amid growing tension with commanders over the war in ukraine. he had since relocated to belarus. here's our russia editor steve rosenberg on whether today's announcement draws a line under the prigozhin affair. this is the closest, perhaps, we'll get to an official confirmation that yevgeny prigozhin is dead. this is all coming from an official russian body, russia's investigative committee, which said that genetic testing of all the bodies recovered from the crash site has been completed and claims that the identities of all ten victims matches the names on the flight manifest. and of course, that list of passengers and crew on the embraer plane that crashed included the head of wagner, yevgeny prigozhin, and his right hand man, dmitry utkin. i don't think... there are people who believe in conspiracy theorists who believe that perhaps somehow mr prigozhin got away. today's news will not change their minds. as for the cause of the crash, we're none the wiser. lots of possible theories being put out there. was it a bomb? was it sabotage? was it a missile? the kremlin has denied being behind the crash, denied any responsibility. but that denial, you have to say, has not dispersed the suspicion, the widespread suspicion that mr prigozhin was targeted by the russian authorities as an act of revenge for the mutiny that he organised two months ago with his wagner fighters. live now to sergey radchenko — professor at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies, and an expert sergey, you spoke to us last on thursday when we were all first learning details of what had happened to mr prigozhin�*s plane, just a few days later now and we have of this official confirmation of his death? we do and it seems the kremlin is trying to bring the story to a close. a signal has been sent, prigozhin has been done away with. the next we will hear about him will probably be the burial, the funeral of the former wagner leader. now the question is what happens to the organisation itself.— question is what happens to the organisation itself. before we go on to that, what _ organisation itself. before we go on to that, what do _ organisation itself. before we go on to that, what do you _ organisation itself. before we go on to that, what do you think - organisation itself. before we go on to that, what do you think about. organisation itself. before we go on | to that, what do you think about the confirmation by the russian authorities in terms of whether that is something that can be trusted? speculations will continue. prigozhin was a remarkable individual, very brutal and cynical who seems to have cheated death a number of occasions and like a cat has many lives. but i think he probably ran out as steve just said and staycation will continue given his way of disguising himself etc, etc. but a conspiracy theory will live on. �* . , . ., live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in — live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in terms _ live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in terms of _ live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in terms of how— live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in terms of how he - live on. and what might we expect of the funeral in terms of how he is - the funeral in terms of how he is marked, how has passing is marked given that president putin said not long ago that he sent his condolences to prigozhin�*s family but of course this is two months on from when prigozhin led an attempted mutiny?

putin benefited from wagner being apart from the state, doing its own dirty business in africa but now the head of wagner has been done away with, presumably someone from the state will have to take over wagner, at least how i see things.— will have to take over wagner, at least how i see things. thank you for that. one of ukraine's most celebrated fighter pilots, and two other airmen, have been killed in a mid—air crash. captain andrii pilshchykov won fame taking part in close range aerial battles over kyiv during the early phase of russia's invasion, flying under the call—sign "juice." the three pilots were killed when two l—39 combat training aircraft collided over a region west of kyiv. the ukrainian military called the deaths "painful and irreparable" losses. and the military paid tribute to him as a young officer with "mega knowledge and mega talent". in an address, president volodymyr zelensky acknowledged how much pilshchykov had done for the country. translation: an investigation is being carried out _ into what happened, and of course, all circumstances will be clarified. ukraine will never forget everyone who defended the free skies of our country. the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, has more from kyiv. he was one of the most visible, best known pilots. part of a small band who played, as you said in that introduction, a key role in the beginning of the war, but also, later on, another equally important role, that of intercepting russian ballistic missiles. the other thing about him, and you heard itjust at the end of his clip there, was that he was looking forward to being one of those pilots who could sit in the cockpit of an american—made f—16 and use that to give the ukrainians a bit more of an edge in the skies. well, as we now know and as this week has shown, that f—16 coalition, as it's dubbed here, now includes promises from holland, from denmark and norway. and also this week announced the americans are going to start training f—16 pilots, ukrainian f—16 pilots. so that is a process that is gathering momentum. unfortunately for ukraine, juice will not be among the pilots able to take advantage of that. and it's not going to be really until next year that we're going to see f—16s introduced in some form as this conflict drags on. london's metropolitan police is investigating a possible data breach after "unauthorised access" was gained to the systems of one of its suppliers. the force said the company held names, ranks, photos, vetting levels, and pay numbers for officers and staff, and that it was working to understand what data, if any, had been accessed. the national crime agency and the information commissioner's office have been informed. with me now is our correspondent, joe inwood. joe, what more do we know about this?

could have been hit here, we don't have that because the met police haven't told us. but there are specific security implications. i was speaking to a senior officer who said the real concern, a major concern is if you have got clearance level, clearance level tells you what offices are dealing with the most sensitive thing. if you combine that with name data, specifically with less common names which will often be from minority ethnic backgrounds, you can combine those two identify people working undercover, in counterterrorism operations etc. and then sensitive areas could be compromised. that's one of the big fears. ., ~ compromised. that's one of the big fears. . ~ , ., zimbabwe's president, emmerson mnangagwa, has been re—elected to serve a second term with just over half of the total vote. the opposition claims there's been widespread vote—rigging, and international observers say the vote has fallen short of democratic standards. mr mnangagwa faces many challenges. zimbabwe still faces high inflation, currently running at an annual rate of over 70%, as well as poverty. the electoral commission say his main challenger, nelson chamisa, secured 44% of the vote. president emmerson mnangagwa held a press conference a little while ago, where he was also asked about concerns over the integrity of the vote. the elections have come and gone. i am humbled by the trust and confidence that you, my fellow countrymen and women, have imposed on me once again to stand as president of your great country zimbabwe. i am so happy that the vote was won fairly in broad daylight. three us marines have been killed and 20 others injured after a military helicopter crashed during exercises in australia. their aircraft crashed in the northern territory capital darwin. the incident is the second fatal military helicopter crash in the area in less than a month. the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, said what had happened was a "tragedy". the initial reports suggest that the incident involves just us defence force personnel, that there are no members of the australian defence force involved in this incident. our focus as a government and as a department of defence is very much on incident response and on making sure that every support and assistance is given at this difficult time. the main uk opposition parties, labour and the liberal democrats, both say they are confident that they can win nadine dorries' mid bedforshire seat in a by—election. the conservative former culture secretary handed in her resignation on saturday with an blistering attack on rishi sunak telling the prime minister "history will notjudge you kindly". our political correspondent, helen catt reports. more than two months after she said she'd resign with immediate effect, nadine dorries has now started the process of formally quitting as an mp, but she's not going quietly. i'm actually shocked... in an interview with the mail on sunday, she launched a scathing attack on the prime minister. no one has voted for him to be in thatjob — nobody. and he immediately abandoned the manifesto that the british people in 2019 went out and voted for. they went out and they voted for borisjohnson and they voted for our manifesto. both have gone, three short years, both have gone. the paper also printed the stinging letter she sent to rishi sunak in which, amongst other things, she told him... she's entitled to that view, but, you know, i think people are kind of tired of raking over the coals of boris johnson's government. we need to get on and govern this country properly and make people feel that progress before the next election. but first, there will be a by—election in mid bedfordshire to replace her, at a date yet to be set. campaigning began weeks ago. voters here re—elected nadine dorries in 2019 with a big majority. she won by nearly 25,000 votes. but opposition parties believe they have an opportunity to take it. injuly, labour overturned a similarly large tory majority in selby and ainsty. there is everything to play forfor labour in mid bedfordshire. certainly we've received a very warm response. i have when i've been out on the streets there as well. the lib dems argue they are best placed after explosive wins in places like somerton and frome. this is a seat, a rural blue wall seat, the sort of seats that liberal democrats have been winning. and if you look at recent by—elections in this type of seat, we have won from third place. the tories, though, held on in borisjohnson's former seat of uxbridge and south ruislip last month. they will be hoping they can do that again in the constituency of one of his closest allies. the exit of mid bedforshire's mp has been dramatic and noisy. choosing her replacement might be no more peaceful. helen catt, bbc news. three people are dead in the us state of florida — in what authorities are calling a racially motivated mass shooting. the attack took place in the city of jacksonville at a dollar general store. the city's sheriff says the suspected attacker was a white male in his 20s, who turned the gun on himself. he killed two women and one man — who were all black — with no other injuries reported. the shooter was carrying a handgun, and an ar—is style rifle, while wearing a mask and tactical vest. the sheriff says it's believed the gunman acted alone with no evidence he was part of a wider group. now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin. hello from the bbc sport centre. the day's football in a moment — but first — there's more pressure on the spanish football federation. an internal investigation has been launched, over the now suspended president luis rubiales — following the kiss on forward jenni hermoso after spain's womens world cup win. the federation's sexual violence protocol was activated, after a complaint was submitted — which means an investigation is triggered, to send findings to the sexual violence advisory committee. hermoso has said the kiss after last sunday's game was not consensual. on saturday, the federataion threatened legal action against hermoso and despite widespread criticism to resign, and his suspension by fifa, rubiales has vowed to fight till the end. two matches underway in the english premier league — with a big clash to come... champions manchester city, are looking to make it three wins from three, against sheffield united. currently goalless from bramall lane there... aston villa, also hoping to build on their return to early season form. they're playing burnley it is currently you i—o. and later, the game of the day sees potential title challengers liverpool and newcastle go head to head at st james park. and liverpool boss jurgen klopp's been impressed with the rise of their opponents. super development under eddie howe, i have to say. smart business. you don't want to miss anybody, but really good business. super intense style, massive atmosphere there. so this is a tough one. the first of the final eight gold medals of the world athletics championships in budapest has gone to uganda's victor kiplangat in the men's marathon. they were off early to avoid the worst of the heat in the hungarian capital. and kiplangat surged away in the final few miles to win in two hours, eight minutes and 53 seconds. sunday is the last day of the championships. it's a happy moment for me that i've become a world champion today. i've been preparing for a while and i've gone back with a gold medalfor uganda. germany have made it two wins from two at the fiba basketball world cup after a narrow victory over australia. nba veteran patty mills single—handedly kept the boomers in the contest in the opening quarter as he scored his team's first 13 points on his way to 21 overall. but he was outshone by another nba player in the shape of the toronto raptors' dennis schroder, who led all scorers with 30 points to go with eight assists. australia refused to go away though — josh giddy tying things up with two minutes to go in the fourth. but with the game in the balance, maodo lo's lay up with just seconds remaining was enough to secure the win for germany. the dominican republic also made it two world cup wins from two. karl—anthony towns of the minnesota timberwolves led the way for his country with 24 points and 10 rebounds. team—mate feliz andres also scored 24 points as they condemned italy to their first loss. there was also a record—breaking performance by canada as they thrashed lebanon 128—73 in jakarta. the candians dished out 43 assists — the most in a world cup game since records began in 1994 — breaking their previous record of 37 set five years ago. nine canada players scored double figures in the victory. and the formula one is under way, the dutch grand prix, with attention on max verstappen, on his home circuit as he attempts to level a record today. all the latest from there on the bbc sport website... that's all the sport for now. throughout the past month, we've been reporting from the largest arts festival in the world, the edinburgh festival fringe, but it's not the only festival taking place in the city.

long and happy life is "moderation" in all things, as he turns 111 years old. john tinniswood — who was born in 1912 — was presented with a birthday card from the king and queen, stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. part two of the weekend is looking pretty similar to how it was yesterday. sunshine and showers, but i don't think the showers will be quite as heavy or certainly not quite as widespread as what we had yesterday. but again, eastern parts of the uk will see some of the heaviest of the thunderstorms and showers today, whereas further west, we've got this weather from bringing light and patchy rain we've got this weather front bringing light and patchy rain to northern ireland, in between some good spells of sunshine. so for the rest of the day it will stay rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, skies brightening up from the west later. western scotland, western parts of britain, seeing some sunshine. most of the heavy showers will be affecting eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. again, some torrential downpours in a few places. and top temperatures 21 or 22 degrees here. high teens further north and west. so for the reading and leeds festival today, i think the better chance of staying dry will be across reading. for the leeds festival, i think you could pick up a few showers, which could be on the heavy side. same too for notting hill carnival. i think today is a greater risk of seeing showers, and what we'll see tomorrow, i think it could stay largely dry with good sunny spells. now, as we move through this evening, overnight, the showers mostly fade away. that weather front, a weakening feature spreads across central and eastern england. just a band of patchy cloud on it. and it will be quite a cool night to come again, particularly out of town under those clear skies, single digits likely for many of us. now for monday, and of course, monday is a bank holiday. for most of us, it's looking like being a fairly good day, i think. quite a bit of sunshine around into the afternoon. the shower clouds may bubble up. you could see the odd light shower here and there, but most places should stay dry. and top temperatures, 21 degrees. it's the high teens further north and winds will be light as well. as we move out of monday into tuesday, things change again. the low pressure starts to push into the north of the uk. it's going to bring stronger winds, blustery showers, certainly to scotland. some of these showers could be quite heavy. elsewhere, some good sunny spells. but this weather front will be spreading across england and wales, bringing a band of showers, but it will become confined to southern and eastern areas by the end of the day with quite a bit of sunshine, i think, developing behind it. top temperatures around 22 degrees. cooler than that, though, further north where it will be quite blustery. wednesday, at this stage, not too bad, thanks to a ridge of high pressure, but then it turns more unsettled for thursday and friday. could be quite wet in places, particularly across england and wales. this is bbc news. the headlines: russian officials say wagner mercenary boss,
