global systems that we have in the oceans. it is important to say that these are sea surface temperatures. it is also about the time of year. so normally the oceans are at their hottest in march, but we are obviously now in august. and so scientists are worried about all of that time left until next march. there is also el nino which is less naturally occurring climate fluctuation which we have talked about it before. it happens every few years but it does drive up ocean temperatures. but we are only at the beginning of that now, it is quite weak and so as not to get stronger in the coming months, scientists say they fear these average temperatures will just carry they fear these average temperatures willjust carry on going up. what do scientists think is the cause? scientists know that in the long term, climate change is driving up average temperatures in the oceans. they also think that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat that we have emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases, 90% is served by the oceans. a lot of that, they believe, is going into the deep ocean. it may be that some of that now is rising to the surface. and thatis now is rising to the surface. and that is what is causing the spikes. there are other factors. there are some natural variability. el nino, as ijust mentioned is one part. there are other theories about the localised heat waves that you just mentioned on the map in the north atlantic. there could be other things going on. this is an act attempt to figure out the puzzle. the oceans are very, get it. it is been a long time since ireann land temperatures are going up but we are really now seeing that oceans are catching up to those decades of fossil fuels being omitted. thank ou ve fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much — fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much for _ fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much for that. - helen fox is conservation science director at the coral reef alliance — an ngo working on marine ecology. shejoins me now. thank you so much forjoining us. let me ask you first of all, how boring and alarming as all of this? thank you. it is definitely alarming. warming ocean temperatures are already causing coral bleaching. that is what we study at the coral reef alliance. and these continued rising temperatures are going to continue to cause stress to reefs and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean. 50 and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean.— the whole

worried. there have been - worse again? we are definitely - worried. there have been multiple mass bleaching events. they are also threatened by pollution and a run—off and overfishing. so there is much more awareness and a lot of action, but the threats continue to increase as well. so yes, we are worried and we are very much trying to inspire further action to preserve these ecosystems for the communities who depend on them. just exlain communities who depend on them. just explain to viewers at home who may not understand, why is it important to maintain coral reefs? they are notjust to

local communities to do that. also, looking at the science of coral adaptation. also, looking at the science of coraladaptation. how also, looking at the science of coral adaptation. how can carols

charges of rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. the court has placed them underjudicial control — meaning they can't leave the country without permission. a short time ago, andrew tate had this to say to the waiting media. injanuary, when i was thrown in a jail cell, the media reported and told the world i was a terrible person. they said that i hurt people and i make a lot of money from criminal enterprise, and here we stand, seven or eight months later, and i've not seen a single victim on the news. i don't know if you have. i've seen lots of girls sticking up for me, lots of people defending me. i've not seen a single person stand up and say that i have hurt them — not one. it's very exhausting to continue to perpetuate lies. it is very hard to keep lies afloat when you have no actual evidence. we've been completely innocent since the beginning of this, and i have to give absolute faith to the romanian judicial system for finally making the right decision and letting us free. i'm sure in the end, we'll be absolutely exonerated, and everybody who was pushing these lies and reporting things on repeat without any substantial evidence are going to have to analyse within themselves why they decided to try to destroy people's lives purely for views. i've done nothing wrong. god knows i've done nothing wrong. in my heart, i know i've done nothing wrong. i think the people at home with a functioning brain understand that we've done nothing wrong. because nobody is yet to identify a single victim, which is saying that we've done anything to them since the beginning of this entire process. once again, absolute respect to thejudge. respect to romania. respect to the romanian judicial system. i look forward to being completely exonerated in due thank you. let's talk to our europe regional editor, paul moss. paul, many will have heard of andrew tate, some won't have. firstlyjust give us a reminder of who he is. andrew tate first really appeared in public consciousness about ten years ago. he was a kickboxer. rather a successful one. he won a lot of championships. but then he wanted to expand and have a television career. famously, he was chosen to be in the british version of big brother, but then he was kicked off earlier on when video footage appeared which appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt. and there was also some footage in which he seemed to show off about it. since then, he has become what is known as an influence, but i am not talking about someone who tells people what perfume are under way to buy. this was someone who gave men advice about women step to describe it as misogynistic would be an understatement. he talked a lot about how he would phone per woman if she accused him of anything. he described women as men's property. he talked about women belonging in the kitchen. in some ways it was like listening to the views of the very traditional 19th englishman in the body of teenager who perhaps had had one drink too many and want to show off to his teenage friends. this is very much part of his image. i put women in their place, i abuse them, i have, he says, very openly hit them. he has recommended this to others as well. he is very popular with this. some of his videos have been seen literally millions of times. .. been seen literally

but now, we have seen him accused of a lot more serious things, and we? what is it that he is accused of doing and why was he arrested and what it is today's ruling mean for him? figs was he arrested and what it is today's ruling mean for him? as you sa , ve today's ruling mean for him? as you say. very serious — today's ruling mean for him? as you say, very serious offences _ today's ruling mean for him? as you say, very serious offences indeed. i say, very serious offences indeed. he is accused of allegedly rape. he is charged along with his brother and two other women with forming a criminal gang. and also with human trafficking and other specific details of the allegations are that women were limited to this residence in romania, true man to clear read and promised a relationship with him, he does recommend seduction as a technique on how to go about it, but what they alleged was that after this the women were held captive and forced to appear in pornographic videos which were then shown on the internet. mr tate, as we have seen, denies all of those allegations. what changes today is that he is under what they call in romania as we heard, judicial control. that means he is no longer under house arrest and he can come and go as he pleases. but he is not allowed to leave romania, in fact he is not allowed to leave bucharest, the city he is in at all. he is not allowed to contact any of the alleged victims in this case who made the allegations against him.— victims in this case who made the allegations against him. thank you ve much allegations

scientists in spain have found a naturally—occurring strain of bacteria, which could help stop the transmission of malaria from mosquitoes to humans. the discovery suggests the bacteria could reduce the quantity of the malaria parasite in a mosquito by more than 70%. so, how significant is the breakthrough? let's ask our global health correspondent naomi grimley. this sounds very exciting. how important is it? it this sounds very exciting. how important is it?— this sounds very exciting. how important is it? it is important, they think- _ important is it? it is important, they think. they _ important is it? it is important, they think. they are _ important is it? it is important, they think. they are still- important is it? it is important, they think. they are still doing | they think. they are still doing more trials, it is important to stress that. but they actually discovered this by chance, because what was happening was they were using a colony of mosquitoes for drug research in the gsk rnd facility in spain, and what happened was overtime mosquitoes stopped carrying the malaria parasite. so they stopped contracting malaria. and they froze their samples and a few years later they came back to them to try to find out more. and they found that there was this naturally occurring bacteria in the mosquitoes goat and they think that thatis mosquitoes goat and they think that that is responsible for dampening down the effect of the malaria parasite. what is the next step now? i assume we need more trials, don't we? absolutely. they stress that this bacteria is naturally found in plants and in water. so it is not something that has been genetically modified. but they do want to do more trials for safety. they are doing this in the burkina faso where there is a big facility called mosquito sphere. this is almost like greenhouses where they can catch and release the mosquitoes and do trials as if in the real world. but without of course there's mosquitoes escaping. they are going to do more to check that it really does work and also that it is safe. they also need to think about the manufacturing of this bacteria. are they going to use it as alive bacteria are they going to extract the compound that they think the bacteria secretes inside the mosquito and find a way to use that? perhaps even putting it on surfaces because we know that the mosquito can sort of absorb it up through its cuticle. �* , , ., cuticle. let's remind viewers who ma not cuticle. let's remind viewers who may rrot know — cuticle. let's remind viewers who may not

out in africa at the moment. that is still in the early stages but that is very exciting. as we have seen, there are other tools that can be used. perhaps this one. why is it important? because malaria and still develop resistance to drugs and pesticides and insecticides. it is really important that they keep looking for other interventions to work against this disease, one of the oldest in

to existing routes and a new bypass created to form a ring road. motorists would have to drive around rather than across the city to go between zones. while potentially facing a fine for crossing boundaries. the idea was to get people out of their cars and travel by foot, bike or public transport instead. but at the new leadership of the council is officially reviewing the scheme which is a way of saying it will be scrapped. balancing the needs of motorists and the need to protect the palate is now becoming a big political issue. the conservatives have condemned the expansion of the ultra low emission owned by labour's mayer of london. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. a west african delegation which was aiming to mediate in niger — following last week's coup — has left the country afterjust a few hours — without any sign of progress. the negotiators appointed by the regional bloc ecowas didn't meet the deposed president, mohamed bazoum — or the leader of the coup. mr bazoum has urged the international community to help restore order. writing in the washington post, he said he was writing "as a hostage", and warned that the entire sahel region could fall under russian influence. let's speak to our correspondent, catherine byaruhanga, who's following developments from nairobi. catherine, i read a tiny extract of what was written, but give us more of a flavour of what was said in that article by mr bissouma. it was uuite a that article by mr bissouma. it was quite a dramatic _ that article by mr

community to regional state to come in and step in to save his government. he said a democracy in niger. it is one of the things that he had to do straight off the bat was to defend his record in government. that is because niger's new military leaders had to take power because his government had failed in enforcing security in the country as well as economic development. he said that that was not the case under his government. he then also defends his ties with international partners, especially the united states and france. and thatis the united states and france. and that is because there is a lot of resentment within niger at the moment. at the influence of western powers in the country. and then he points of course to russia's growing influence in niger and other so hell countries. and he says that should the coup in niger take place, that would mean that there is instability and something that russia could take advantage of. has and something that russia could take

for the government in niger. he said it was unlikely that the intervention of non—regional forces, unlikely that the intervention of non—regionalforces, that is non—african forces, is capable of changing the situation for the better. that is really a statement saying that there shouldn't be any intervention from the west. and he goes on to say that we are monitoring the situation very closely and that there would want a swift return to the constitutional normality in niger. what russia despite all of the concerns about russia's going influence in this hell region. this kremlin and moscow have been clear that they want to see the government of the deposed president, mohamed bazoum, returned. thank you very much indeed. a husband and wife cyber crime team have pleaded guilty to trying to launder 4.5 billion dollars of bitcoin stolen in a hack more than seven years ago. heather morgan and ilya lichtenstein were arrested last year. whilst attempting to evade police, morgan gained notoriety as the amateur rapper calling herself "razzle—khan" and "the crocodile of wall street". our cyber correspondent, joe tidy, reports. # razzlekhan, the versace bedouin. # come realfar but don't know where i'm heading. most criminals like to keep a low profile. not heather morgan, aka razzlekhan. what, what?! because i'm turkish martha stewart, you know? not really, but a little bit. when she wasn't laundering a stash of billions in stolen bitcoin, morgan was on a mission to become famous for rapping. she posted dozens of expletive—filled music videos on youtube and tik tok, and even after her arrest last year, kept them online for the world to see. she also wrote columns pretending to be a successful tech entrepreneur and investor. # tragic. # bad bleep. # mother bleep bad bleep. her husband, ilya lichtenstein, was less keen on the limelight. ok, because i'm not a little wind—up, little dancing monkey that's going to repeat the exact same thing. court documents suggest the computer programmer was the mastermind behind the couple's operation. when police raided their manhattan apartment, they found hollowed out books in his office to conceal phones, dozens of handsets, usbs and wads of cash. they also discovered his spreadsheet meticulously detailing their methods for laundering the stash, which was worth $4.5 billion at the time of arrest. this is the largest seizure of cryptocurrency ever - by us law enforcement. the message to criminals is clear — |cryptocurrency is not a safe haven. j the case dates back to 2016, when an unknown hacker who we now know was lichtenstein, moved nearly 120,000 bitcoins out of the crypto company bitfinex to their own digital wallet. there, the stash sat viewable on the internet for all, but untouchable without the digital key. a year later, lichtenstein and morgan began trying to launder the bitcoin into traditional money. they used all the tricks in the book to try and hide their tracks, including sending small sums of bitcoin to thousands of different crypto wallets owned by fake identities, mixing it through criminal darknet marketplaces, and setting up shell companies to make the funds look legitimate. police followed years of transactions on bitcoin's public ledger as the couple cashed out millions of dollars. one of their key mistakes was buying supermarket vouchers with the stolen funds. gift cards moving between different exchanges, moving across different cryptocurrency assets. so that never actually created the sort of break in provenance that was intended to happen when you are trying to launder that amount of money. the case is the latest in a string of high—profile successes for police around the world who've become adept at following trails left by criminals using bitcoin. yo, i'm in my art studio. i'm in the razzle universe. and ijust painted this, baby. it says "gilfy". police say morgan and lichtenstein were planning to flee the us to russia — lichtenstein's country of birth. if successful, they would have likely lived a billionaire lifestyle, safe from arrest by the us. instead, they now face prison. joe tidy, bbc news. there's a warning that seagrass meadows around britain's coast are being suffocated — because of water pollution and warmer weather. scientists say the underwater plant, which absorbs co2 and shelters marine life, becomes stressed in warmer waters. so a large restoration project is taking place in north wales, where a million seeds will be harvested in order to sow and restore meadows. hywel griffith reports. under the shimmering shallows, seagrass grows close to our coastline. but over the last century, up to 92% of these meadows around the uk have disappeared. here on the mudflats of the river severn, you will find it in the channels. seagrass forms like a filter and those channels run absolute crystal clear. it those channels run absolute crystal clear. , ., ., those channels run absolute crystal clear. ,

rocked beirut on this day on august the 4th in 2020. if you remember the massive blast destroyed huge swathes of the lebanese capital. it is a day of the lebanese capital. it is a day of mourning being held today to mark the third anniversary. the explosion killed 220 people and injured at least six and a half thousand people. now, if you remember, authorities at the time said that the disaster was caused by a fire in a warehouse where a vast stockpile of chemical or ammonium nitrate had been stored for years. that is the anniversary of that explosion. more on that story on our website. if you go to it you can also have a look at this. sorry about the late queen elizabeth ii. there will be no public event for the anniversary of her death. a royal spokesperson has confirmed that the king will spend the 8th of september quietly and privately. the day also of course max's own accession to the front. that and lots of other stories as always on our website. i am back in always on our website. i am back in a few minutes' time. stay with us on the bbc. hello again. for many of us, it started off on a fairly dry note with some sunshine. we'll see a few showers developing through the course of today. but i think, so far, for most of us, it's dry and there's been some sunny spells already. that was the scene in falkirk first thing this morning. the showers today most focused around eastern areas of england. now, look at the bright colours here. some of the greens indicative of some heavy, perhaps even thundery, showers as we go through the afternoon. but further north and west, it's drier. some lengthy spells of sunshine and maximum temperatures getting up into the high teens. maybe the low 20s across southern areas of england. but as we go through tonight and into the start of the weekend, we've got another area of low pressure that's moving its way in from the atlantic. the iso bars here, the white lines getting closer together. some strong winds developing into saturday morning and certainly throughout saturday, heavy rain and some coastal gales. some improvements by sunday. there'll be a few showers and those winds will ease. but a very wet start to the day on saturday, particularly for northern ireland into wales. that heavy rain spreads its way further eastward as the morning goes on. gales developing around the coast of wales and south west england. that rain will gradually ease away from these southern and western areas into the afternoon. a few showers following behind that, and certainly for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, escaping the worst of the rain on saturday. there'll be some sunny spells, but also some heavy showers throughout the course of the afternoon. but it is going to be disappointingly cool for the time of year. look at those temperatures. ia degrees in newcastle, birmingham. 17 or 18 degrees further south. now, this is sunday. as i said, some improvements, a dryer day for most of us. still some showers coming in on that northwesterly wind across parts of wales, into scotland, northern england. northern ireland also seeing a few showers, but there should be some dry spells and some sunshine from time to time. temperatures up a little bit on saturday's values — about 17 to 19 degrees. and then, into next week, we've got one area of low pressure that's moving to the east on monday into tuesday. then high pressure starts to move in from the south, and high pressure is what you want to see if you want drier, brighter, and for some of us, warmer weather as well. look at those temperatures as we go through wednesday into the end of the week, getting up into the low to the mid 20s. so, a sign of summer to come. goodbye. recorded temperature as they soak up warmth from climate change. have you got a reading for today yet, do you know? the average surface temperature has reached almost 21 degrees celsius — far above the average for the time of year. the heatwaves that we are seeing are experiencing on land, the marine heatwaves that we are seeing happening in unusual locations, where we haven't expected them. we'll be assessing the dangers for the planet of these rising ocean temperatures. also this lunchtime... we'll have the latest from washington — as donald trump claims he's the victim of political persecution as he pleads not guilty in court to charges of trying to overturn the result of the last presidential election. ukraine releases footage of what it claims is an unmanned sea drone attacking a russian navy ship docked hundreds of miles from the frontline. calls for a tougher sentence for the driver who killed frankiejules huff while he filmed himself at 123 miles an hour. and england's lionesses in training ahead of their world cup knock out game next week against nigeria. and coming up on bbc news... the future of the commonwealth games is in doubt after another potential host pulls—out of staging the event. good afternoon. scientists say our oceans have hit their hottest

global systems that we have in the oceans. it is important to say that these are sea surface temperatures. it is also about the time of year. so normally the oceans are at their hottest in march, but we are obviously now in august. and so scientists are worried about all of that time left until next march. there is also el nino which is less naturally occurring climate fluctuation which we have talked about it before. it happens every few years but it does drive up ocean temperatures. but we are only at the beginning of that now, it is quite weak and so as not to get stronger in the coming months, scientists say they fear these average temperatures will just carry they fear these average temperatures willjust carry on going up. what do scientists think is the cause? scientists know that in the long term, climate change is driving up average temperatures in the oceans. they also think that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat that we have emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases, 90% is served by the oceans. a lot of that, they believe, is going into the deep ocean. it may be that some of that now is rising to the surface. and thatis now is rising to the surface. and that is what is causing the spikes. there are other factors. there are some natural variability. el nino, as ijust mentioned is one part. there are other theories about the localised heat waves that you just mentioned on the map in the north atlantic. there could be other things going on. this is an act attempt to figure out the puzzle. the oceans are very, get it. it is been a long time since ireann land temperatures are going up but we are really now seeing that oceans are catching up to those decades of fossil fuels being omitted. thank ou ve fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much — fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much for _ fossil fuels being omitted. thank you very much for that. - helen fox is conservation science director at the coral reef alliance — an ngo working on marine ecology. shejoins me now. thank you so much forjoining us. let me ask you first of all, how boring and alarming as all of this? thank you. it is definitely alarming. warming ocean temperatures are already causing coral bleaching. that is what we study at the coral reef alliance. and these continued rising temperatures are going to continue to cause stress to reefs and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean. 50 and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean.— the whole

much more awareness and a lot of action, but the threats continue to increase as well. so yes, we are worried and we are very much trying to inspire further action to preserve these ecosystems for the communities who depend on them. just exlain communities who depend on them. just explain to viewers at home who may not understand, why is it important to maintain coral reefs? they are notjust to

charges of rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. the court has placed them underjudicial control — meaning they can't leave the country without permission. a short time ago, andrew tate had this to say to the waiting media. injanuary, when i was thrown in a jail cell, the media reported and told the world i was a terrible person. they said that i hurt people and i make a lot of money from criminal enterprise, and here we stand, seven or eight months later, and i've not seen a single victim on the news. i don't know if you have. i've seen lots of girls sticking up for me, lots of people defending me. i've not seen a single person stand up and say that i have hurt them — not one. it's very exhausting to continue to perpetuate lies. it is very hard to keep lies afloat when you have no actual evidence. we've been completely innocent since the beginning of this, and i have to give absolute faith to the romanian judicial system for finally making the right decision and letting us free. i'm sure in the end, we'll be absolutely exonerated, and everybody who was pushing these lies and reporting things on repeat without any substantial evidence are going to have to analyse within themselves why they decided to try to destroy people's lives purely for views. i've done nothing wrong. god knows i've done nothing wrong. in my heart, i know i've done nothing wrong. i think the people at home with a functioning brain understand that we've done nothing wrong. because nobody is yet to identify a single victim, which is saying that we've done anything to them since the beginning of this entire process. once again, absolute respect to thejudge. respect to romania. respect to the romanian judicial system. i look forward to being completely exonerated in due thank you. let's talk to our europe regional editor, paul moss. paul, many will have heard of andrew tate, some won't have. firstlyjust give us a reminder of who he is. andrew tate first really appeared in public consciousness about ten years ago. he was a kickboxer. rather a successful one. he won a lot of championships. but then he wanted to expand and have a television career. famously, he was chosen to be in the british version of big brother, but then he was kicked off earlier on when video footage appeared which appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt. and there was also some footage in which he seemed to show off about it. since then, he has become what is known as an influence, but i am not talking about someone who tells people what perfume are under way to buy. this was someone who gave men advice about women step to describe it as misogynistic would be an understatement. he talked a lot about how he would phone per woman if she accused him of anything. he described women as men's property. he talked about women belonging in the kitchen. in some ways it was like listening to the views of the very traditional 19th englishman in the body of teenager who perhaps had had one drink too many and want to show off to his teenage friends. this is very much part of his image. i put women in their place, i abuse them, i have, he says, very openly hit them. he has recommended this to others as well. he is very popular with this. some of his videos have been seen literally millions of times. .. been seen literally

but now, we have seen him accused of a lot more serious things, and we? what is it that he is accused of doing and why was he arrested and what it is today's ruling mean for him? figs was he arrested and what it is today's ruling mean for him? as you sa , ve today's ruling mean for him? as you say. very serious — today's ruling mean for him? as you say, very serious offences _ today's ruling mean for him? as you say, very serious offences indeed. i say, very serious offences indeed. he is accused of allegedly rape. he is charged along with his brother and two other women with forming a criminal gang. and also with human trafficking and other specific details of the allegations are that women were limited to this residence in romania, true man to clear read and promised a relationship with him, he does recommend seduction as a technique on how to go about it, but what they alleged was that after this the women were held captive and forced to appear in pornographic videos which were then shown on the internet. mr tate, as we have seen, denies all of those allegations. what changes today is that he is under what they call in romania as we heard, judicial control. that means he is no longer under house arrest and he can come and go as he pleases. but he is not allowed to leave romania, in fact he is not allowed to leave bucharest, the city he is in at all. he is not allowed to contact any of the alleged victims in this case who made the allegations against him.— victims in this case who made the allegations against him. thank you ve much allegations

scientists in spain have found a naturally—occurring strain of bacteria, which could help stop the transmission of malaria from mosquitoes to humans. the discovery suggests the bacteria could reduce the quantity of the malaria parasite in a mosquito by more than 70%. so, how significant is the breakthrough? let's ask our global health correspondent naomi grimley. this sounds very exciting. how important is it? it this sounds very exciting. how important is it?— this sounds very exciting. how important is it? it is important, they think- _ important is it? it is important, they think. they _ important is it? it is important, they think. they are _ important is it? it is important, they think. they are still- important is it? it is important, they think. they are still doing | they think. they are still doing more trials, it is important to stress that. but they actually discovered this by chance, because what was happening was they were using a colony of mosquitoes for drug research in the gsk rnd facility in spain, and what happened was overtime mosquitoes stopped carrying the malaria parasite. so they stopped contracting malaria. and they froze their samples and a few years later they came back to them to try to find out more. and they found that there was this naturally occurring bacteria in the mosquitoes goat and they think that thatis mosquitoes goat and they think that that is responsible for dampening down the effect of the malaria parasite. what is the next step now? i assume we need more trials, don't we? absolutely. they stress that this bacteria is naturally found in plants and in water. so it is not something that has been genetically modified. but they do want to do more trials for safety. they are doing this in the burkina faso where there is a big facility called mosquito sphere. this is almost like greenhouses where they can catch and release the mosquitoes and do trials as if in the real world. but without of course there's mosquitoes escaping. they are going to do more to check that it really does work and also that it is safe. they also need to think about the manufacturing of this bacteria. are they going to use it as alive bacteria are they going to extract the compound that they think the bacteria secretes inside the mosquito and find a way to use that? perhaps even putting it on surfaces because we know that the mosquito can sort of absorb it up through its cuticle. �* , , ., cuticle. let's remind viewers who ma not cuticle. let's remind viewers who may rrot know — cuticle. let's remind viewers who may not

about the majority of those being in children under the age of five. the majority are in africa. many countries are still grappling with malaria. the good news is that we have vaccines being rolled out in africa at the moment. that is still in the early stages but that is very exciting. as we have seen, there are other tools that can be used. perhaps this one. why is it important? because malaria and still develop resistance to drugs and pesticides and insecticides. it is really important that they keep looking for other interventions to work against this disease, one of the oldest in the world.— work against this disease, one of the oldest in the world. thank you very much — the oldest in the world. thank you very much indeed. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc

to existing routes and a new bypass created to form a ring road. motorists would have to drive around rather than across the city to go between zones. while potentially facing a fine for crossing boundaries. the idea was to get people out of their cars and travel by foot, bike or public transport instead. but at the new leadership of the council is officially reviewing the scheme which is a way of saying it will be scrapped. balancing the needs of motorists and the need to protect the palate is now becoming a big political issue. the conservatives have condemned the expansion of the ultra low emission owned by labour's mayer of london. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. a west african delegation which was aiming to mediate in niger — following last week's coup — has left the country afterjust a few hours — without any sign of progress. the negotiators appointed by the regional bloc ecowas didn't meet the deposed president, mohamed bazoum — or the leader of the coup. mr bazoum has urged the international community to help restore order. writing in the washington post, he said he was writing "as a hostage", and warned that the entire sahel region could fall under russian influence. let's speak to our correspondent, catherine byaruhanga, who's following developments from nairobi. catherine, i read a tiny extract of what was written, but give us more of a flavour of what was said in that article by mr bissouma. it was uuite a that article by mr bissouma. it was quite a dramatic _ that article by mr

community to regional state to come in and step in to save his government. he said a democracy in niger. it is one of the things that he had to do straight off the bat was to defend his record in government. that is because niger's new military leaders had to take power because his government had failed in enforcing security in the country as well as economic development. he said that that was not the case under his government. he then also defends his ties with international partners, especially the united states and france. and thatis the united states and france. and that is because there is a lot of resentment within niger at the moment. at the influence of western powers in the country. and then he points of course to russia's growing influence in niger and other so hell countries. and he says that should the coup in niger take place, that would mean that there is instability and something that russia could take advantage of. has and something that russia could take

for the government in niger. he said it was unlikely that the intervention of non—regional forces, unlikely that the intervention of non—regionalforces, that is non—african forces, is capable of changing the situation for the better. that is really a statement saying that there shouldn't be any intervention from the west. and he goes on to say that we are monitoring the situation very closely and that there would want a swift return to the constitutional normality in niger. what russia despite all of the concerns about russia's going influence in this hell region. this kremlin and moscow have been clear that they want to see the government of the deposed president, mohamed bazoum, returned. thank you very much indeed. a husband and wife cyber crime team have pleaded guilty to trying to launder 4.5 billion dollars of bitcoin stolen in a hack more than seven years ago. heather morgan and ilya lichtenstein were arrested last year. whilst attempting to evade police, morgan gained notoriety as the amateur rapper calling herself "razzle—khan" and "the crocodile of wall street". our cyber correspondent, joe tidy, reports. # razzlekhan, the versace bedouin. # come realfar but don't know where i'm heading. most criminals like to keep a low profile. not heather morgan, aka razzlekhan. what, what?! because i'm turkish martha stewart, you know? not really, but a little bit. when she wasn't laundering a stash of billions in stolen bitcoin, morgan was on a mission to become famous for rapping. she posted dozens of expletive—filled music videos on youtube and tik tok, and even after her arrest last year, kept them online for the world to see. she also wrote columns pretending to be a successful tech entrepreneur and investor. # tragic. # bad bleep. # mother bleep bad bleep. her husband, ilya lichtenstein, was less keen on the limelight. ok, because i'm not a little wind—up, little dancing monkey that's going to repeat the exact same thing. court documents suggest the computer programmer was the mastermind behind the couple's operation. when police raided their manhattan apartment, they found hollowed out books in his office to conceal phones, dozens of handsets, usbs and wads of cash. they also discovered his spreadsheet meticulously detailing their methods for laundering the stash, which was worth $4.5 billion at the time of arrest. this is the largest seizure of cryptocurrency ever - by us law enforcement. the message to criminals is clear — |cryptocurrency is not a safe haven. j the case dates back to 2016, when an unknown hacker who we now know was lichtenstein, moved nearly 120,000 bitcoins out of the crypto company bitfinex to their own digital wallet. there, the stash sat viewable on the internet for all, but untouchable without the digital key. a year later, lichtenstein and morgan began trying to launder the bitcoin into traditional money. they used all the tricks in the book to try and hide their tracks, including sending small sums of bitcoin to thousands of different crypto wallets owned by fake identities, mixing it through criminal darknet marketplaces, and setting up shell companies to make the funds look legitimate. police followed years of transactions on bitcoin's public ledger as the couple cashed out millions of dollars. one of their key mistakes was buying supermarket vouchers with the stolen funds. gift cards moving between different exchanges, moving across different cryptocurrency assets. so that never actually created the sort of break in provenance that was intended to happen when you are trying to launder that amount of money. the case is the latest in a string of high—profile successes for police around the world who've become adept at following trails left by criminals using bitcoin. yo, i'm in my art studio. i'm in the razzle universe. and ijust painted this, baby. it says "gilfy". police say morgan and lichtenstein were planning to flee the us to russia — lichtenstein's country of birth. if successful, they would have likely lived a billionaire lifestyle, safe from arrest by the us. instead, they now face prison. joe tidy, bbc news. there's a warning that seagrass meadows around britain's coast are being suffocated — because of water pollution and warmer weather. scientists say the underwater plant, which absorbs co2 and shelters marine life, becomes stressed in warmer waters. so a large restoration project is taking place in north wales, where a million seeds will be harvested in order to sow and restore meadows. hywel griffith reports. under the shimmering shallows, seagrass grows close to our coastline. but over the last century, up to 92% of these meadows around the uk have disappeared. here on the mudflats of the river severn, you will find it in the channels. seagrass forms like a filter and those channels run absolute crystal clear. it those channels run absolute crystal clear. , ., ., those channels run absolute crystal clear. ,

sediment. although it only covers 0.i% into the roots and the sediment. although it only covers 0.1% of the sea bed, it accounts for up to 18% of the ocean's cavern storage. seagrass also offers

being held today to mark the third anniversary. the explosion killed 220 people and injured at least six and a half thousand people. now, if you remember, authorities at the time said that the disaster was caused by a fire in a warehouse where a vast stockpile of chemical or ammonium nitrate had been stored for years. that is the anniversary of that explosion. more on that story on our website. if you go to it you can also have a look at this. sorry about the late queen elizabeth ii. there will be no public event for the anniversary of her death. a royal spokesperson has confirmed that the king will spend the 8th of september quietly and privately. the day also of course max's own accession to the front. that and lots of other stories as always on our website. i am back in always on our website. i am back in a few minutes' time. stay with us on the bbc. hello again. for many of us, it started off on a fairly dry note with some sunshine. we'll see a few showers developing through the course of today. but i think, so far, for most of us, it's dry and there's been some sunny spells already. that was the scene in falkirk first thing this morning. the showers today most focused around eastern areas of england. now, look at the bright colours here. some of the greens indicative of some heavy, perhaps even thundery, showers as we go through the afternoon. but further north and west, it's drier. some lengthy spells of sunshine and maximum temperatures getting up into the high teens. maybe the low 20s across southern areas of england. but as we go through tonight and into the start of the weekend, we've got another area of low pressure that's moving its way in from the atlantic. the iso bars here, the white lines getting closer together. some strong winds developing into saturday morning and certainly throughout saturday, heavy rain and some coastal gales. some improvements by sunday. there'll be a few showers and those winds will ease. but a very wet start to the day on saturday, particularly for northern ireland into wales. that heavy rain spreads its way further eastward as the morning goes on. gales developing around the coast of wales and south west england. that rain will gradually ease away from these southern and western areas into the afternoon. a few showers following behind that, and certainly for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, escaping the worst of the rain on saturday. there'll be some sunny spells, but also some heavy showers throughout the course of the afternoon. but it is going to be disappointingly cool for the time of year. look at those temperatures. ia degrees in newcastle, birmingham. 17 or 18 degrees further south. now, this is sunday. as i said, some improvements, a dryer day for most of us. still some showers coming in on that northwesterly wind across parts of wales, into scotland, northern england. northern ireland also seeing a few showers, but there should be some dry spells and some sunshine from time to time. temperatures up a little bit on saturday's values — about 17 to 19 degrees. and then, into next week, we've got one area of low pressure that's moving to the east on monday into tuesday. then high pressure starts to move in from the south, and high pressure is what you want to see if you want drier, brighter, and for some of us, warmer weather as well. look at those temperatures as we go through wednesday into the end of the week, getting up into the low to the mid 20s. so, a sign of summer to come. goodbye. recorded temperature as they soak up warmth from climate change. have you got a reading for today yet, do you know? the average surface temperature has reached almost 21 degrees celsius — far above the average for the time of year. the heatwaves that we are seeing are experiencing on land, the marine heatwaves that we are seeing happening in unusual locations, where we haven't expected them. we'll be assessing the dangers for the planet of these rising ocean temperatures. also this lunchtime... we'll have the latest from washington — as donald trump claims he's the victim of political persecution as he pleads not guilty in court to charges of trying to overturn the result of the last presidential election. ukraine releases footage of what it claims is an unmanned sea drone attacking a russian navy ship docked hundreds of miles from the frontline. calls for a tougher sentence for the driver who killed frankiejules huff while he filmed himself at 123 miles an hour. and england's lionesses in training ahead of their world cup knock out game next week against nigeria. and coming up on bbc news... the future of the commonwealth games is in doubt after another potential host pulls—out of staging the event. good afternoon. scientists say our oceans have hit their hottest
