drugs have been getting into the uk. nitazenes — which are more deadly then heroin — have recently been linked to more than two uk deaths a week. made in labs in china, nitazenes are being advertised on social media platforms and smuggled into the country — before being mixed into other illegal drugs by criminal gangs. colin campbell has the story. the 21—year—old southampton musician dylan rocha died after unknowingly taking synthetic opioids called nitazenes that were hidden in heroin. just really wanted to cuddle him. i put my head on his chest, really scared. i didn't want to put my head on his chest because because his heart wasn't beating. we've discovered the super—strength manmade drugs linked to more than 100 uk deaths are being openly advertised by chinese suppliers on major social media sites. on x, formerly twitter, we found more than 700 adverts for nitazenes. on the music sharing platform soundcloud, we found almost 3,000.

finding adverts on this scale — hundreds, thousands of adverts — it is horrifying with potentially a very significant risk to human life. posing as a drug dealer, we contacted suppliers in china and received a flood of offers, videos of the labs where the drugs are supposedly made and bags of powder ready to be shipped. our product is very, very good. and the purity is up to 98. are you a fan of me from soundcloud? do you have many customers from soundcloud? yeah, yeah. it's melodic, playful, but they can make an advertisement on it. we contacted 35 suppliers. 30 said they could post nitazenes to the uk. you promise it is safe?

after we contacted soundcloud, they removed all the posts. they say they were being targeted by bad actors for the purpose of selling or trading illegal drugs. they say they use staff and software to moderate posts and promise to take every possible action to tackle the worldwide epidemic of drug trafficking. after contacting x, hundreds of posts were removed, but, a month later, many remained on the platform. we asked if a failure to adequately moderate had allowed posts to remain online while the global trade of these dangerous drugs flourishes. they did not respond. dylan rocha used soundcloud to share his music. for his mum, there's only one course of action for the social media firms. take them down, obviously. have more stringent things in place

to stop advertisements going on. the very thing that dylan used for people to know about his music and love his music also advertising the drug that killed him. the bbc didn't buy any nitazenes and contacted all suppliers to ask why they were willing to provide illegal and dangerous products. only six responded, saying they'd never sent the drug to the uk and didn't know it was illegal here. the home office say amounts reaching the uk remain low and a recent tightening of the law means suppliers can now face life in prison. colin campbell, bbc news. let's speak to caroline copeland, senior lecturer in pharmacology and toxicology at king's college. this we have just been hearing about how dangerous nitazenes are, been compared to heroin. for some people they will have never heard of them, can you explain to us more simply, what exactly do nitazenes do to the

that uk prosecutors have authorised charges against two men who were alleged to have breached the official secrets act on behalf of china. this is in the uk, prosecutors have authorised charges against two men, we don't have further details but the allegation is that they breached the official secrets act and they were acting on behalf of china. we will look into that story as soon as we have more. protests at columbia university are continuing on monday for a sixth straight day, sparking more safety concerns for some students on campus. more than 100 people have been arrested since protests on and near the campus in upper manhattan started on wednesday. pro—palestinian demonstrators have also been critical of columbia's response to the conflict and have called on the university to divest from israel. on saturday, a large group of protesters gathered outside the university gates, while student protesters returned to the main lawn on campus.

the white house has condemned what it calls "blatantly anti—semitic statements" and denouced calls for "violence and intimidation targeting jewish students." a real concern as we enter the pass over a period about what is happening at the university. here in london, the metropolitan police commissioner will meet mayor sadiq khan today — following a row over his force's handling of demonstrations. sir mark rowley has faced calls to resign — after an anti—semitism campaigner was threatened with arrest, at a pro—palestine protest. with more on this, let's speak to our correspondent lucy manning. give us the background to what is happening. give us the background to what is ha eninu. , .,, ., give us the background to what is ha enin. , ., ., ., happening. this was a video that surfaced over _ happening. this was a video that surfaced over the _ happening. this was a video that surfaced over the last _ happening. this was a video that surfaced over the last few - happening. this was a video that surfaced over the last few days l happening. this was a video that. surfaced over the last few days from one of the pro—palestinian demonstrations that have been held fairly frequently in the centre of london. the chief executive of the

campaign group, the campaign against anti—semitism was seen with a jewish head covering being stopped by the police stopping crossing the road. he is told by the police you can't cross because you are overtly jewish. and there is some more footage where the officer does offer to escort him to a safer place but then also says to him you are under threat of arrest if you don't do that. lots of people so that footage, were shocked by it, the campaign against anti—semitism and the former home secretary suella braverman said that the met police commissioner mark rowley should resign over this. today, we have had members of groups representing the jewish community going to meet with the met police commissioner, not that specific group but other groups. they got out of that meeting saying it was a positive meeting that the met had reiterated the

apology, the met had to apologise twice, once for its first apology and then apologising for it apology. we have had further apologies to jewish commuter groups, they said the met promised they would pay more attention to the concerns of the jewish community, to be more culturally sensitive and take on advice of seniorjewish officers. those jewish groups advice of seniorjewish officers. thosejewish groups have asked the police and government to reduce the number of demonstrations, to move them to other locations, because they feel sometimes thatjewish people are intimidated and have to stay out of the city centre because of those demonstrations.- stay out of the city centre because of those demonstrations. there are differin: of those demonstrations. there are differing views _ of those demonstrations. there are differing views about _ of those demonstrations. there are differing views about what - of those demonstrations. there are | differing views about what happened at this particular protest from different sides. have you managed to see the longer video which is in circulation from that particular protest? fin circulation from that particular rotest? , ., ., , .,

mark rowley, he said that he did but he said those pictures, he also shared concerns and it was right that the police apologised and the met police need to work harder rebuild the trust of the jewish community. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the kremlin says the $61 billion military aid package to ukraine — approved by american lawmakers — will not change the situation on the front lines. but ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, says the help will give his country a chance of victory in the war. the aid is likely to include air defence systems, mid to long—range missiles, and artillery shells. ukraine's forces have been coming under increasing pressure in the east of the country — where russia has captured hundreds more kilometres of territory. let's speak now to patrick bury, senior associate professor in security at the university of bath.

we had a predictable response from the kremlin, in your view, what kind of difference will the $61 billion make? i of difference will the $61 billion make? ~' ., , of difference will the $61 billion make? ~' .,, , , , make? i think the most pressing issue is air _ make? i think the most pressing issue is air defence. _ make? i think the most pressing issue is air defence. we - make? i think the most pressing issue is air defence. we have - make? i think the most pressing| issue is air defence. we have had zelensky say they need another seven systems, we think the ukrainians maybe have a 3—5 of the advanced systems, the patriot system is from europe. i think the expression of the need, they need more than double that potentially. it shows you how critical things are in a defence. does the us have these systems ready to deploy to ukraine now? thea;r does the us have these systems ready to deploy to ukraine now?— to deploy to ukraine now? they could have, that would _ to deploy to ukraine now? they could have, that would be _ to deploy to ukraine now? they could have, that would be quite _ to deploy to ukraine now? they could have, that would be quite heavily - have, that would be quite heavily classified but they have stocks, because these are mobile platforms they can be moved quickly along with they can be moved quickly along with

the missile. in the long run, there's questions in terms of europe, the production lines to keep these missiles going but in the short term they can get things there relatively quickly. nato are trying to coordinate on that to get the pieces across. if you lose the ability to protect your skies, firstly your railroads and energy infrastructure can come under attack, if you lose the railroads that makes it harder to get things to the front. secondly, the russian ground forces and the air force can get into more of a groove, we have seen the russian air force more active, where there is a battle developing in the east. in the recent days, essentially because air defence is struggling, that is the most important thing. artillery ammunition, heavy artillery, you need to get that in. the czech republic have done a greatjob sorting out from the open market and we expect the us and nato to get

more things in. there is a manpower issue which the ukrainians are moving towards addressing but it is not there yet. we moving towards addressing but it is not there yet-— not there yet. we saw president zelensky say _ not there yet. we saw president zelensky say this _ not there yet. we saw president zelensky say this gives - not there yet. we saw president zelensky say this gives us - not there yet. we saw president zelensky say this gives us a - not there yet. we saw president zelensky say this gives us a realj zelensky say this gives us a real chance of victory, that is crucial for ukrainians. they say we need enough to notjust hold the line and survive but to try and actually win this war. how much does this help and how much more is needed? if you look at the bill, _ and how much more is needed? if you look at the bill, it _ and how much more is needed? if you look at the bill, it is _ and how much more is needed? if you look at the bill, it is set _ and how much more is needed? if you look at the bill, it is set to _ look at the bill, it is set to expire in late september 2024, that gives you an idea of how long the planning projection is of how long they can keep ukraine in the fight. if you look at most of the weapons, ukraine is on the defensive, and the defensive is a stagnant form of warfare, it is hard to break through and mass in secret to break through. i actually view this as a mainly defensive package, it is more about keeping ukraine in the war over the

next six months and holding what it has which is very important if there is going to be any kind of negotiations. the long—range missiles, it depends on the warhead, if it is the heavy warhead, that is what ukraine has been asking for, it means they can start dropping major russian infrastructure, whether that the us has given them that or the smaller warhead it remains to be seen. ukraine are taking the fight to the russians in the black sea, we are seeing more tax on refineries, but at the moment it is not at the level two because anything more than a fair bit of harassment rather than strategic pain. a fair bit of harassment rather than strategic pain-— strategic pain. thank you for your thou~hts. strategic pain. thank you for your thoughts. thank— strategic pain. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. _ strategic pain. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. more - strategic pain. thank you for your | thoughts. thank you. more details coming in, the british crown prosecution service authorised charges against two men. the allegations are that the two men breached the official secrets act on behalf of china. we are set to get

and this is where we'll have the highest temperatures, 16 degrees in glasgow, we're looking at 10 or 11 in london and norwich. the average in the far southeast is 14 or 15. now through this evening and overnight, this is the weather front, still producing some patchy light rain and drizzle. behind that, though, the skies do clear, it's going to be a cold night once again, colder in the north than last night, a little bit milder under all this cloud in the southeast than last night. so, a real change in fortunes. as we head through tomorrow, we still have this weather front draped across southern areas, producing cloud and patchy light rain, the clearance in the sky, especially out towards the west. so, we hang on to quite a lot of cloud in parts of the southeast through the day, but brightening up southwest england, wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland. but we'll have a brisk wind coming down the north sea coastline and that will accentuate the cold feel. the temperatures are quite low anyway.

but quite a blustery day really wherever you are. then for wednesday again there'll be a few showers coming down this north sea coastline, getting into norfolk, for example. some of these could be wintry in parts of the highlands and the pennines, a bit more cloud around during the course of wednesday. but there will be some brighter breaks nonetheless. and these are our temperatures, 7 to about 13 degrees north to south. as we move on through thursday and friday, there'll be some showers around. temperatures rising a little bit through the weekend. but then that low pressure comes in saturday night and sunday bringing some rain.

today at 1:00 — the prime minister says the first flight carrying asylum seekers to rwanda will leave this summer — in 10 to 12 weeks' time. rishi sunak had originally promised the first flight would take off this spring — he says he wants parliament to end the delay on passing his rwanda legislation parliament would sit there and vote no matter how late it goes. no ifs, no buts — these flights are going to rwanda. labour say the rwanda plan is an extortionate gimmick. also on the programme: the racist murder of stephen lawrence. the metropolitan police apologises to his mother for breaking a promise to answer new questions about his killers.

they're living their lives, they don't have to worry because the police have no intention of following up and seeking to investigate them, and they continue to get away with murder. smart motorways — how the technology meant to keep drivers safe keeps on failing. a house with a door. and celebrating a century of schools broadcasts — we take a nostalgic journey through decades. and coming up on bbc news: the football association's investigating nottingham forest's post—match comments after the club accused the video assistant referee of being a luton fan following their loss at everton. good afternoon.
