These kittens are currently being homed at whittle Animal Sanctuary in worcestershire, but its not the best of times. Theyre struggling financially and if things dont improve, this could be their final year. Its probably a combination of the Rising Energy costs, rising vet bills, and the general Cost Of Living crisis everyone is faced with at the moment. Roughly, were losing around 20,000 each month, which is the more months that go on, the harder its hitting us. The sanctuary has been here for more than 50 years and teacake here is one of 70 animals being cared for. But staff say at the moment theyre having to stop taking in new animals. Its quite heartbreaking, really. I mean, obviously, were fending off a lot of phone calls. We get on average about 20 phone calls a day asking for people, asking to surrender animals, reference cats, dogs, rabbits. A very, very difficult time to be in this situation.

The British Museum in london has sacked a member of staff after treasures were reported missing, stolen or damaged. Items including gold, jewellery and gems of semi precious stones were among those found to be missing, stolen or damaged. British Museum Director Hartwig Fischer said the organisation had brought an end to this. The Economic Crime command of the Metropolitan Police are investigating. Our Correspondent Robin Brant is at the museum. What are policing at this point . Police are saying there have been no arrest but somewhere inside this building which has been in the heart of london or 270 years, a globally renowned institution, somewhere inside is a crime scene. We heard from Thejewish Museum about two hours ago something they learned of earlier in the year and have been investigating. They went public with facts earlier tonight that there been items missing, stolen and damage and a member of the staff has been dismissed. What is missing . Small pieces kept inside a Store Ream Storeroom not been shown to members of the public. Gems of semiprecious stones and date back to the 78th century bc and some to the ninth century ad, some of these items could be as old as 3500 euros. George osborne who is chair of the British Museum said the prior tours are up to find the missing goods and make sure it doesnt happen again and describe it as a bad day for those who love the British Museum. What is clear tonight is not how much is clear. They dont have a full inventory of what is missing and how long it is going for and cannot place a value on some missing itunes.

Its a prominent, world renowned institution, with numerous items inside that are priceless. The truth is that they are now investigating with the help of London Metropolitan police, what the fear is an inside job where items have gone missing from the collection and they dont know where they are and need to recover them. The British Museum explain in their review this statement that there has been an internal review of their security which has been tightened and they hope for the dismissal of the staff member there put an end to it. Its a man must toss to try and find these items and return them but that will take a long time. Will take a long time. Thank you for that undate back to the breaking news story on donald trump, the Fulton County District Attorney fani willis has proposed a trial commencement date of march four and we have news on when the former president would be arraigned in court.

Donald trump will be arraigned between tuesday, september five and friday, september eight and fani willis has proposed a march four trial date and we will have to see how that compares to the other trials the former president is facing. We would bring you more updates when it comes to us. The leaders of a Global Wildlife trafficking gang have been convicted after a four year investigation and a trial in nigeria. Theyve pleaded guilty to smuggling the scales of african pangolins, which conservationists say are being hunted to extinction. Described as Top Of The Pyramid of traffickers, they were responsible for half of the illegal trade in Pangolin Scales. Steve swann talks to one of the people who went undercover to bring down the network in this exclusive report. An African Wildlife trafficker with something to sell. On a video call, he shows sacks full of Pangolin Scales. He doesnt realize it, but the woman hes calling isnt a buyer. Shes an undercover investigator. Within days, this compound in nigeria is raided. Its the Third Largest seizure of Pangolin Scales by the Nigeria Customs Authorities in the past three years. Tons of Pangolin Scales and Elephant Ivory were seized. Now the leaders of a major global trafficking gang have been convicted of wildlife crime. Outwitted by fake buyers and sting operations, a four year Global Investigation Run by a Small Charity in the netherlands. We meet the young woman who went undercover to help bring the network down. Van, not her real name, doesnt want to be identified. I mean, you met these people physically. Were you afraid . I was nervous for about 20 seconds. But then after that, i thought, i can do this. I love animals, and wildlife is my passion. The animals mean nothing to them. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world. Here, a South African Police raid finds one, but it doesnt survive. Its estimated a million pangolins have been killed by traffickers in the last decade. Their meats eaten in africa. Their scales used in Traditional Medicine in china. Investigators were given a rare opportunity to disrupt the illegal Wildlife Trade during the coronavirus pandemic. Thats because shipments slowed down in the lockdown and west african traffickers whod usually stay hidden turned to social media to look for clients. And that made them and their customers vulnerable. Here you can see them offering Elephant Ivory for sale, and those are Pangolin Scales. Im just having a look at the names that shes pulled off as potential targets. A massive intelligence operation helped identify buyers based in vietnam. They were put under surveillance and followed to africa when they travelled to buy more Pangolin Scales. In these video calls, the traffickers incriminate themselves. Soon after this video was recorded, the men were arrested. Now theyve pleaded guilty to smuggling and trading in Pangolin Scales and Elephant Ivory. Finally, after years of feeling untouchable because of corruption and lack of police resources, the Wildlife Traffickers are under pressure. Although the leader of this west African Network is still at large. Steve swann, bbc news. Im joined now by roddy hamblin, the chief Operations Officer of the David Shepherd wildlife foundation.

But it shouldnt be understood estimated that getting these people at the top of the syndicate is fantastic. Rarely do you see the people of this status convicted. Lots of disruption in the industry but thats what make this exciting. In source countries in west and Central Africa such as where this case happened, sadly corruption in a governmental departments, in Crime Organisations or organisations that fight crime is endemic within the system so disruption happens with seizures rsb made but getting people convicted or taken out has proven difficult in this instance.

The best of the Sunshine Today was across southern counties of northern ireland, england and wales. Blue sky, Sunflower Fields In Norfolk and a lot more sunshine, pleasantly warm in all of that with just a light breeze in pembrokeshire in wales. Now it will turn warmer across the board as we head through the rest of the week, some more sunny spells. It will start to feel more humid, particularly by night, but it wont be completely dry. It will turn wet and windy through the day on friday. More on that in just a moment. But overnight tonight then, its relatively mild out there. Some long, clear spells will see some areas of mist and low clouds developing, particularly for central and eastern areas of england. Where we see that mist and low cloud, it will lift and clear readily through the morning, burnt back by wall of the sunshine. And were drawing in more of a south easterly wind through the day on thursday. Thats going to drag in this warmer, Muggy Feeling Air from the near continent. So temperatures will rise across the board up to the low to the mid 20s in celsius. We may even see the days highest temperatures out towards Western Areas of wales. Few showers out towards the west, generally dry, cooler towards north sea facing coasts. And then on thursday night its going to be mild and muggy. We look out towards the atlantic, an area of low pressure will send these Weather Fronts spinning our way through the day on friday. Bands of possibly quite heavy thundery rain at times. Theyll merge together to form what will feel like longer spells of rain. It will be particularly windy towards the North West Wales coast as well. Underneath all of that cloud and the rain youd expect it to be cold, but its going to be warm and muggy feeling. Dry and cooler with some sunshine across much of scotland. Temperatures here in the high teens in celsius. But of course, the rain eventually arrives here on friday night. A very mild, muggy night to follow. Temperatures no lower than 18 or 19 degrees celsius potentially in south east england. On saturday, though, some fresher feeling air, it is still warm. The rain clears the north of scotland through the morning. A few showers following on behind, but lots of dry weather, too. Some sunshine temperatures peaking generally in the low to the mid 20s, once more in celsius and its looking very similar on sunday. Heres the outlook for our Capital Cities as we head through the weekend and into the start of next week towards the north and the west, temperatures will still rise into the low 20s, but its cooler, more showery here. Drier and warmer towards the south and the east. Bye bye. Hello, im sumi somaskanda. Youre watching the context on bbc news. The plan that i put in place is working, but we are not there yet. We are not there yet but the plan is working, trust me, and i will be able to get inflation down for all of you. Inflation has been at record levels and people are paying significantly for their daily living costs, and whilst the Inflation Rate might have slowed down, it still means that the Cost Of Living is going up, but at a slower rate. The cost of milk has gone down, i thats gone down and weve noticed that in the shellfish point, but these things that are made from milk, they havent gone down, theyve gone up. The biggest concern for us is high interest rates, whether that will actually slow down general industry, and general approach to investments. Official figures show the rate of inflation in the uk has fallen to its lowest level in 15 months. But high food prices and rents mean Cost Of Living pressures are not going away anytime soon. On our panel tonight ill be joined by jack blanchard, uk editor for politico, and amanda renteria, former Campaign Director for hillary clinton. Also on the programme. England Beats Australia to book a place in the womens World Cup Final against spain on sunday. We will look at what the rise of the womens game means for young girls around the world.
