Unconscious on the street outside a restaurant with a head injury on monday. Here's what the police announced at the press conference earlier. Many of you are aware that following the notting hill carnival we shared information about two people with very serious injuries. I am very sad to tell you now that both have since died. First i will talk to you about mussie imnetu. He was myearsold and he was visiting the uk from dubai. He was found unconscious with a head injury in queensway at 11:22pm on monday, 26th of august. Officers and paramedics provided emergency first aid and mussie was taken to hospital where, despite the best efforts of medical staff, he sadly died on friday afternoon. A 31yearold man has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and the matter is now being treated as murder investigation. I will now talk to you about cher maximen. Cher was 32yearsold and was stabbed shortly before 6pm on sunday, 25th of august. Officers and paramedics provided first aid and cher was transported to hospital in a critical condition. Despite the hard work of medical staff, cher sadly died this morning. Cher was at the carnival with a young child who is a safe and is being cared for. On tuesday morning, officers arrested a 20yearold man, who has already been charged with attempted murder. This case is also now a murder investigation. The news of these two tragic deaths is devastating for both families. My thoughts are with them as they come to terms with their unimaginable loss. They will continue to be supported by specialist officers, and we ask that their privacy is respected at this time. We are still appealing for information. If you witnessed either incident, please contact 101 or crimestoppers anonymously. Detectives are particularly interested in speaking to customers from the restaurant in queensway who tried to stop the attack on mussie imnetu. This happened at around 11:20pm on monday. I urge them to contact us. Thank you. Speaking earlier outside the headquarters of the metropolitan police. The organisers of notting hill carnival have put out a statement on x, formerly called twitter. They say:notting hill carnival is shocked by these tragic deaths and our thoughts are with the victims* families and the local community which like so many others, has suffered all too often from the blight of violent crime. (ani)we stand together crime. We stand together against all violence and condemn these acts, which are against allcarnival values. . . And the millions of people who come in celebration of them. Our correspondent catherine byaruhanga gave us this update from scotland yard. By by two people with very serious injuries. I'm very excited i know that both have since died. Palestinian health workers have started vaccinating some babies in gaza against polio ahead of a mass immunisation programme that's starting on sunday. Palestinian health workers carried out the vaccinations in nasser hospital in khan younis. Unicef says the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours every day until september the fourth. Israel and hamas have agreed to three localised pauses in fighting to enable more than sixhundredthousand palestinian children to be vaccinated. With more from jerusalem here's our middle east correspondent, jon donnison. They have got a lot of young children to vaccinate. 640,000. And with the polio vaccination it comes in two rounds, so more thani million vaccinations are already in gaza, the first round of vaccinations will start tomorrow as part of this campaign, and then in three weeks those children will have to have another vaccination. So, a lot of the logistics around this have actually been about keeping the vaccination is cool because obviously it is very hot in gaza at the moment and they have got to be refrigerated, and for the most part it is local doctors who would be administering it, but with so many people to be vaccinated it is obviously going to be challenging. Let's turn our attention to israel *s military operation in the west bank, what is the latest on that? well, this intensified israeli military operation has now been going on for several days, and it has continued today, as you say specifically injenin. My colleagues there say they have been loud explosions coming from the urban refugee camp in the centre ofjenin, as well as bursts of gunfire. Israeli helicopter gunships have been spotted overhead. Israel says it is pursuing its counterterrorism operations, its foreign minister has said there is, in effect, a war in the west bank, and it is a war that israel is determined to win, but it is having a huge impact on civilians living in palestinian cities in the north of the west bank. Many of them have been shuttered up in their homes for many days. I was injenin this week and it was deserted on the streets. My colleagues injenin say they have seen a number of women and children being brought out in a group from the refugee camp, but it is an ongoing situation. And there has also been an attack on an aid convoy in gaza. What is the update on that? well, this actually happened on thursday and it was a convoy from a us aid group that was taking medical supplies to a hospital in rafah, in the south of gaza. What they say is that the convoy was hit by an airstrike. The first vehicle in the convoy was hit, and that for people, palestinians, who were escorting the convoy as a security to protect it from looting, died in that air strike. The charity involved says that they were not actually their employees, but they had been recruited locally. Israel has said that they were militants travelling as part of this convoy*s cover. Brazil has begun implementing a block on elon musk*s social media platform, x, in a dispute about the spread of disinformation. The ruling was made after the company missed a deadline to name a new legal representative there. A supreme courtjudge ordered the immediate and complete suspension of x until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. X removed its legal representative from brazil, claiming thejudge had threatened her with arrest. Elon musk says: *free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudojudge in brazil, is destroying it for political purposes. * our correspondent leandro prazeres is in brasilia. Well actually this is a scenario that is quite intriguing because brazil has more than 20 million x users, and for some of them, including myself, it was very common to check on the x application from time to time and since the early hours of today this is not possible because the suspension of x in brazil took place at the beginning of the day. Right now the most pressing question is how long is this ban going to last? there is no indication that elon musk is going to step back from his decisions, meaning that he is not willing to comply with the orders issued by brazil*s supreme court. On the other hand, if he does not comply with the orders, the supreme court will not have any legal reason to step back and reverse this order. This relationship between elon musk and the supreme court judge, elon musk has been extremely critical of him. Yes, that*s true. We have to bear in mind that at the very heart of this question there is a dispute over the right of free speech because this is exactly at the centre of what elon musk has been saying. He has been saying that what thisjudge in brazil is doing is a threat to free speech in the country. On the other hand, the judge is saying that we should not mistake the right to free speech with the right to aggression because there is an ongoing investigation at the moment in brazil, and that is the beginning of everything. Thisjudge ordered some extra files to be banned because they were allegedly spreading misinformation, but elon musk said that he would not because he does not agree with these orders. I read that last year telegram was temporarily banned as well over its failure to cooperate with requests to block certain profiles, so to what extent are other social media companies concerned about the actions that the courts may take? well, it is a difficult question to answer because in 2022, during the election process here in brazil, as you said, telegram was banned for some time. Telegram was not complying with the orders issued by brazil *s supreme court. The situation is quite similar to the situation that we have now because telegram also did not have a legal representative in brazil at that time. But because of this ban, telegram named a legal representative in brazil and then this social network resumed its functioning here in brazil. So far, there is no indication, at least not to my knowledge, that other social networks such as facebook, instagram and others would be concerned over a ban because actually this is something that the rulings of this judge saying that meta and other networks have been complying with the orders of brazil*s microsupreme court. Researchers say they believe a drug used to treat obesity and type2 diabetes could also help slow the ageing process. Studies on the effectiveness of semaglutide which is sold under the brand names ozempic, and wegovy found that the drug could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses linked to heart failure, arthritis, alzheimer*s and even cancer. Researchers say that by improving people*s health this way, the drug could help slow ageing. Let*s speak to john deanfield, who is a professor of cardiology at university college london. If you look at many of the diseases and conditions that are associated with dementia, cancers etc and when these drugs are being given to patients. These drugs are being given to atients. ~.. patients. Who have both conditions, _ patients. Who have both conditions, and patients. Who have both conditions, and they patients. Who have both conditions, and they produce significant weight loss, the evidence now suggests that many of those conditions are prevented to a significant degree and others will we are very excited at the british heart foundation that we see a significant reduction in strokes and heart attacks and hospitalisations for heart failure. When we are talking about significant we talk about the third of the cases but otherwise have occurred or prevented. With this kind of treatment. So that is what they mean by the ageing process itself. Going beyond that, there has been an argument or discussion as to whether all of the benefits associated with the benefits associated with the weight loss generated by these treatments is that the main cause or benefit or other owner effects at the treatments themselves by binding to the receptor binds to, does it produce other benefits independent of weight loss? they come to that conclusion because when they look at patients who don*t lose as much weight as other patients, many of those patients still sing the same level of benefit, particularly in terms of heart disease and strokes so why is it happening even in some cases when the weight isn*t coming down as much? there are a number of reasons that, we know that when you are overweight and if you lose weight, if you lose weight with these drugs, they modify your appetite and not only for food but it seems like you may reduce your intake of alcohol, you may also reduce your smoking habits so that is a fascinating observation that has come out of the trials of the sea they would have a major impact on reducing the risk. There is also and oversee as a consequence of weight loss we see reductions in cholesterol, we see reduced risk of getting diabetes, they patients become more mobile and active so there are many facets, all of those things which are stopping smoking and producing alcohol, becoming more active and taking more exercise in of themselves will help reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease. I think the message they reinforce is a thing we*ve been saying for a long time, try and maintain a healthy body weight and if you overweight, try lose weight. Ideally naturally by taking more exercise, and modifying your diet, but it is exciting that those patients who have tried that and haven*t been able to get the weight loss they desire, then we do now have a treatment option. It looks highly effective at reducing weight but also producing a patient*s risk of going on and getting heart disease or stroke which can be devastating things happen and thatis devastating things happen and that is why there are so much excitement about it. Excitement about it. Very briefl , excitement about it. Very briefly, doesn't _ excitement about it. Very briefly, doesn't this excitement about it. Very briefly, doesn't this kind l excitement about it. Very. Briefly, doesn't this kind of briefly, doesn*t this kind of drive up demand and particularly for people who don*t need it as much as some patients whose health is compromised. patients whose health is compromised. Patients whose health is comromised. . ,, compromised. That is the issue of these treatments _ compromised. That is the issue of these treatments because i of these treatments because some people like to use them simply to try and lose weight, to improve their appearance. As opposed to needing to lose weight because they are at risk of heart disease, and other diseases but of course and in some way we must try and target those therapies to patients were generally overweight or at levels that are recommended or have diabetes are worth because not only does is going to be effective, it is going to be more effective at reducing the risk because they are going to be the people at risk and those are the people who are to benefit most reducing heart disease and stroke. China and the philippines have accused each other of deliberately crashing into each other*s vessels in a disputed area of the south china sea. The incident involved two coastguard ships and marked the second such event in two weeks at the sabina shoal. The philippines has claimed a chinese ship directly and intentionally rammed into its vessel, while beijing has accused the philippines of deliberately crashing into a chinese ship. The sabina shoal is the latest flashpoint in an ongoing territorial battle between beijing and manila over various zones and islands in the south china sea. We set tens of thousands of people have spent hours waiting in a queue on the websites some standing tickets which ran 435 were being priced as high as series the and the sunday times. Who broke the story you are somewhat ahead of the curve, once you? i heard about this route reunion it is the only thing that anyone*s been able to speak about this week which was exciting and i think it is really catching balls is a price as to how global and dominating it has been, i think people it is nostalgic, i think there are a lot of young fans, and i think that*s why it*s really caught the imagination of millions. of millions. What you mean bi aer of millions. What you mean bigger than _ of millions. What you mean bigger than they _ of millions. What you mean bigger than they ever of millions. What you mean | bigger than they ever were? when they. . . What you*ve now got is that you are than static brand so people in their 40s, 50s, 60s for the first time in the vacuum of them not being here, they have attracted a huge audience so away from the kind of i say way from the gossip and the noise of other brothers and the last bit of a career that kind of dwindled. Young fans, any teenagers and people in their
