The spokeswoman of russias investigative committee, svetlana petrenko, said genetic tests had established the identities of all those on board. Translation as part of the investigation of the plane crash in the tver region, molecular genetic examinations have been completed. According to their results, the identities of all ten dead were established. They correspond to the list stated in the flight sheet. Well, the exact circumstances behind the plane crash remain unclear. Our russia editor Steve Rosenberg has the latest from moscow. We still dont know the cause of the crash. Theres been so much speculation in recent days. Was this a missile attack, a bomb on board . Was this some kind of other sabotage . We dont know. The kremlin has said, this has nothing to do with us, we werent behind this. That denial, though, has not removed the widespread suspicion that mr prigozhin, the wagner chief, was targeted by russian authorities as an act of revenge for the mutiny which he organised back injune, and which was an unprecedented challenge to the kremlin. Interesting, this statement that came out from russian investigators today, a very brief statement, just three sentences. Mr prigozhin was not mentioned by name, but the implication of what was written was pretty clear, that, as far as the russian authorities are concerned, mr prigozhin is dead. Meanwhile, one of ukraines most celebrated fighter pilots, and two other airmen, have been killed in a mid air crash. Captain Andrii Pilshchikov won fame taking part in close range aerial battles over kyiv during the early phase of russias 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. Paul adams reports. Ukraine has lost one of its most famous pilots and one of its most visible. When russia invaded, few gave ukraines air force much chance of getting off the ground. But from Dogfights Over Kyiv to the interception of russian cruise missiles, Andrii Pilshchykov was part of an elite force, fighting against extraordinary odds. The cause of thursdays crash is still not known. Two Training Jets colliding over a village narrowly avoiding a village, narrowly avoiding crashing into houses. A year and a half after the full scale invasion, their status as National Heroes is well established. President zelensky said the death of Andrii Pilshchykov and two of his colleagues was a disaster. Andrii pilshchykov was due to start training on American Made f 16 jets in a few weeks, something he had lobbied hard for since last year. He could be a hero. He could be a motivated veteran. But without the right equipment, he couldnt do anything in modern war. Especially in aerial war. Ukraine wishes it had the jets now, but on the ground, in the south, there are signs that its counter offensive, slow going sincejune, could be about to gather pace. Some units do appear to have broken through russias formidable first line of defences. Translation i dont want my guys to think they can relax now. They know we are moving on to liberate all of our territories. He says hes looking forward to leading his men all the way to the sea, but thats a long way away and this fighting is really hard. Success is still far from guaranteed. Pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. Live now to adam makos, an author of books on aviation and military historian, who knew andrii. Welcome to the programme.

He said, help us reach the western media. That was myjob, connecting him with journalists and helping get the story out. We would be talking, exchanging voice knows and he would say, hang on, got to fly a scramble mission. They were always under the concern that russian missiles would come in at any moment. Juice, when he wasnt fighting, he was trying to raise money and raise awareness of the Ukrainian Air force. find money and raise awareness of the Ukrainian Air force.

He believed anything is possible. He was saying, if you give us the f 16 jets, give us western jets, we can fly them. At the tandem a lot of people saying no, that will take years and he said, you dont know our pilots. Put us in the cockpit, we will master this in weeks. This in weeks.

You didnt stand a fair chance. They were using electronics in these aircraft that were 30 years old. The russians had topline stuff. Even the aircraft thatjuice was flying the day he died, it was a 19605 flying the day he died, it was a 1960s aircraft.

There to grant capability of the f 16 are incredible, they could be so useful right now to suppress russian radar, keep russian fighters had paid, and intent to be hitting these well placed russian troops. We need a breakthrough in ukraine, this is the tool to get it. Breakthrough in ukraine, this is the tool to get it two people have died and nearly 60 have been injured after two explosions at an unlicensed liquefied Petroleum Gas station in romania. Take a look at this. Dozens of those wounded were firefighters whod rushed to the scene after the initial blast in the town of crevedia near bucharest late on saturday. Shortly afterwards, a second explosion, triggered by the massive blaze, created a vast fireball. Some of those injured suffered severe burns. People living nearby were evacuated from their homes. These pictures, filmed by a drone a few hours ago, give you an idea of the Devastation Casued by the explosions. An investigation into what caused the initial blast is under way. In zimbabwe, the countrys Opposition Leader Nelson Chamisa has claimed victory after challenging the results of the election. On saturday, Zimbabwes President Emmerson Mnangagwa said he had won enough votes to secure a second term. Mr chamisas party, Citizens Coalition for change, claims theres been widespread vote rigging, and International Observers say the election has fallen short of democratic standards. We have won this election, we are in the lead. Were even surprised why mr mnangagwa has been declared the leader, because hes not. After the results were announced, president mnangagwa held a Press Conference where he was 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 our great country zimbabwe. I am so happy that the vote was won fairly in broad daylight. Londons metropolitan police say theyre angry and concerned after a suspected data breach at one of the forces it suppliers. Names, ranks, photos and vetting levels of potentially thousands of officers and staff may have been hacked. A spokesperson for the met says the breach has been reported to the National Crime agency. Heres joe inwood. From protecting parliament to policing protests, met officers do some of the most difficult and sensitive jobs in any force. And so the news that some of their data could have been compromised has been met with fury by the police federation, their vice chair saying. And, according to a senior former officer, some will be more vulnerable than others. If you are, for example, an ethnic minority officer with an unusual name, working in counter terrorism, or working undercover, or perhaps working against organised gangs, you potentially could be more easily identified. Now, exactly how this happened is still being established, but the met say there was a data breach at a Third Party Supplier that had access to information like names, photos and security clearance, but not Police Contact information. The force says extra Security Measures have now been put in place. It comes just weeks after a series of data leaks at other forces, including one at the Police Service of Northern Ireland, which saw the details of all staff accidentally published. Those were human error. This seems to be a targeted attack on a third party it company thought to be contracted by the met to make warrant cards. Its similar to the situation british airways, boots, and the bbc found themselves in when their Payroll Provider was hacked. In the event of the hack, clearly theres been weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the system, whoever is managing and maintaining it, if we are indeed going off the outsourcing. So its all good and well protecting the front end, but its got to be the back end as well, the ones who are behind the scenes, if you like, in this instance an it company. The met police say the incident has been reported to the National Crime agency and the information commissioner. There are many Unanswered Questions about this latest attack. Who was behind it . How many officers are affected . And what might the loss of this highly Sensitive Data mean for their security . Joe inwood, bbc news. Jake moore is a Global Cybersecurity advisor at the Software Firm eset, and he gave his reaction to the suspected data breach. Well, i think this is yet another worrying and damaging blunder by the organisation thats designed to protect us. And i think, like weve been discussing, its a supply chain attack, and criminals have simply located that weakest link in that chain, which theyre very good and Getting Better at doing. But police suppliers, they win their contracts and often choose the cheapest, which can potentially come with Security Risks and failures if thats not in the programme to start off with. Right, but would it not be the responsibility of the metropolitan police to check the Security Standards of any third parties . It would be, but sometimes its a race to the finish on these tenders that go out to, say, ten suppliers at once, it will come down to just a few, but often its the cheapest that mightjust get through, and sometimes they have time restraints on how quickly they can do it. And unfortunately, its those issues that allow these mistakes to occur. The next question of course is, whats the motivation of a hacker in using this data . Well, its unclear whether the hackers have demanded a ransom, or whether this was purely a criminal Group Testing the forces security. Like weve seen, a few Police Forces havecome under a few problems recently. That doesnt mean to say its one criminal group thats conducting this, it could just be others just testing that security. But i think what weve really got to take from that is, rather than whats happening, going forward, we need to be setting some sort of review and looking at how we can test and check how this data is stored and handled in the future. But because of the implications of the release of names of police officers, its extremely serious. Yes, its really dangerous. Police officers, most of them, apart from Neighbourhood Police officers, want to remain anonymous, and so they should be. So youd hope their data was protected. But unfortunately, police data is held in multiple locations, particularly in mergers when you merge 2 3 Police Forces together, they can sometimes lose track of where that data is. And its those types of weaknesses that criminals are very good at locating. And once they can exploit that, thats why a data leak like this occurs. Now its time for a look at todays sport with 0llie foster. The World Athletics Championship have drawn to a close, the usa finished well clear at the top of the medal table in budapest, but the netherlnds won the final gold with thrilling finish in the womensby 400 relay. Femke bol who won the individual ttile a few days ago, ran a brilliant anchor leg, to overtake first great britian, thenjamaica right on the line. Its been a dramatic day in the Premier League. Ten man liverpool were heading for defeat at newcastle before darwin nunez came off the bench and scored twice to give them a 2 1win. Anthony gordon had given newcastle a first half lead, and liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk was sent off minutes later, but nunez was brought on in the 77th minute, scored the equaliser in the 81st minute before scoring an almost identical second in stoppage time. An extraordinary turnaround. A tough one to take a bite very similar emotions to this time roughly last year when we lost later to liverpool. Different circumstances but we responded really well to that defeat at that time, that was usually painful, this one is exactly the same. We thought we played really well today up until the sending off. I thought we were magnificent, and then onwards it was a different game. But we still had enough chances to win that match. Manchester city are at the top of the table, the only side with a 100 record, but they also left it late at sheffield united. It was a frustrating afternoon for erling haaland, who missed a penalty late in the first half, but finally put city ahead with a close range header after the break. Sheffield united equalised late on through jayden bogle, which looked like earning them a point. But it wasnt to be, as city scored in the 88th minute, Rodri Lashing the winner into the top corner from about 12 yeards out. 2 1 to city to make it three wins out of three. Aston villa made it back to back wins in the Premier League with a 3 1 victory over burnley at turf moor. Matty cash, who hadnt scored a goal for villa in 15 months, scored the first two for unai emery� s side. Lyle foster gave burnley hope with a goal two minutes after half time, but moussa diaby made sure villa took the points. Vincent kompany� s burnley side have only played twice, but both have been home defeats. Barcelona fought back to secure a 4 3 win at villarreal, with last years la liga top scorer Robert Lewandowski scoring the late winner. Barca took an early two goal lead but the home side recovered and went ahead five minutes after half time. Ferran torres then levelled in the 69th minute with Lewandowski Tapping In from a rebound off the post. 0sasuna are won 2 1 against valencia athletic. Bilbao kick are against real betis. Bundesliga record signing harry kane scored twice for Bayern Munich as they beat augsburg 3 1 to make it two wins out of two matches. It was his First League Game at home. Mainz played out a 1 1 draw with frankfurt. Roberto mancini will be the new coach of the Saudi Arabia National team after he quit the italyjob earlier this month. Mancini has signed a four Year Contract with the gulf state, with an annual salary of 25 million euros, and will be presented to media on monday. Saudi arabia, who beat eventual champions argentina at last years world cup in qatar, have been without a National Team coach since herve renard left to take charge of frances womens team. Red bulls Max Verstappen has equalled the formula 1 record for number of successive race wins. He did it in front of his home fans in a chaotic dutch grand prix. Torrential rain caused mayhem at the zandvoort circuit, but he took the chequered flag to make it nine in a row, a feat last achieved by sebastian vettel� s record ten years ago. The World Champion is now 138 points clear in the standings and seemingly uncatchable with nine races left in the season. Fernando alonso, for aston martin, took second, with alpines pierre gasly completing the podium. And thats all the sport for now. All the news from the World Athletics Championships on the website or app. Some Breaking News from liverpool, where Police Say Two people have died after becoming trapped in their car when a road flooded. It happened shortly after 9pm on saturday evening at queens drive in the mossley hill area. Police have issued a statement saying that the couple had driven their mercedes into a flooded area, and although they assisted the fire and rescue services, the pair were declared dead at hospital. They say that the next of kin of the man and woman have now been informed and formal identification has been made. They are appealing for witnesses to what they are describing as an accident and say that Road Closures remain in place in the area as the investigation is under way. We also have a request from police here, it refers to an incident about 5 15pm on sunday afternoon. It is after a football match took place and the Aston Villa Team bus, as it travelled along the motorway at junction ten of the m 65, a brick was thrown at it from a footbridge. Junction ten of the m 65, the light Colour Street Lancashire Police are asking for anyone with any information to get in touch on that incident. A State Of Emergency has been declared in 33 florida counties as Weather Forecasters warn of a number of extreme weather events happening around the world. In the last hour, Florida Governor ron desantis warned that Tropical Storm idalia could cause a life threatening storm surge and flooding from heavy rains as early as tuesday. 0ur Emergency Operations centre will go to a level one, 24 hour around the clock, starting at 0700 tomorrow. Please listen to your local officials. If you look at this big bend region, the models are probably more in agreement than when we had ian last year, but these things can shift. There is still some uncertainty out there, so please just heed the warnings of your local officials, continue to watch the news. If you are in the path of this storm, you should expect power outages, so please prepare for that. There are three potentially headline making weather events expected in the coming days. I asked our weather presenter chris fawkes to explain what we can expect, and where. We have been looking at this band of thunderstorms, at the moment between cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula of mexico. This has been upgraded and named as a Tropical Storm. What will happen is Tropical Storm idalia will continue to push northwards. There could be some flooding around cuba and the yucatan region of mexico over the next day or so, but as the system works over the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, it strengthens into a hurricane, making landfall across florida on wednesday. The main bit of uncertainty is how quick the wind gets because the waters in the seas before it makes landfall are particularly hot, you could see rapid intensification. In europe, this area of cloud has been bringing severe thunderstorms to the balearic islands. Over the next 24 hours, looking at torrential rain working across northern italy, 200 millimetres, a risk of flash flooding. Some strong winds, 120 kilometres per hour gusts into the mediterranean, and could even see some waterspouts and tornadoes, so Severe Weather. In asia, looking at typhoon saola, near this island of the philippines, bringing flooding rain. Could make landfall in South East China in the coming days, but to the north of this we have another zone of Severe Weather heading into the north east of china and north korea. We could be looking at 200 millimetres of rain, again talking about the risk of some flash flooding. Lots of Severe Weather in different parts of the world at the moment. It is concerning. But some of it is very typical for this time of year. Yes, if you look at the atlantic hurricane season, the other peak season were heading towards, there is no surprise that we see activity at this time of year. That activity is fed by the warm sea temperatures. At the moment, temperatures in the gulf of mexico, where Tropical Storm idalia is going, are well above average, warmer than normal, heat in the ocean powering these weather systems. That is one of the things were watching for. It could rapidly intensifyjust before it makes landfall. The Notting Hill Carnival is under way, more relaxed than monday, the carnival is europes biggest street party, 2 Million People expected to join in to celebrate Caribbean Culture in the uk. Stay with us on bbc news. Hello there. Part two of the weekend is looking pretty similar to how it was yesterday sunshine and showers, but i dont 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 weve 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 22 celsius 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 well 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 its 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 celsius, its the high teens further north, and winds will be light, as well. As we move out on monday into tuesday, things change again. The low pressure starts to push into the north of the uk. Thatll 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 celsius. 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, yevgeny prigozhin, is dead after being involved in a plane crash. The kremlin has denied ordering the assassination of mr prigozhin, who was a former close aide of president putin.
