virtual emmy awards. leaked documents have revealed how some of the uk's best known banks have allowed criminals, money launderers, and sanctioned russians to move dirty money around the world. the secret banking reports also show how major banks have failed to stop crime when they suspect it. they show that london is a hub for money laundering with billions of dollars of suspected dirty money moving through the financial system. the documents, known as the ‘fincen files‘, were leaked to buzzfeed news and shared with the bbc by the international consortium of investigativejournalists. richard bilton reports. most of his body was submerged under water. the files show the reality of fraud. it can be a messy business. he was bound. he had coverings over his face. you knew that he was deceased. raymond pacheco‘s body was found in a vineyard, and this is the dream that cost him his life. world capital market is managed by a team of experts... he was taken in by a scam. to make money, he needed to recruit other investors. when they lost money, he was murdered. ..asia and europe... he was a victim in a scheme. he was a victim in a homicide. just a true, true victim. thousands lost money in the scam. the fraudsters stole $80 million. we've discovered that britain's biggest bank helped them get away with it. hsbc allowed the fraudsters to move the stolen cash around the world, even after the bank had been told it was a scam. the us part of the bank said it was unable to locate any accounts with the information stated on the subpoena. what hsbc didn't tell the regulator is that those accounts were in another country. the bank then carried on moving more than $30 million of stolen cash from the uk and us to the fraudsters' hsbc accounts in hong kong. so they had the information. they sat on it. that's when they were just as guilty as the fraudsters in perpetuating the scheme. they knew about it and did nothing about it. hsbc didn't comment on the fraud case, but said it has been on a multi—yearjourney to overhaul its ability to combat financial crime. but the files show the secret story is that banks often don't stop crime and suspect behaviour. the leak is of suspicious activity reports — what banks have to tell the authorities if they think their clients may be up to no good. these documents contain some of the banking system's most closely guarded secrets — the suspicions big banks have about their wealthiest clients. and they show how the system has failed to stop criminals from laundering their cash. because banks have to send the reports, but they don't always act on them. this is an unprecedented and remarkable leak that tells us, as never before, what the banks know about suspicious money movements. there's never been a leak like it before. the secret reports show the way banks have really been behaving, placing the uk at the heart of global money—laundering. richard bilton, bbc news. uk finance, a trade association for british banking, has given us this statement. how did you verify the documents? element among our partners, ——. documents? element among our partners, --. -- we looked far and wide for people who could verify these and give us some invite doppler insight about what is happening inside the west's biggest bank. what have you done to follow—up on the information? we interviewed hundreds of people. we received thousands of other government records inside bank records. we have made multiple freedom of information requests, we went to court in a number of cases do unearth or unseal some documents that tanks the governments would like to keep secret. this was a wide effort among 400 journalists around the world. we saw in that extra ct, the world. we saw in that extract, the report for the bbc. but what is your own conclusion from the reporting you have done? well, the banks are allowing companies to facilitate terror, money laundering and other financial crimes, with the full view of the americanjustice crimes, with the full view of the american justice system, the american justice system, the american justice system, the american treasury department. what have banks been telling you when you go and talk to them about how they plan to address the concerns that you clearly have been waiting for some time? they won't address them specifically because of the nature of these documents. they are not supposed to be seen by anyone in public that they have shied away from that but they do tell us away from that but they do tell us that they have spent and they do spend billions and billions of dollars every year trying to tackle this sort of dark economy, this system of dirty money that swells around the world. what kind of impact do you think this story may have on the financial industry? well, we'll see. right? we're not done yet, that is all i can say for now. stories like this generally have an impact on the public and it is our hope that we can, it is shed light on something that not many people recognise. thank you so much. the uk health secretary, matt hancock, has warned of a tipping point in the fight against coronavirus. he said that british people have a choice: either everybody follows the rules or further measures will be needed. but he told the bbc the government did not want to see a second national lockdown. on monday, boris johnson's key medical and scientific advisers will deliver a televised briefing on the threat posed by current cases and projections. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. when it comes to complying with rules and restrictions, the government says we're more lax than some of our continental counterparts. so, as coronavirus cases increase, expect to hear tougher messages on enforcement. the health secretary says we're at tipping point. if everybody follows the rules, then we can avoid further national lockdowns. but we of course have to be prepared to take action if that's what's necessary. so we might be facing a further national lockdown if people don't obey the rules? that's exactly right. i don't rule it out, i don't want to see it. in just over a week from now in england, if you don't self—isolate when you should, you could face an initial fine of £1,000, and up to £10,000. the health secretary says we should tell the police if we see rule—breakers, but in london, not everyone will take that advice. that whole thing of telling on your neighbour, i think breaking up community is the last thing that should be encouraged. if there's a hefty fine in place or something like that, people would maybe toe the line a bit better. the chief medical officer, on his way to number ten today. he and the government's scientific advisers have been pushing for swift action to slow the virus's spread. the prime minister has been in top—level meetings to discuss his options. but he's also under pressure from his next—door neighbour the chancellor, who doesn't want to see a fragile economic recovery killed off. so it is likely that we will see new temporary measures across england, but that these will also fall far short of a full national lockdown. while schools and workplaces are likely to remain open, some of the restrictions imposed in local lockdowns seem set to spread across england. at the 212 cafe & bar in leeds, there's no enthusiasm for a possible curfew. put a ten o'clock curfew, most bars will probably decide not to open back up cos trade won't be worth it for the late night venues. but also, it could work in a different way where all the students, all the people go out through the day, the bars make the same amount of money, but obviously it'lljust cause trouble through the day, rather than the night. labour say they'll support whatever new steps the government takes, but... if i was the prime minister, i would apologise for the fact that we're in this situation with testing. throughout the summer we were saying, prepare for the autumn. instead, we had the exams fiasco. i would make fixing testing the number one priority and reinstate the daily press conferences, so we all know what's going on. this is borisjohnson's key adviser dominic cummings, leaving downing street tonight after a long series of meetings. he and his boss's conclusion? we're all going to have to do better at following the rules, if we're to bring coronavirus under control. iain watson, bbc news. the battle over a new us supreme court justice — democrat, joe biden says he should name ruth bader ginsburg's replacement, if he beats donald trump in november. , the democratic nominee for president, joe biden, ——the democratic nominee for president, joe biden, has lashed out at president trump's decision to replace the late supreme courtjustice, ruth bader ginsburg before november's election. former vice president biden appealed directly to senate republicans, to respect her dying wish for the next president to select her replacement, not, as he put it, to rush to "jam a lifetime appointment through". look, i'm not being naive. i'm not speaking to donald trump to do whatever he wants, i'm not speaking to mitch mcconnell to do whatever he wants but i'm speaking to those republicans out there, senate republicans, who know deep down what is right for the country and consistent with the constitution, as i stand here in the constitution centre. not just what is best for their party. joining me now is rebecca klar reporterfor the hill in washington. i don't know if you heard the former vice president's remarks level. he said he was speaking to senate republicans. who are they and will they listen?“ all 47 numbers of the senate make democratic course as opposed trump's nominee and mitch mcconnell holds a vote on it, they will need at least four senate republicans to join them. so far only two republican senators have said that they don't think the senate shouldn't hold a vote but they are going to need to convince at least two more and at already convince at least two more and already patfull is decreasing. people are saying they are on mcconnell‘s side and that the senate should hold the vote soon. there are a lot of republicans who will be closely watched. mitt romney will be closely watched because he is one of president trump's vista st critics are wrong senate republicans. —— fiercest critics. corey gardner is also facing one of the toughest re— election campaigns in colorado and is yet to say either way. as well as another senator who said he did would do something in the abstract in 2020 which he did in 2016 which was blocked nominee and off that he is yet to say if that still holds true sense justice ginsburg has died. you have given us three names to watch. let us look at the democratic minority leader chuck schumer who in the last hour also has if the democrats win the senate majority and take office in january next year following a trumpet appointment to the court, everything is on the table. —— trump. what you think he means by that? think the democrats are going to try to push back with everything that they can do, especially if they can hold off until after the election and after the new lawmakers are inaugurated, whether that means a democratic senate majority and whoever is president and i think other people will be seeing to see if democrats can negotiate to hold off on this vote in terms of the government funding bill so i think that will all be closely watched. thanks so much. thousands of anti—government protesters have held as much in jerusalem. they are demanding the premise to's resolution —— —— protests have been held for a week. swapping red carpets for sofas. we bring you the latest from this week's virtual emmy award ceremony. ben johnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. all the athletes should be clean going into the games. i'm just happy that justice is served. it is a simple fact that this morning, these people were in their homes. tonight, those homes have been burnt down by serbian soldiers and police. all the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. it's no use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world, and so the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: leaked documents reveal how some uk banks have allowed criminals and money launderers to move billions of pounds around the world. the government in london says the country is at a tipping point, and warns restrictions could be tightened as thousands more cases are recorded. ajudge in california has halted the trum administration's attempt to ban downloads of the chinese—owned app, wechat. the us department of commerce had wanted to force apple and alphabet‘s google, to remove wechat for downloads by sunday evening. the white house says wechat and tiktok, which is also chinese owned, threaten national security. both companies strongly deny this. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, explains what's behind this row between the us and china. a cold war is under way between the world's leading two superpowers, though it's been little noticed by voters dealing with a global pandemic. what started as a battle over trade escalated into threats over the exchange rate for the yuan and it's now a major conflict. as ever in battles between ideologically conflicting superpowers, america and china are vying for technological supremacy. two companies illustrate that battle — huawei, with its dominance of 5g, and tiktok, a young entertainment platform already boasting over 800 million users. # come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga. # i know you can't control yourself any longer. tiktok is owned by bytedance, now with $100 billion. its founder, zhang yiming, has pledged deep cooperation with the chinese communist party. that's why politicians of all stripes in america see tiktok, like huawei, as a national security threat, giving china access to the precious data and attention of american citizens. president trump's demand that it be sold to a non—chinese company and that the us treasury get a cut, might be illegal. it's unprecedented in the us, but such assertions of sovereignty are already standard practice in china, where platforms like youtube and whatsapp are blocked, along with foreign sources of news and religious instruction, and where the web is a tool of surveillance. in a sense, then, president trump is merely borrowing from china's playbook. and these new methods of control go further than just the us and china. in india, for example, narendra modi's government has banned tiktok and other chinese—owned mobile apps. and other states have used various social media controls, monitoring and censorship. tiktok, then, isn'tjust a platform for video pranks. it proves that there is a battle for the soul of the internet in an era of rising net nationalism, where governments say that countries and not companies should control the web. with almost half of humanity not yet online, how and if this big digital chill spreads could shape the 21st century. tv stars around the globe are preparing to dial in to this year's emmy awards, which will kick off as a virtual ceremony in around one hour's time. this year's nominations are led by hbo's superhero series watchmen and also drama succession. jeremy irons and brian cox are both up for best actor in a limited series and drama series respectively withjennifer aniston and laura linney battling it out for lead actress in a drama series. peter bowes in los angeles. an awards ceremony, peter in a pandemic, how on earth are they doing this? well, they are doing this? well, they are doing it like pretty much everything these days. they are doing it with a virtual ceremony. they are doing it remotely. jimmy kimmel, the host, its pretty much alone apart from a view crewmembers ina apart from a view crewmembers in a staple centre in downtown los angeles. the neighbour sporting arena, deliberately because it is so big and social distancing is easy. he opened the show by saying welcome to the show by saying welcome to the pan emmys, the pre— much sums it up. he said there's nothing quite like this and he is seriously questioning why we should have an award show as i like this. he said it is not going to stop covid, not going to put out the wildfires that we are suffering here in california. he said, we need to have fun. and i think that really will be the tone of the night. they don't expect everything to go well. we have a ready seen the giant zoom screen with some of the nominees at home. some of them we re nominees at home. some of them were blank. maybe they were having technical problems but honestly we live in an area where it doesn't really matter does it. so the nominees are sitting at home on their sofas. how will it be — how will they give their thank? making their agents and so on, however going to get the trophies? yes, that is the intriguing point. what they are doing with summer and maybe a little suspicion that perhaps some people behind the scenes know who is going to win because in some cases, apparently, there will be someone waiting outside the house to give them the trophy stop they were quite literally knock on the door, walking and present the trophy. 0thers knock on the door, walking and present the trophy. others are planning to be at home. 0thers have organised small, safe remote events with a few of their friends where they can accept the award somewhere perhaps that is a little bit more like a tv studio. but the most part, they do plan to be at home. they also sent out hundreds of cameras, self operated cameras that they can operated cameras that they can operate themselves. that sounds like a recipe for disaster. and with the actors on the controls. it does, yes. ithink thatis controls. it does, yes. ithink that is what the audience is hoping for, those moments ago slightly wrong. what is the big battle tonight between the nominees? what should we look for? you mentioned watchmen which is the most nominated show, the superhero drama. it has 26 nominations, more than any other show. and i think thatis any other show. and i think that is certainly the want to watch. and for lots of reasons as well. a lot of men said about the diversity of the cast in this show and the issue of diversity in itself has been a big ones at the emmys and other award shows and across hollywood more generally over the past few years. and indeed, this show, as far as nominated actors are concerned across the board, 34% are black actors which is a higherfigure board, 34% are black actors which is a higher figure than ever before. so watchmen really encapsulates a lots of issues. and i will look out for succession which you mentioned, and brian cox in particular. the veteran actor, what of the british nominees, he has been around for a decade. his performance as the media mogul in succession. some people are saying for him it is a career height and his nominated for best actor. just one more i would like to mention, the morning show which is apple tv's morning show which is apple tv‘s first drama. a slew of a—list performers with that of aniston and steve carell. a lot of nominations as well. thank you so much, peter bowes. a memorial service

gets off to a summery start as well, but it will not end that way. things through this week are going to become much more autumnal, as this band of cloud starts to work its way in our direction. now, this area of cloud is going to bring some outbreaks of rain, but it also separates the relatively warm air we have had lately from some much, much colder air — which is going to head our way, sweeping in from the northwest as we head through the coming days. but in the shorter term, through monday morning, some mist and fog, some low cloud too could affect parts of england and wales. that will tend to clear as we go through the day, and then it should be largely dry and sunny. sunnier than it was on sunday across northeast england, also southeast scotland brighter, some sunshine into parts of aberdeenshire, temperatures in aberdeen getting up to around 19 degrees. but for western scotland and northern ireland, with more cloud, more of a breeze, it will be just a touch cooler at 16—17 degrees. now, as we had through monday night into tuesday, we will see extensive cloud across the northwest of the uk, and the first signs of some outbreaks of rain, some pretty heavy rain into the far north and west. further south, some clear spells, a relatively mild night — certainly compared with some of the nights we will have later in the week. into tuesday, for england and wales, it's largely dry, could be the odd shower in the west, but for northern ireland and scotland, we see thicker cloud, we see outbreaks of rain. it will be increasingly windy. we could have gusts close to 50 mph in the far northwest. ahead of that band of cloud and rain, it's still relatively warm. in fact, we could get to 25 degrees towards the southeast corner. but that warmth will not last. through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see this band of rain, our weather front pushing further south eastwards, and behind it, as the winds switch around to northwesterlies, things turn much, much colder. so, for wednesday morning, scotland and northern ireland starting today at 5—6 degrees. 16 degrees in southeast england, but even here, it's going to turn cooler through wednesday as this frontal system moves its way through. it will bring some rain in places during wednesday, but see how the temperatures drop. it stays much, much cooler by day and by night as we head towards the end of the week with further wind and rain at times. this is bbc news, the headlines: leaked documents have revealed how some of the uk's best—known banks have allowed criminals, money launderers and shane charter and russians to move money dirty money around the world. it also shows how major banks have failed to stop crime when they see it. matt hancock has whatever tipping point in the fight against coronavirus as thousands more cases are recorded because of his british people had a choice. either follows the rules or further measures will be needed. the democratic party's residential candidate joe biden says democratic party's residential candidatejoe biden says it would be an abuse of power if republican senators confirmed any us supreme court nominee put forward by donald trump
