9:30 am
ceasefire negotiations — the united states, egypt and qatar issued a joint call for talks to resume next week. the son of bangladesh's former prime minister, sheikh hasina, says his mother will return to the country when fresh elections are called. hello, iam lauren hello, i am lauren taylor. let's get more on the recent disorder across england and northern ireland. much of the unrest we've seen since the fatal stabbings of three children in southport 11 days ago, was fuelled in part by mis—information, spread on social media about the alleged killer. our disinformation correspondent, marianna spring, has tracked down some of the people behind one of the first posts publishing false information, and asked them why they did it. all this week, we've been telling you a lot about how misinformation, false claims on social media, have been accused of fuelling riots in the uk. i've been investigating where it's coming from and why it's being shared.
9:31 am
one of the first pages to share false information about the southport tragedy was this unregulated news site called channel3 now. they wrote a story about the stabbings in southport and quickly posted it on social media. some of the details were correct, but the name of the 17—year—old charged was false and the article wrongly suggested that the alleged attacker was here seeking asylum. nevertheless, it was widely quoted and shared, often by accounts posting disinformation and far—right ideas. and because the site name sounded like a news station, people might have been less likely to question it. now, because of what happened in the uk this week, i tracked down some of the people linked to channel3 now to find out who they are. james is an amateur hockey player from nova scotia in canada. and then there's farhan. he's a dad who appears to be based in lahore in pakistan. when i reached out to farhan, he blocked me. but i've confirmed both of their identities by speaking to people who know them. we don't know if either of these people were responsible
9:32 am
for the misinformation about southport, as the article doesn't have a by—line. i was also able to speak to someone who says they're called kevin and based in texas. they say they're involved in the running of the site and its social media accounts. this person apologised for the inaccurate article, saying "this shouldn't have happened, but it was an error, not intentional". what i found out about channel3 now points towards a site that wants to make money from jumping on stories quickly, rather than intentionally looking to fuel riots. kevin said the site is covering as many stories as possible to generate income, so chasing clicks appears to have been more important than checking the facts. that's partly down to the design of the social media sites. x allows accounts to profit from their posts the more views they get, even if what they're saying is false. so what's the solution? well, current legislation in the uk, like the online safety act, doesn't have the ability to deal with disinformation, although there are other laws that deal with hate, incitement, violence.
9:33 am
plus lots of the people involved are based abroad. instead, the power lies mainly with the social media companies and partly with those who share this content, whether intentionally or not. x hasn't yet responded to the bbc�*s request for comment. as we've heard, the prime minister has told an emergency cobra meeting that the police will remain on high alert, after a week of violent disorder. he said there was "no doubt" rapid sentencing and extra police officers on the street helped prevent further unrest. with me is bbc newsbeat�*s presenter pria rai, who's been speaking to younger listeners and callers to her shows all week, and hearing their views on the riots and protests. what have they been saying to you? it has been a real range of opinions. the first thing i really noticed was the volume of people who wanted to get in and express their feelings, personal experiences. the first thing that really started coming through early in the week where people feeling scared and having this kind of inherent feeling
9:34 am
of fear, even if they are not in places where at that point there had been flashpoints, clashes, riots and violence. particularly within the british south asian community. i think because it raised conversations of experiences of racism, discrimination, that kind of feeling of intimidation that their parents or grandparents had experienced in the uk in the 70s and 80s, then raising those conversations and realising they are witnessing for some of them that feeling first—hand that they had only ever heard about. so particularly interesting, i spoke to an 18—year—old who lives in an area of birmingham where there is a strong south asian community. he said, i am strong south asian community. he said, iam born strong south asian community. he said, i am born and strong south asian community. he said, iam born and bred here and for the first time i feel like i am questioning my identity. there were a lot of people getting in touch expressing this feeling of fear, being aware of the colour of their
9:35 am
skin for the first time and some of it is based off what they have seen of the news. some mbaye stuff what these being spoken about online and that was particularly interesting across all british asian communities, particularly for muslim communities, particularly for muslim communities and young muslims that we have spoken to. british muslims. i spoke to one young woman who is a british muslim called lipa and she said it made her question herself. we had a riot here today and i said, i will_ we had a riot here today and i said, i will refer_ we had a riot here today and i said, i will refer to — we had a riot here today and i said, i will refer to the right to protest because — i will refer to the right to protest because these people have no other motive _ because these people have no other motive than violence. so these people — motive than violence. so these people will come in and they want to cause _ people will come in and they want to cause havoc. so what i wanted to do was take _ cause havoc. so what i wanted to do was take my— cause havoc. so what i wanted to do was take my nan out so she is not afflicted _ was take my nan out so she is not afflicted by— was take my nan out so she is not afflicted by what is going on, the noises _ afflicted by what is going on, the noises and sounds, the police rattling — noises and sounds, the police rattling everywhere because they are trying _ rattling everywhere because they are trying to _ rattling everywhere because they are trying to keep the community safe. how has _ trying to keep the community safe. how has it— trying to keep the community safe. how has it been for you and for your

strongly, is people absolutely talking on the violence, people not wanting to see that, irrespective of their heritage or community, on their heritage or community, on their streets or on other people's streets. but of sense of frustration of not knowing how to come if they have concerns on immigration, how to talk about it without being branded something they don't feel they are. also a sense of wanting to have more information, feeling like, 0k, also a sense of wanting to have more information, feeling like, ok, i am can concerned about immigration but i don't really know if i have all the information to base that opinion on. we did have several people getting in touch saying, i really empathise and understand or can only imagine how fearful some people may be feeling. i don't want them to feel that they are but i also am wanting to talk about immigration. that is something that a couple of people who got in touch with newsbeat spoke to me about. all of newsbeat spoke to me about. all of the illeual newsbeat spoke to me about. all of the illegal immigration _ newsbeat spoke to me about. all of the illegal immigration and the volume — the illegal immigration and the volume of sort of people that are

9:40 am
that conversation, see things from each other�*s perspective a bit more. what has been more in all of the heaviness that a lot of people have been feeling, a lot of fear, it's a word i keep using but it is a word i keep hearing from our listeners, there is a world to be persistent to try and keep things going in a more positive, less violent direction. pria rai, thank you very much indeed. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
9:41 am
here in the uk, victims of historical miscarriages ofjustice have been told they won't be refunded money that was deducted from their compensation to cover board and lodging costs while they were in prison. last year, the conservative lord chancellor alex chalk said there would be no such deductions from future payments, but left the issue of past cases undecided. let's speak to our political correspondent, damian grammaticas.
9:42 am
how has this news been received? as how has this news been received? is you would imagine, a real disappointment, very bitterly by those who said they believe they should not have to pay this cost. so what this is, that case last year, a man who was wrongfully imprisoned, his conviction was overturned. when he said that from his compensation he said that from his compensation he was going to get, the government was going to deduct the costs of what are called save to living expenses. so whilst he was in prison, the money he didn't have to spend on rent and food, the government position at the time was, well, you saved that, so we will deduct that from the compensation. there was an outcry. last year, the government said that case and all future ones that would be stopped. then what happened is people who had money deducted in the past came forward. paul blackburn was one of
9:43 am
those. he spent 25 years in prison. he was convicted just aged 16 of attempted murder. that was overturned in the early 2000s. he had £100,000 deducted from his compensation for those saved to living expenses. he was written to by the governmentjust in the past week to say that they were turning down his application to have that money refunded. they said although the policy was changing, it would not apply retrospectively and he is very upset about that. he said that he doesn't feel like that is just. the government could easily change this and he said he felt he had been victimised by the state which had imprisoned him before underfalse pretenses and now was doing so again by denying him the refund of this money. by denying him the refund of this mone . . by denying him the refund of this mone. ., ., ., ., ~ by denying him the refund of this mone. ., ., ., ., money. damian grammaticus, thank you ve much money. damian grammaticus, thank you very much indeed. _ boaty mcboatface — britain's most famous robot submarine — has returned to shore after two months exploring the deep ocean. scientists hope that data
9:44 am
gathered by the craft, will help us learn more about the pace of climate change. 0ur climate and science reporter georgina rannard has more. with only birds for company, boaty mcboatface is on the longest journey of its life — from chilly iceland to the shores of scotland. but as it dives thousands of metres, someone is keeping an eye on this little robot. we can be at home having a cup of tea, on the internet, and we can send it a message via satellite while it's out 300 miles to sea and tell it what to do. from mission control at the national 0ceanography centre in southampton, rob templeton and team track boaty�*s every move. the robots are their pride and joy. they look after a fleet of six, all with the same name voted for by the public. they're built to go where humans can't. the advantage of boaty is really the endurance and the ability to carry lots of sensors and stay out at sea for 50 days at a time.
9:45 am
it can go and extend the reach of the scientists. we've sent alri underneath the ice sheet at 40km, where you couldn't go with a ship. and it's here, inside the machines' bellies, where the team install instruments, turning boaty into a mobile underwater lab. those robots are part of a huge british science project to understand this — phytoplankton. this sample came from the water down there and it's teeming with microscopic life. scientists need to understand marine life better to predict climate change. the robots can do some of the work, but, to find out the rest, scientists need to go to sea themselves. steph henson invited us aboard the james cook as it prepared to sail to iceland. scientists will live and work on here for weeks for a project called biocarbon. this is a working vessel. there's no swimming pool. there's no, like, bar and entertainment and all that kind of thing. this expedition wants to uncover what happens when animals eat phytoplankton, creating something called marine snow.
9:46 am
this is actually sediment taken from flows to the bottom of the ocean in a sediment trap. this contains a lot of carbon and, believe it or not, it's this falling onto the sea floor as marine snow that keeps our atmospheric carbon dioxide levels about 50% lower than they would otherwise be. it's made up of tiny little particles of organic carbon and quite a lot of poo, actually. deep in the ocean, that marine snow is keeping our planet cooler. but life here is still mysterious. understanding it should help scientists make more accurate predictions about our warming world. and now they've got a head start. approaching scotland after 55 days at sea, boaty comes home with plenty of secrets to reveal about the ocean depths. georgina rannard, bbc news, southampton. georgina rennard joins me live now

9:48 am
said they are cleaning it, it has some smells of the ocean and some life has formed from those four weeks in the water. what they are doing is they will be downloading all the amazing scientific data rate was able to collect on these instruments and sensors fitted inside the belly because that is the real point of this trip. it is to do this huge scientific research project. in this huge scientific research ro'ect. , ., ,. . project. in terms of the science the are project. in terms of the science they are getting _ project. in terms of the science they are getting out _ project. in terms of the science they are getting out of- project. in terms of the science they are getting out of it, - project. in terms of the science they are getting out of it, are l they are getting out of it, are there any headlines that have come out already from this existing foray it has had? it out already from this existing foray it has had? , ., ., , out already from this existing foray it has had? ,., ., , ,., . it has had? it is a really pro'ect run b it has had? it is a really pro'ect by the fi it has had? it is a really pro'ect run by the nationali it has had? it is a really project i run by the national oceanography centre with various universities. some scientists have been on one expedition, looking at this marine snow and phytoplankton, particles that float down in the deep ocean. they have identified some forms of that phytoplankton and think it might be storing even more carbon than they thought. that really gets to the point of this research, understanding how the oceans are absorbing carbon dioxide, which goes
9:49 am
up absorbing carbon dioxide, which goes up into our atmosphere when we burn fossilfuels and is up into our atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels and is of course warming our planet. the oceans store a lot of that, a huge amount, more than most people would realise, deep down in the ocean it is stored for a long time. but there are so many questions about how long that carbon stays there, when it gets disturbed, and what is happening is our oceans warm. we know that is disrupting marine life and causing a lot of problems. they think that it may be storing more carbon than we realised but it's really, there is still an open question and once they find out some of the answers with this mission, they should be able to feed it back into those big climate models we all used to predict climate change.— models we all used to predict climate change. models we all used to predict climate chance. , ., ., ., ,, climate change. georgina, thank you ve much climate change. georgina, thank you very much indeed. _ let's get some of the day's other news now. catalan separatist leader carles puigdemont is back in belgium, having avoided capture in spain after appearing at a public rally in central barcelona despite an outstanding warrant for his arrest. two police officers have been
9:50 am
detained on suspicion of aiding his escape. venezuela's president, nicolas maduro, has signed a decree blocking access to the social media platform x for 10 days. mr maduro accused elon musk of of inciting hate, civil war and death. the two men have traded insults since nicolas maduro was declared the winner of last month's disputed presidential election. you're watching bbc news. the former model, katie price, has been arrested at heathrow airport and taken into police custody for failing to attend court. an arrest warrant was issued for the 46—year—old last week, after she failed to attend a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies. ms price will appear in court today, as sean dilley reports. back from holiday, but katie price's feet hardly touched the ground before she found herself in police custody. the former glamour model was arrested by metropolitan police
9:51 am
officers at 7:45 last night, for failing to show up at a high court bankruptcy hearing on the 30th ofjuly. the court said she failed to show despite knowing that she had to, and being given very clear warnings she'd face arrest if she did not. the model, once known asjordan, had been due to answer questions about two bankruptcies. herfirst was in november 2019, a second in march this year. judge catherine burton said katie price had provided no real explanation for not turning up. she said, "it is in myjudgement necessary that the court issue a warrant for ms price's arrest." the judge described her cooperation as piecemeal and said she had only provided the most basic information relating to her bankruptcies, adding, "she has no real excuse in failing to attend today's hearing. "the reason for her absence today is irrelevant." specialist lawyers had hoped to quiz katie price about her finances.
9:52 am
she's already paying 40% of her earnings from the adult entertainment site 0nly fans towards her first bankruptcy. her second relates to an unpaid tax bill of £750,000. now, though, she's paying the price forfailing to show, with an uncomfortable landing, and a night in a west london police cell. sean dilley, bbc news. up to 1,000 people a day visit the set of coronation street. visitor numbers are up 14% on last year. many come from as far as canada, new zealand, and finland — corrie, after all, is shown all over the world. they call it �*set—jetting'. 34% of international visitors to the uk say they want to visit locations from their favourite film and tv shows. and this kind of tourism added £892 million to the economy in one year alone. so what is it that makes getting behind the scenes so appealing? ben boulos has been finding out...
9:53 am
emmerdale theme. you could well be forgiven for thinking you're looking at the newest addition to the cast of emmerdale. i'm not, but i am here on the set where they film the show and i've come to find out about set tours, like this one happening today, and the rise in popularity of uk days out. now, a little secret for you... we have people travel from around the world to come here. you know, i do these tours every weekend. we have people from new zealand, south africa, canada. they fly in even from the caribbean to spend time here. yorkshire's a very, very special place. well, we're from kaikoura in new zealand and we came here especially for the emmerdale tour. it was really high on our priority of things to do when we came here. really keen. you must be big fans of the show, then? yeah, we are. i started first and brought him in and now he loves it, as well. we watch it together every night. huge fans. this, it was bought as a christmas present from one of our sons. - i was really lookingj
9:54 am
forward to doing it. tried to choose a nice day - and we seem to have done that. yeah, i've watched it from since . probably the late 705, early '805. we love emmerdale. don't miss an episode. yeah _ and we're cousins and we usually try and treat ourselves to a full day out somewhere. and this was one of the ideas. and i kept saying i've never been, it's on my bucket list, we've got to do it. people coming to the uk to come on holiday that might usually spend most of their time in london, at london—based attractions, and coming up to, you know, leeds and manchester to visit emmerdale and coronation street is bringing that tourism further north. spending time in our hotels, our restaurants and our bars and enjoying the beautiful countryside and the other things to see and do in the north of england. part of the appeal of tours like this one is people having the chance to take photos outside the iconic locations from their favourite shows, and the same is true of other film and tv sets, as well, which are also proving popular. the bbc series peaky blinders, although set in birmingham,
9:55 am
