The death of a 28-year-old lab worker at an anti-plague institute in the Siberian city of Irkutsk has sparked a flurry of speculation. BBC Verify reviews what different Russian authorities have said about the case, which the US has been watching "very closely, hour by hour", Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has urged people not to "listen to various rumours" and to follow updates from Russia's public health watchdog, which named the official cause of the researcher's death as pneumonia of unknown origin. Watch Russia editor Steve Rosenberg report on Peskov's comments, while health correspondent Dominic Hughes explains what to know about pneumonic plague as questions about the disease mount.

The US Department of Justice has charged a 30-year-old man with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. Authorities allege James Cody Bryant encouraged the 18-year-old suspect, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the attack, "offering advice, sending money, and even agreeing to livestream a horrific event". Eight people, including six children, were killed in the February shooting in British Columbia.
