tens of thousands of civilians are trying to flee mosul — as government forces get closer to recapturing it from so—called islamic state. 50,000 people have fled the west of the city over the last fortnight alone. the iraqi army is now pushing deeper into the city. the pentagon has promised a full investigation into military personnel who shared nude photographs of female colleagues on social media. former and current servicewomen say they have had their photographs posted without their knowledge. volkswagen has pleaded guilty in an american court to three criminal charges linked to its diesel emissions scandal — the company will pay fines of more than $4.3 billion. prosecutors say the fraud went to the top of the organisation. a drug addict who crashed a car into a family during a police chase in south london has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. last augustjoshua dobby lost control of a stolen car killing 34—year—old rosie cooper and her 10—year—old nephew

makayah mcdermott — and seriously injuring two other children. it emerged in courtjoshua dobby has 53 previous convictions dating back to when he was 13. tom symonds has more. it was a summer's day, the family on their way to the park for ice cream, when this car came skidding off the road, hitting a bollard and lifting it into the air and down on top of three children and their aunt. the aftermath was horrific. little kids screaming, like. there were like 20 guys around this one car, they all lifting the car up and moved the car so everyone could come out. rozanne cooper and makayah mcdermott stood no chance. he loved sport and acting. she was the mainstay of her family, the court was told. joshua dobby tried to run. the court heard a statement from yahla mcdermott, who'd been trapped under the car.

dobby stepped over her in his rush to escape. "this stupid, ugly man", she said, "has shattered my life and crushed my confidence." she's 13 and her legs are badly scarred. her family was disappointed with the 12—year sentence. we came here today to seejustice done, and in the hope that joshua dobby would show remorse and sorrow for killing our beautiful rosie and our wonderful makayah. but he has shown none. they were taken from us with still many years of their lives to live. five days before, kent police had chased dobby at up to 80 miles per hour on open roads, but it was so risky officers stopped the pursuit. that didn't happen in built—up london, though he was driving at high speed, the wrong way down one—way streets. the independent police complaints commission is now investigating. but the judge said dobby, whose drug—addicted life was as out

of control as the car, deliberately drove dangerously, hoping the police would give up. it's rare for drivers who kill to be charged with manslaughter, with its maximum life sentence. dobby‘s sentence, i2 years, was reduced because he pleaded guilty. the family of his victims aren't happy, and thatjust shows how complex this area can be forjudges who have to decide the penalties when drivers kill on the roads. tom symonds, bbc news, at the old bailey. now it's time for the travel show. coming up on the programme this week, i am on an arctic adventure deepin week, i am on an arctic adventure deep in finnish lapland. i hang out with a rapper who is helping to preserve a nearly extinct arctic language. and i get possibly too

close to a reindeer round—up. i would not want to be hit by one of them, though. hello and welcome to the travel show with me. this week we are in the north of finland. to be precise, we are in inari, home to the indigenous sami people whose culture and language is under threat. i have come here to spend time with the sami people to see how tourism is saving their culture. finnish

lapland is as close as it gets to a winter wonderland. 0ver lapland is as close as it gets to a winterwonderland. 0veri lapland is as close as it gets to a winter wonderland. 0ver i million tourists come here every year in search of the northern lights, santa and his reindeer. the sami are the indigenous people who live in this pa rt indigenous people who live in this part of the world. from the north of norway, sweden, finland and the far north—eastern part of russia. there are around 6000 samis left in this pa rt are around 6000 samis left in this part of finland and here they are known as the inari because they live around lake inari, 250 kilometres north of the arctic circle. i have never been so far north. after landing in the local town, just a

1.5 hourflight landing in the local town, just a 1.5 hour flight from helsinki, landing in the local town, just a 1.5 hourflight from helsinki, i meet my first inari friend. the! welcome to finland. i amjohan. meet my first inari friend. the! welcome to finland. i am johan. look at your outfits! you look amazing! thank you. is this our transport? yes. it will be our transport for this trip. we have so much planned for you. i love that hat. that is the way forward. it is really warm. life here must be quite difficult. there is snow on the ground for seven monthss of the year and the most practical way to move around is by snowmobile. so this is the best way to get there? there is no other way to get there? there is no other way to get there. 0k. way to get there? there is no other way to get there. ok. so this is how iam way to get there. ok. so this is how i am rolling. and you will teach me? yes. these things revolutionised

life here. we got them about 50 or 60 years ago. it made things firies here. what did you use before these? skis. skis and reindeer. old school. normally when you are driving you have your feet in here and your hands on the bar and if you want to go right you pull right, left you pull left. the break we have on the left. this is the panic button. if something happens you just hit that one. i hit that barton and scream? —— button. it is so hard to believe that i am on a snowmobile going across that i am on a snowmobile going a cross la ke that i am on a snowmobile going across lake inari in finland. believe me, there is thousands and thousands of gallons of water. it is crazy. this place is so beautiful. i

was not expecting bad! —— that! around 30 years ago, the inari sami culture was on the verge of extinction. inevitably there has been a drift to the city, to an easier life. traditional cultures experience that lost the world over. but these days, tourism is creating jobs, allowing some young sami to move back home. inari sami culture has been under pressure for decades. in the past, this community it was marginalised and their mother tongue banned from schools. with only 400 sami inari speakers, the language is still threatened. but one man is coming to the rescue, using an unconventional method. rapping.

you are a hip—hop artist and you wrap in your native language, inari. yes. inari sami language. tell me about it. i love hip—hop at the last place i would expect to find a hip—hop artist is in lapland. place i would expect to find a hip-hop artist is in lapland. yes. the middle of nowhere. many people think it is quite weird doing hip—hop gangsta rap in inari sami language, spoken by 400 people. that is the way i am telling about this, this minority in a minority. i like the sound. it is mystical, people do not know it. there are only 400

inari sami speakers in the world. i mean... in the case, what is the average age of your listeners? the most people who speak inari sami as their mother tongue are mostly over 50 yea rs their mother tongue are mostly over 50 years old. 0lder their mother tongue are mostly over 50 years old. older people. and those older people, a day into hip—hop? those older people, a day into hip-hop? i don't think so. but there isa hip-hop? i don't think so. but there is a new generation now. ok. can you spit some bars for us? i am pretty sure that this will be the premiere of bbc of anyone hearing someone wrap in inari sami. we are looking forward to this. inari sami in the house! that is

wicked! i loved it. ifelt it. i was there. my first day in lapland is nearly over. it has been great. i learnt to use a snowmobile which is practical and a lot of fun. tomorrow i head into the forest and before i go into the forest i want to get the correct gear and i need some traditional sami closing. i have heard that there is someone here who can help me out with that. fellow! halo! nice to meet you. i am stefanie. coming in. sami handicraft

is centuries old and dates back to a time when the sami were far more isolated from the outside world than they are today. what are you making? a belt? how long does it take you? it takes me five hours but people who have done at their whole life, it does not take them long. move quicker, stefanie! come on. using wool, atlas, wood and reindeer skin, the sami we've centuries—old patterns, each specific to a particular area orfamily. patterns, each specific to a particular area or family. stefanie was forced to move away to look for work but she has recently returned back to inari and teachers handicraft making to tourists. back to inari and teachers handicraft making to touristslj back to inari and teachers handicraft making to tourists. i got bored. sad in finland. and my grandmother gave me the passion to come here and learn the language. how important is it for you to keep

the tradition going? there are very very few handicraft makers who do this. it is very important for me. it is light, sometimes i think, who would i be if i did not do these things? is a difficult? could i have ago?! things? is a difficult? could i have a go? i don't know... yes, of course. so it needs to be tight? there goes my ribs. this looks so complicated. and that goes up? i think i need, like... four pairs of hands. i go through? there? yes. and then you pull it. and then you have to do that over and over for every row? i'm surprised it only takes five hours. this would take me five days! it is complicated. here are

some gloves for you. how many hours did they take you to make? those ones did not take me long. when you have done it for years that you can do that with your eyes closed. superb. how do i look? you look supercool. still to come: i try my hand at rounding up the reindeer here. so, don't go away! the travel show, your essential guide, wherever you're headed! now, back to my adventure with the

indigenous people here in northern finland. it's —13 celsius, and guess what my friends have got lined up for me? we going to go fishing today. you've been fishing before? i've never been fishing before. well, i have, i've been to the supermarket and looked for different fish on different shelves. a really important question, do i get to use the snowmobile again? guess is! oh, yes! lets rock ‘n‘ roll —— yes! the indigenous people have lived in harmony with nature here for thousands of years. the wilderness around lake nari is virtually on unspoiled, unlike the rest of

europe, which has been largely harmed by companies. fishing is one of the most popular sports for both tourists and locals. their‘s a real emphasis on low impact tourism here, playing a big part in protecting this fragile arctic ecosystem. there are not many places to work around here, not everybody can be a reindeer herd. 0ther here, not everybody can be a reindeer herd. other people are interested in the lifestyle we have. it gives the possibility to earn money and make a living out of tourism. how important is it to you that the saami lifestyle continues and that you can pass it on from one generation to another?” and that you can pass it on from one generation to another? i think about the future, i wonder what i will do when i am grown up, or what my

children will do. i like to have this lifestyle, to remain here. so, fish and potatoes on monday, potatoes and fished on tuesday... wednesday, maybe reindeer bits? then back to fish and potatoes on thursday. it's a great way to keep warm! the real thrill here is trying to catch fish with a rod. can i have a go? there are fish below us, swimming under one metre of ice. i'm keeping warm! well done, well done. it's getting tough! their's layers under here. see, i did all the hard

work! —— there's. under here. see, i did all the hard work! -- there's. the next thing to do is to find out if there are fishes. you could tell me anything andi fishes. you could tell me anything and i believe you! is at freshwater? i and i believe you! is at freshwater? , -- oh, and i believe you! is at freshwater? , —— oh, that's good —— it. with only a handful of shops around, most fish still have to be caught rather than purchased, otherwise nobody would eat. take care of that one, if you see it running, grab it. it's always good to have something to drink with you when you're out here. i need to improve my technique. but i'm multitasking! multiple chances

to get fish. cheers. cheers. cheers. at the moment, nothing is biting, so iam at the moment, nothing is biting, so i am leaving them behind in the hope that they catch something while i go to find an animal that captures the name of everyone who comes to this land. now, this is something i've been looking for two ever since i got here. 0h, been looking for two ever since i got here. oh, this feels really revoked. we are deep in the forest. i've come here because i'm going to meet a traditional saami reindeer herd. he's going to give mejust a little experience of the traditional saami lifestyle. hello! nice to meet you. nice to meet you. welcome. what have you got here? i have got some last two, that is how we catch the

reindeer. —— lassoo. last two, that is how we catch the reindeer. -- lassoo. we may be here for some time! here we go. 0k, mr reindeer. yes! well done. -- lasoo. like many herdsmen here, petri supplement his income with tourism. he takes tourists into the forest to experience living like a herd for a day. i can't even the reindeer, i

can't imagine how had it must be to survive in these conditions. but the saami have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years —— herder. there are more reindeer than people here. reindeer needs of large areas of unspoiled forest to find the little food that is buried under the little food that is buried under the snow. is difficult in the winter. they get their own food in the forest. they did in the snow, they like it on the land. they are coming down, they know you're here! the semi— regional parliament looks after not just their the semi— regional parliament looks after notjust their heritage but also their rights to land and natural resources “— also their rights to land and natural resources —— saami. also their rights to land and natural resources -- saami. if someone come here natural resources -- saami. if someone come here and offered me a good job in the big city, told me, you'd get $1 million every year, i would say, you can take it. fantastic! you're not a millionaire,

but you're a happy man because you've got the perfect office. let's rock and roll. reindeer herding is in his blood. these animals have been crucial to his family for survival for generations, been crucial to his family for survivalfor generations, providing food, clothing and transport. we are surrounded by reindeer. this is so beautiful. look at them! look at them all coming. yelling how many reindeer do you have? how

much money in the bank do you have? 0k, much money in the bank do you have? ok, i much money in the bank do you have? 0k, iwon't much money in the bank do you have? ok, i won't ask how many! it's incredible to think that these animals find any food in these windswept and frozen woods. most reindeer rely on lichen as a food source in winter. petri supplement their diet to increase their chances of survival until the springtime. so, how cold does it get out here? now, it's only —5. so, how cold does it get out here? now, it's only -5. only! three weeks ago, it was —40 four. there is one

weekend where it was —50 one. ago, it was —40 four. there is one weekend where it was -50 one. oh my god. it must be impossible to work... no, no. you have the right clothes!. it's not bad weather, it is the bad clothes! are we going to build afire? is the bad clothes! are we going to build a fire? yes. cool! it's a bit hairy, at times you think they're going to hit you with their antlers. but they avoid you. they're only interested in the food and each other. i wouldn't want to get hit by one of them though. —— them, though. well, i've had an amazing time here in finnish lapland. and this place just gets to you, it has a real rugged beauty. it is the furthest north that i'd ever been to. it

feels like i'm at one with nature. it's been such a privilege to spend time with the saami people. well, that's it for this week. join us next week when... that's it for this week. join us next week when. .. as that's it for this week. join us next week when... as india celebrates its 70th independence anniversary, we set off on a mammoth 2—partjourney from anniversary, we set off on a mammoth 2—part journey from the anniversary, we set off on a mammoth 2—partjourney from the west anniversary, we set off on a mammoth 2—part journey from the west to anniversary, we set off on a mammoth 2—partjourney from the west to the east. i'm on a quest to find out how history, religion and politics have shaped india. and also meet the people who call this intriguing, and sometimes overwhelming country, home. it's going to be an amazing journey. that's next week. if you

wa nt to journey. that's next week. if you want to see what we are getting up to between now and then, why not sign up to our social media feeds? all the details should be on your screens right now. but for right now, be in the huskies here in finnish lapland and all the travel show team, it's goodbye —— from me and the huskies. it's a pretty quiet weather story really into the weekend and the start of next week. 0ne things for certain, it's going to be pretty mild. many places will be dry. i think saturday looks like the driest day of the weekend for most places. that's because england and wales are close to the high pressure. whereas further north and west

there'll be a weather front slowly makes inroads during saturday morning across northern ireland and scotland. i think most of the rain will be light and patchy, but there could be the odd heavy bursts in there, increasing breeze as well. elsewhere it will be dry, some mist and murk and hill fog. these are the temperatures to start saturday morning, 8—11 degrees. so across the north of the uk, then, outbreaks of rain and this will eventually clear through much of scotland, lingering in the northern isles and the north—east, leaving a legacy of cloud and a few spots of drizzle and a little bit of mist and murk. the same too for northern ireland. but for the bulk of england and wales, it should be a dry start to saturday. a lot of cloud around, though, it could be quite grey. we could see a little bit of brightness to begin the morning across the south. temperatures here around 9—11 degrees. that's an improving picture i think across southern and south—eastern areas through the day. we import a little bit of dryer air off the near continent, so the cloud should break up and we should see some sunny spells. that will really boost temperatures up. further north as well,

a bit of brightness across scotland and northern ireland. it's the central slice of the country will see the weakening weather front with outbreaks of rain. double—figure values for all, but we could see 17 degrees across the south—east. the weather looks fine as well for the six nations rugby back home and in italy, with some sunshine and temperatures of 15—16 degrees both in rome and back home. now, as we head through saturday night, this is where we start to see the change. the weather front moves in from the west, pep up that rain. it turns wetter in england and wales. a damp end to the night. sunday morning, it looks like it will be mild but there will be outbreaks of rain, some low cloud and mist and murk. so, sunday is looking much wetter for many places, particularly england and wales. brightening skies, though, further west for northern ireland, maybe for western scotland, into wales and the south—west of england. one or two showers around. a couple of showers around. a little bit cooler and fresher. 10—11 degrees. maybe as high as 12—13 across the south—east. now, the wet weather eventually clears during sunday night. into monday and tuesday, a ridge of high pressure builds in, so it is going be fine and there should be a lot of dry weather around, but

also a lot of cloud. we could see some rain getting to northern ireland and scotland on tuesday because of that weather front. so, quite a benign picture into next week. it will stay mild for many, alot of cloud around. but where the sunshine breaks through, then it'll feel very mild. all i want is the truth to be out there, because it is the truth and thatis there, because it is the truth and that is what people should know. good morning. it's saturday, the 11th of march. the united nations warns that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945 as millions of people face starvation and famine in parts of africa. a crackdown on ticket touts — computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds is to be made illegal with law
