pleas to the charges. our correspondent daniel de simone has been tracking the court proceedings and sent this update from the old bailey. they've been in the uk for between ten and 15 years. the three defendants are orlin roussev, bizer dzhambazov and katrin ivanova. the latter two have been living as a couple in a series of suburban properties in london for about ten years. mr roussev arrived earlier in the uk, about 15 years ago, and he worked in financial services, in a technical role in communications, and later moved on to, he claims, own a company that was involved in signals intelligence, which involves the interception of communications. the other two worked, we're told, in health care jobs. that's what they told neighbours. they did own a local community group that supported bulgarian people who moved to the uk with english language classes and other things. this investigation is by the met police counterterrorism team, which has responsibility over espionage investigations. it investigated them in february. properties in london and great yarmouth were searched. and these three were charged with possessing fake id documents — including passports, identity cards and other documents for nine different countries — and they have been remanded since february. they are going to be on trial here at the old bailey in london, and the trial is currently due to start injanuary next year. six former metropolitan police officers have been charged with sending racist messages on whatsapp after an investigation by a bbc programme. last year, newsnight was passed dozens of messages shared within the chat by a member of the group. some of the posts referenced the government's rwanda policy, while others joked about recent flooding in pakistan which left almost 1,700 people dead. newsnight�*s uk editor, sima kotecha, gave us this update. these charges have come after our investigation that took place last october. six men have been charged. at one point, they all worked for the metropolitan police. and they were all part of a unit called the diplomatic protection group. it's now called the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. now, they allegedly exchanged messages between 2018 and 2022. they were not serving at the time their participation in this group took place, says the met police. and in a press release today, the largest force in britain said the charges follow an investigation by the met�*s directorate of professional standards, which was launched following coverage by the bbc�*s newsnight programme in october last year. now, the officers, who retired between 2001 and 2015, have been charged by post. they are scheduled to appear at westminster magistrates�* court on the 7th of september, where they will enter a plea to these charges. and again, the commanderjames herman also adds to his statement — he leads the met�*s anti—corruption and abuse command — he said, "as soon as we were made aware of these allegations, "we acted to launch an investigation. "i'm pleased that following the determined work of officers, "we have been able to secure these charges." it's two years since the taliban returned to power in afghanistan, and the united nations says

of how it is hard to live your life in a dark cell, you cannot go out, you cannot buy anything, you cannot breathe and you cannot talk loudly because somebody would hear and approach you and kidnap

freedom of information responses due to a "technical issue". the personal data included descriptions of offences including sexual and domestic assaults. our correspondent mark lobel gave us this update a short while ago. well, very sensitive data relating to victims and witnesses of crimes such as sexual offences, domestic incidents and hate crimes. it came about because of a freedom of information request, where the public demands information held by public authorities, and that was supplied. in this case, crime statistics from april 2021 till may last year, by suffolk and norfolk constabularies — police forces in the east of england. the problem was they attached raw data to their replies, and that affected 1,230 people, for which one of the senior figures in the police force has apologised. and that is because the data itself should never have been released in the first place. it was not immediately apparent on the replies that were sent, and the police have in fact said that they don't believe, so far, that there has been anything to suggest that the data has actually been accessed by anyone outside policing. however, they have apologised, of course. and the uk data watchdog is investigating this breach. meanwhile, all the people affected are currently being contacted by the police forces in question. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a ten—year—old girl has been named... please say three people are known to them and they want to speak to. adam smith has responded to allegations... the bbc says it cannot comment on the specifics of an individual case concerning a number of cases reported about mr nolan. among them was an allegation that mr norman had sent sexually explicit images of a guest on the tv show to other bbc staff —— mr nolan. a moment of silence for families and victims of the omagh bomb has been held to mark the 25th anniversary of the attack. 29 people were killed by the bomb planted by the real ira in 1998. prayers were said at the glass obelisk marking the scene of the bomb on market street. you're live with bbc news. the police... the senior detective leading the investigation has said i am asking the public to look at this image and see if they recognise this individual. it is vital identify and locate him as soon as possible. donald trump has called the latest charges levelled against him a "witch hunt". he's facing a fourth set of criminal charges, accused of trying to overturn his defeat in the us state of georgia in the 2020 presidential election. the 13 counts against him include violating georgia's law on racketeering. he is also charged with conspiracy to commit forgery and with making false statements. mr trump has said that he'll host a news conference in newjersey on monday to reveal what he claims will be a detailed report on "election fraud" in georgia. from washington, here's our correspondent sean dilley. hello, ma'am. thank you. this was the moment fulton county judge robert mcburney approved the grand jury�*s decision to indict donald trump and 18 alleged conspirators on racketeering charges — the same laws used to pursue mob bosses. prosecutors say their investigation was in part prompted by this leaked call between the then president and georgia's top election official, brad raffensperger. among donald trump's co—defendants, his former white house chief of staff mark meadows and his former attorneys rudy giuliani and john eastman. every individual charged in the indictment is charged with one count of violating georgia's racketeer—influenced and corrupt organisations act, through participation in a criminal enterprise in fulton county, georgia, and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing donald] trump to seize the presidential term of office beginning onjanuary 20th, �*21. speaking ahead of the indictments, the trump campaign said... this is the fourth time the former president has been indicted. he is due to go on trial in new york next march charged over claims he used his business to hide hush money payments to a porn star. two months later, in may, he will stand trial in florida on espionage and obstruction charges over claims he held on to classified papers after leaving office. donald trump has already been charged by federal prosecutors in washington, dc over allegations he tried to cheat the 2020 election. a trial date has not been set. he denies all charges. every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. we need one more indictment to close out this election, one more indictment and this election is closed out. nobody has even a chance. applause that was donald trump speaking at a campaign rally in alabama. now he faces 91 counts, in four separate criminal cases. sean dilley, bbc news in washington. a short while ago, i asked another of our correspondents in washington, wyre davies, to take us through what might happen next to mr trump. the first thing is that donald trump and his co—defendants have been given just over a week until a week on friday to surrender in legal terms, to present themselves in georgia and to have those charges formally read out against them. now, the prosecutor has also said that she would like to see a trial within about six months. and, of course, the interesting thing about that is that that would fall right in the middle of a presidential election campaign. it's not clear if a trial can be expedited that quickly, given, of course, all the other criminal cases against mr trump in washington and in new york. but that was what the state prosecutor has said in georgia. it will be up to a judge to decide when a trial actually starts. but these are very serious charges, charges of racketeering, of election meddling. there was that infamous phone call where donald trump pleaded with an election official in georgia to find 11,780 votes, a phone call that donald trump himself has described as just a normal, innocent phone call. so these are very serious charges. we don't know yet, though, when a trial will start. wyre, i was reading that some of the evidence that might be used against donald trump could include some of his tweets. but of course, we've been hearing from mr trump on his new social network, truth social. he's denying these latest charges. but what more has he said? well, he's said, and he's fronted this up, he thinks that this is part of a politically orchestrated campaign against him. he also believes that the more of these charges, the more of these indictments that appear, actually, the higher his poll ratings go. and there is some truth to that. but equally, there is some evidence that perhaps moderate republican voters might not back him in future if there were criminal convictions against him. of course, trump's hardcore of supporters will support him through thick and thin. one of the key things about what is happening in georgia is that these are charges relating to accusations that happened specifically within the state of georgia. these are not federal, us—wide charges. and the significance of that is if donald trump was elected again as us president, if he was convicted in a federal court, he could theoretically absolve himself. he could pardon himself. that is not possible with these charges in the state of georgia. these are state charges. and donald trump's ability to pardon himself if he were to be convicted in georgia just isn't possible. that could only be done after five years. and donald trump certainly couldn't do that straight away. that is, in some regards, the significance of what is happening in the state of georgia. and why these charges in georgia, as serious as they are, are perhaps very different to what is happening federally. reports from southern russia say an explosion at a petrol station has killed at least 35 people and injured dozens more. the accident happened in the capital of dagestan on the caspian sea. pictures shared online shows the aftermath of the explosion. local media reports say a fire started in an area where cars were parked. it then spread to the petrol station, sparking the explosion. and these pictures were released by the russian emergencies ministry. hundreds of firefighters battled to control the fire. many of those who were injured have been flown to moscow for treatment. our moscow correspondent will vernon gave us this update the number of dead from hawaii's devastating wildfires has climbed to 99, with about 1,300 people still unaccounted for. from the moment the fires began, incredible images started to appear online. but how accurate are they? shayan sardarizadeh from bbc verify has been taking a look. parts of the island of maui, hawaii have been devastated by one of the worst wildfires in its history. the exact cause of the fires is currenly unknown and under investigation. however, that has not stopped viral misinformation being shared online. these are a few examples. this video has been shared on the platform x and viewed more than 11 million times. it claims to show a massive explosion in maui just before the wildfires. however, this video is false. how do we know this? we found this video of the exact same incident posted to tiktok in may. as you can see, there is a chilean flag and some text in spanish, and it says this was an explosion at a power plant. we found a report from a chilean tv network that confirmed this was precisely the case. here's another example. this image has been viewed more than three million times and it says the wildfires were not a natural event and were caused by a massive explosion. but this image is also false. how do we know this? we found this image of the exact same explosion posted to facebook back in january 2018. local reports at the time said this was a controlled explosion at an oil refinery. that beam of light is in fact an optical illusion, which is formed on a cold day. these are only a couple of examples. however, these false claims are still being shared online, and we are still checking and will keep you updated. algeria

little brighter. and over the next few days, we can expect it to turn a little bit warmer as well. it will start to feel quite humid. now, through this evening and tonight, most places will be dry with clear spells, but we'll keep more in the way of cloud across northern and eastern parts of scotland, maybe north—east england, bringing just one or two showers through the early hours of wednesday. a few fog patches are likely to form as well. temperatures generally holding up between 9 and 13 degrees. it mayjust be a little bit cooler than that across some parts of east wales, the west midlands and down into the west country. so for southern england, parts of wales, northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, we do have the potential for some fog patches through the morning, and at this time of year, that fog can linger for a couple of hours. so it may still be quite murky for some through the morning rush hour, but that fog will then lift and clear. we'll see some spells of sunshine. just the small chance for a shower. a bit more of a chance, i think, of catching a shower in the north of scotland, where we will also keep more in the way of clouds. 17 degrees for aberdeen, but further south and east, highs of 26. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, our area of high pressure strengthens, it drifts north—eastwards and the winds will start to come in from the near—continent, and that will lift the temperatures in many locations. many of us will get up into the 20s celsius on thursday. a bit of fog first thing across parts of northern england, up into scotland. that should lift and clear. sunny spells, not too many showers, most places will be dry. and those temperatures, well, quite widely between 20 and 24 degrees. but some places in south—east england, maybe around some western coasts as well, could get to around 26. now, friday will be a warm—feeling day as well, butjust how warm depends upon the progress of these frontal systems from the atlantic. if these fronts hang back and we see more in the way of sunshine, it could be a very warm day indeed. but at this stage, it looks most likely that cloud and rain will spread from the south—west. heavy rain, at that, and temperatures will be held back to between 17 and 24 degrees. but it's going to feel very, very humid. that rain sweeps northwards and eastwards during friday night. and actually, we can expect quite a lot of dry weather as we head through the weekend. this is bbc news, the headlines. the bbc can reveal that three suspected spies for
