hello, i'm ross atkins, welcome to outside source. we have seen a second day of protests in pakistan after the rape and murder of a six—year old girl. local police say there have been 12 similar murders in recent years. this is footage of the girl being led away and her father has spoken to the bbc. translation: if the police had done theirjob properly, they would have found her as soon as they got hold of the cctv but they weren't interested. the political surprise of the day came courtesy of nigel farage. listen to what he wants. maybe, just maybe, i am listen to what he wants. maybe, just maybe, iam reaching listen to what he wants. maybe, just maybe, i am reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum. at 22 years old, i bought my first house for {6.5 million —— i bought my first house for {6.5 million -- $6.5 million. that is logan paul, he has made huge amounts of money on you tube but they have now cut ties with him, all to do with a video he posted with a dead

person on it. and we talk about the japanese gang person on it. and we talk about the japanese gang boss person on it. and we talk about the japanese gang boss who was tracked down after he took photos of his body covered in tatties. —— tattoos. we starred in pakistan, where riots continue after this girl was raped and murdered. this video shows a large outline of a man and this young girl. she had been on her way toa young girl. she had been on her way to a koran class. she was abducted and she is holding their hand in this second video of the larger man whom you can see outlined. her body was found in a rubbish dump several days after she went missing. they

now‘s father has been speaking to the bbc. translation: it's like now's father has been speaking to the bbc. translation: it's like the world has ended. i was away in saudi arabia and only came back last night. i have no words. if the police had done theirjob properly, they would have found her as soon as they would have found her as soon as they got hold of the cctv but they weren't interested. there is your ree and grief on the streets and it is the same on social media. zainab was abducted in the east of pakistan, ina zainab was abducted in the east of pakistan, in a city called coz and police there are saying 12 similar murders have happened in the past

yea rs murders have happened in the past years and that this suspect is linked to five of them. there is palpable frustration that these murders are continuing to happen. that's what we are seeing spilling out onto the streets. this is some of the footage that has come in to day, whether it be more clashes between police and protesters and attacks on a local government office as well. the latest violence took place after the funerals of the two men who died in yesterday's protests. let's learn more. people are very angry because this is not the first time a child has been abducted, brutally raped and murdered in this city. people are tired of hearing government complaints and the novel strategy that they use, we are investigating and we will find out who the culprit is. it has been many years since the first case claim to surface in 2015.

initially, they said 300 children we re initially, they said 300 children were manipulated and strangled and died, then it came down to only nine and then 13 people were on trial in that case but only two were convicted. all the rest of them were set free because there was lack of evidence, so people are pretty angry because the situation is not under control in kazur, and people are worried about their children, sons and daughters, so zainab is the child of the entire nation. there are two sets of protests going on in pakistan. 0ne are two sets of protests going on in pakistan. one is on the streets and kazur, where people are damaging government and private property. on the other hand, there is a social protest going on with the hash tag justice for zainab, where the entire nation has come together and they

wa nt nation has come together and they want the government to finally take some action. earlier in the day we saw that the government has announced a 10 million pound reward for anyone —— a 10 million reward for anyone —— a 10 million reward for anyone —— a 10 million reward for anyone who gives information about the suspect and promised they would not be revealed, but this our tactics to calm down the protests which have spread all over pakistan. let's head to california now whether death toll is now 17 and eight others are missing. as we discussed, the most affected county is santa barbara and the town which has borne the brunt of this is called montecito. this is an aerial shot of one raid in montecito before the disaster and this is a photo of the same area after it. the difference

is astonishing. you can see the mud for yourself and some of these huge buildings either washed away or buried in mud and debris. as well as these stills, more videos are emerging. we spotted this one which was released by burbank firefighters. absolutely astonishing. that car is not driving, it is being swept down the hill along with huge amounts of water and mud and sizeable rocks as well which we have seen blocking the roads towards the bottom of the hills. the bbc's james cook has said this latest report. turn around! the flash flood is right there! get out of here, go! this was the moment it began. oh, my god, mom! and then panic. close the door! it was a million miles an hour in slow motion, if that makes sense. i clicked in survival gear, survival mode. wake dad up! every second, it is just roaring and banging against the house and the most vicious and violent

sounds you have ever heard. montecito is onlyjust beginning to grasp the scale of the disaster which will bear its name. for this idyllic little town ofjust 9000 people, recovery will be long and hard. this was somebody's driveway. there are three cars destroyed. buried inside that rubble. looking at this house, it is difficult to believe anyone on this street survived, but many did and their stories are remarkable. people walked their dogs through here, there are trails, my kids have grown up riding their bikes. noelle fled with her three children just before the storm. but many of her neighbours did not. two young boys were swept out of their home, along with their mother. in the middle of the night. and the dog is gone. and they are lucky to be fine. it is like a war zone here. there are homes that arejust missing. and i walk down the street and i see balls, and toys, and bicycles and shoes and socks.

and knives and hammers. it looks like people's lives are just washed to the ocean. much of the wreckage ended up clogging the main coastal motorway. the mountains above are scarred by rivers of debris. southern california was once famed for its agreeable climate. these days, it reels from drought, fire and flood. james cook, bbc news, montecito. now, we talked about logan paul last week, a big u—tube star, and he posted a video of himself injapan laughing against the body of somebody who appeared to have taken his own life. today, the company have told us they have cut business ties with him. it's a big decision because he's a serious player, with over 50 million subscribers on

youtube. on facebook he gets about a per post, on instagram about $80,000. for more, first of all, here is gigi isn't it. the video, which we can't show, featured the dead body of a man who appeared to have taken his own life. it had been viewed millions of times before logan removed it from his channel. in a statement, youtube acknowledged it had taken a long time to respond, but that it also had been listening to comments and criticisms. it added that it recognised the actions of one creator could affect the whole community and it said it would soon announce steps to make sure any similar videos were never circulated again. i have made a severe and continuous lapse of myjudgment and i don't expect to be forgiven. i'm simply here to apologise. youtube said that they would put on hold projects with the 22—year—old and that they would no longer feature his channel on the google preferred programme. effectively, lowering his advertising profile with top brands.

logan paul isn't the only one being criticised. anger is being directed towards youtube with questions like, why they didn't take down the offending post initially in the first place, why it took them so long to even issue a statement in response, and why his channel is still up on their platform, allowing him to make money from advertising. to get more information on the financial relationship between youtube and their stars, we talk to oui’ youtube and their stars, we talk to our correspondent. youtube uses its top 5% of stars and it uses adverts on them to target younger members of the demographic that will buy the products that it advertises. and i guess the challenge now is that it's not just the guess the challenge now is that it's notjust the platform, it's a content promoter and a content creator in some content promoter and a content creator in some cases content promoter and a content creator in some cases and its role is starting to evolve? that's the

thing. broadcasters have to adhere to certain rules and youtube doesn't have to do that. they said yesterday they recognise logan paul reached their community guidelines and it's going to review those and ensure videos like the one logan uploaded when circulated again and it's worth noting that logan removed the video, noting that logan removed the video, not youtube. he is a big player on many platforms. can he survive this? 0nly many platforms. can he survive this? only time will tell. we haven't heard from him since the 2nd of january when he apologised. he has declined to do any interviews, so i guess time will tell what will happen. thanks to daniel. now in a few minutes on 0utside source we will talk about plastic pollution. the prime minister of the uk theresa may has made a 25 year plan announcement today to reduce plastic waste. we will get into the details. patients are dying in hospital

corridors and accident and emergency departments in england and wales because safety is being compromised by intolerable conditions, the blunt warning made to theresa may signed by 68 doctors who run accident and emergency departments. doctor has garnered from the royal college of emergency medicine describes the difficulties within the nhs. there is always huge budget injanuary, february, march, what we call winter, but unfortunately in the last few years, we have got steadily worse in terms of the pressures facing not just worse in terms of the pressures facing notjust emergency departments but the rest of the hospital. the reason for that is that we have not got enough beds in our hospitals, our social care funding has decreased that we have got huge challenges. think. what we have been putting forward as a couege have been putting forward as a

college is a range of methods both short—term and long—term to address those issues. this is outside source lies in the bbc newsroom. 0ur this is outside source lies in the bbc newsroom. our main story comes from pakistani, as protests continue after the rape and murder of a six—year—old girl. there are reports that japan has summoned the chinese ambassador in tokyo after a chinese frigate sailed near disputed islands in the east china sea which japan controls, though china also claims them. the burmese military has admitted for the first time killing some ranger midlands. and this is kazuyoshi mura. he is 50

yea rs old and this is kazuyoshi mura. he is 50 years old and he has just signed a new contract, having first signed a professional contract in 1979. now, an unexpected development on brexit today. nigel farage is a mp who did more than most to confirm brexit and today he asked for a second referendum on brexit. it is not a new demand but it is almost a lwa ys not a new demand but it is almost always made by people who want to stay in the eu. my mind is actually changing on this. what is for certain is that the cleggs, the blairs, the adonis is, they will never give up. they will go one whingeing through this process. so maybe, just maybe i am reaching the

point in thinking that we should have a second referendum on eu membership, the whole thing, unless you want to have a multiple—choice referendum that would confuse people. i think if we had a second referendum on eu membership we would kill it off for a generation. the percentage that would vote leave next time would be very much bigger thanit next time would be very much bigger than it was last time and we may just finished the whole thing off and blaircan disappear just finished the whole thing off and blair can disappear off into total obscurity. now, one of the business people who helped fund the leave campaign agrees with this. aaron banks has said today: this is a constipated issue. this is peter whittle, a senior member in the ukip party and he has tweeted: speaking of mr adonis. he has

entered the fray. he is a supporter of stay in the eu. he said: let's hear from the bbc's alex forsyth who has been covering this from westminster. it is a strange alliance we find ourselves looking at here, nigel farage, the man who advocated brexit, pleasing some of the people who want to stay in the eu. it's a little baffling but obviously the motivations are very different here. nigel farage is claiming a second referendum would settle the question and stop what he calls the remainers, those who want the uk to stay in the eu. 0n the other hand, there are those that wa nt other hand, there are those that want the option left open because they think the british public might revisit this had come to a different conclusion. it's worth saying that the opinion polls since the

referendum are not clear what would happen if there was a second vote. some suggest that some people regret the brexit decision, others suggest that some people, even those who wa nted that some people, even those who wanted to remain, nowjust want the government to get on with it. but both sides think that they would win a second time round. what is also interesting is that most of the criticism for nigel farage's comments have come from leading brexiteers, even members of his own ukip party who say this question has been settled once and for all. it's worth mentioning as a final point that number ten downing st are clear on this. they say the british public have decided, we will not be rerunning this fate, there will not bea rerunning this fate, there will not be a second referendum, but i bet that doesn't stop people talking about it. and if you want more analysis on brexit, the latest edition of the brexit cast pod cast from the bbc featuring some of our finest journalists is from the bbc featuring some of our finestjournalists is available right now, just search brexit cast

in any broadcast software that you use. now, let's talk about walmart. it's the world's biggest retailer and it's reacted to the recent tax reform in the us. it's going to increase wages for more than a million of its staff, up to at least a $11 an hour and it is also expanding maternity rights and pa rental expanding maternity rights and parental benefits. there will also bea parental benefits. there will also be a one—off bonus of $1000 but only. you've been there for more than 20 years. remember, we have covered this a lot. donald trump reduced corporation tax from 35% to 2196. reduced corporation tax from 35% to 21%. so, the companies are liking it, some of the employees are liking it, some of the employees are liking it, but i guess it means less money for central government? well, yes, and just to point out actually be same company, walmart, has also today announced that it's going to be closing down some of its stores. it's sam ‘s club chain, to be precise. so that also means that

hundreds of employees will be losing their jobs, hundreds of employees will be losing theirjobs, so you have got a mixed bag of news coming out from the same company today. as far as the bonus announcement is concerned, we have heard similar announcements from other companies, but the big question is, this is a permanent reduction in corporate tax that has been brought in by the new bill. it will mean billions of dollars and in some cases tens of billions of dollars over the course of the future. the amount they are paying their employees today, it amounts to about $400 million. the republican pitch was that this money would come back into the economy in the way that it expand the economy here, so it will create jobs and people's wages are going to go up in a significant way and if that happens, then you could sort of see the government owning war by way of tax.

—— earning more by way of tax. but there are no indications from this particular bonus that's been given and the wage increases, there are many and the wage increases, there are ma ny states and the wage increases, there are many states in the united states where the amount it has been increased to is the minimum wage and a lot of companies were already paying more than that amount. it could also be competition which has forced them to increases wages. thank you for taking us through that. let's switch to south korea because they are considering banning bit queen and other crypto currencies as well. it's justice minister has said there are great concerns regarding these virtual currencies and thejustice ministry is preparing a bill to ban crypto currency trading through exchanges. here is the asia business correspondence. the decision by south korea which has said it is planning to ban crypto currencies such as bitcoins bruited exchanges

should not come as a surprise. south korea has been an crucial source of crypto currencies and many countries around the world have been trying to find ways to regulate them, especially bitcoins. the south korean justice especially bitcoins. the south koreanjustice minister especially bitcoins. the south korean justice minister says virtual currencies like bitcoins are causing the government great concern. this crackdown in south korea comes after many other asian countries including china have also tried clamping down on digital currencies. the authorities there, the government there, is worried about how long investors, regular retail investors, are piling into these currencies attracted by potentially high returns, but regulators have been saying given that these are highly volatile assets, they are also unregulated, no one body oversees them, they are extremely risky investments and as a result should

be approached with caution. now, we need to show you this video from las vegas, part of the consumer electronics show in las vegas. this isa electronics show in las vegas. this is a drone demonstration organised by intel above the blood your hotel on the strip. it's quite something, all preprogrammed as the intel member of staff can explain. everything is preprogrammed. we know exactly how the drains are going to fly. we have positioned the drains so there are1.5 fly. we have positioned the drains so there are 1.5 metres around each other. we know they won't collide. this is a drone built for safety. it is made out of plastic and foam with a p0p is made out of plastic and foam with a pop cage to make sure all the props are encased. interestingly enough, the intel shooting stars 0wen doesn't have any cameras or sensors. it has a really good gps and then it has a barometer and other sensors integrated for precision, but it only has an led

payload. very impressive. now let's talk about plastic waste. as i am sure you know, it's becoming a potent political issue around the world and today, the uk government made its play. the prime minister outlined a 25 year plan, including a further 5p plastic bag charge and the reduction of plastic waste. let's hear by —— star by hearing some of what the prime minister said. its goals are simple, clean air, clean water, pla nts simple, clean air, clean water, plants and animals that are thriving and a cleaner, greener country for russell. together, they add up to something profound. a better world for each of us to live in and a better future for the next generation. i have a number of responses to play you. this is the

reaction of greenpeace. it is policies, not promises we need. we don't think it is decisive or detailed enough. 0ur oceans bear the brunt of our plastic habits to the tune of a truckload of plastic every minute. they can't wait 25 years. we need policies that tackle the producers and manufacturers of plastic, those architects of this culture of throwaway plastic that we have. they need to take responsibility for the amount of waste we produce. next, a spokesman for the plastics industry. a lot of work going on in this space because we wa nt work going on in this space because we want to get all that material back and recycle it. in fact, i was ata back and recycle it. in fact, i was at a company today that could lead toa at a company today that could lead to a breakthrough in recycling in this country. so there's an awful lot of work being done in that space. in terms of biodegradable and compostable is, they offer certain benefits but they are not the

solution to litter. at the end of the day, we have got to stop material finding its way into the wider environment and we've got to get it back and put it to work. for more information on the extent of plastic pollution around the world, you can get a lot of data from the bbc news website. last week on outside source, we covered the fact that huge amounts of plastic waste we re that huge amounts of plastic waste were delivered into the oceans by ten of the world's biggest cities, one of them being the ganges and you can find one of them being the ganges and you canfind a one of them being the ganges and you can find a report all about that. later in the programme with the help of bbc arabic, we will go back to mosul, one of the biggest cities in iraq which last year was recaptured by the islamic state —— from the islamic state. we will be seeing how life is going now. hello once again. if the truth were known, it has been a mishmash of a

day across the british isles. at its very best, there was plenty of sunshine on offer across parts of the south west of england and one or two spots elsewhere, but the truth of the matter is that there was a lot of cloud to be had and some mist and fog lingered on through the course of the day, one of those leaden, january days. there you see on the satellite imagery that there we re on the satellite imagery that there were some decent islands of sunshine. through the evening and overnight, we will find that the cloud will part in one or two locations and that will lead to some fog, a bit like we had last night, and where these guys state —— where the skies stay clear, there could be thrust, especially in the countryside. here we are, friday morning, i think no great issues with fog across the north—western quarter of scotland. as soon as you drift further east or down into the borders, here there could be a bit ofan borders, here there could be a bit of an issue. northern ireland, not so much of an issue. if there was fog overnight, it would be blown

away come the commute in the boarding. quite chilly start in western parts, and this is where we will see the dentist of the fog, at least, pa rt of will see the dentist of the fog, at least, part of east anglia, of the south—east. i don't think it will be much of an issue here. a lot of dry weather to be had on friday, there will be breaks in that cloud, but again, it will be another leaden sort of day. as we go on into saturday, we freshen up those winds which will help with this fog situation that we have had the past couple of nights in a number of locations but it's just freshening up locations but it's just freshening up that wind ahead of a couple more weather fronts, with a wet start to the day in northern ireland on saturday. taking the prospect of rain into western scotland, western england and three wales as well. from saturday into sunday, join the dots. that's the old weather front,

a new one showing its hand across the north—western quarter of the british isles. not a bad day on sunday, not the coldest of days at all, make the most of it, because when that weather front comes through during the course of monday, the rest of the week is much colder and it could turn more wintry. these are some of the main stories on the programme. a second day of protests in pakistan after the rape and murder of a six—year—old girl. the local police say there have been 12 similar murders in the last two yea rs. 12 similar murders in the last two years. this is footage of the girl being led away and the father spoke to the bbc. if the police had done their job to the bbc. if the police had done theirjob properly they would have phones are sinners they got the cctv but they were not interested. nigel farage is campaigned to get the kyoto of the european union for yea rs, kyoto of the european union for years, this is what he said he would like to happen. just maybe i am reaching the point of thinking we

should get a second referendum. and a special report from mosul going back to a city that what must horrific battle between islamic state and a us coalition last year. before we do anything else let's talk about the iran nuclear deal because there was an important meeting today, and if the treat said anything to go by, the talks went well. he says, there is a strong consensus in brussels today and iran is complying, a reference to the many things they are obliged to do as part of this nuclear deal. in this picture, shared that the meeting, you'll notice the distinctive haircut of the uk foreign secretary boris johnson. distinctive haircut of the uk

foreign secretary borisjohnson. it was a major meeting of eu foreign ministers. it was arranged by the eu's foreign affairs chief and the timing is no coincidence. donald trump has long been a fierce critic of this deal and on friday he will decide whether to extend sanctions relief for ran. top officials say they expect him to impose some form of new sanctions. european union remains committed to support the full and effective implementation of the agreement, including to make sure that the listing of nuclear related sanctions has a positive impact on trade and economic relations with iran including benefits for the any union people. the agreement has allowed for deeper co—operation and continuous dialogue with iran on all issues. donald trump wants to either amend this deal or withdraw from it, bear that

in mind when you listen to the uk foreign secretary boris johnson. in mind when you listen to the uk foreign secretary boris johnsonlj wa nt foreign secretary boris johnsonlj want to stress testing conclusion that i don't think anybody has so far produced a better alternative to the jcp or a as a way of preventing the jcp or a as a way of preventing the iranians from going ahead with the iranians from going ahead with the acquisition of nuclear capabilities. i don't think anybody has come up with a better idea and it is incumbent upon those who oppose it relate to come up with that better solution, because we haven't seen so far. and in washington this is the response of a democratic senator to donald trump's imminent decision. i am hopeful he will take seriously the advice of his national security adviser and secretaries of defence and state in the interest of our vital european allies and he will recertify continued participation. i

allies and he will recertify continued participation. lam allies and he will recertify continued participation. i am also hopeful he will announce new sanctions that we can impose on their ballistic missile programme and human rights violations or on their support for terrorism in the region, and there is nothing we will have enacted within the next few days. we need to continue this journey with our european partners of constraining the nuclear weapons programme. we can and should work together to address some of the future challenges that we will face. and when donald trump makes that decision we will tell it to you one bbc news. last year on outside source we covered the fierce battle of mosul. eventually recaptured from the islamic state group but the remains huge doubts over how many civilians died. amnesty international is now estimating that figure could be up to 10,000, ten times higher than the official estimate. this used to be the beating

heart of the old part of mosul. even for a country which has seen many battles over the years, the destruction here is unprecedented. months of fighting to drive so—called islamic state out of its main stronghold in iraq has left large parts of the city in ruins. still, corpses of is fighters are lying around, buried. and for survivors like ahmed, the struggle has not ended. translation: this is the city that i grew up in, and we were proud of it. it's a shame. look now. nothing is left of it. especially in the west side. it's completely devastated. he has lost eight members of his family here, but he still hasn't been able to find and barry their bodies. translation: is came

to my family's neighbourhood and asked them to leave, and replaced them with their own families. the first one who died was my brother—in—law, when it was time to bring water from the river. he died from mortar shelling, then my sister—in—law, who just fell sick. at that time, is were removing people from house to house, so they didn't want to have someone ill with them, so they killed her and threw her body into the river. those who survived the air strikes remain marked as possible is sympathisers. for some, it's impossible to return to their homes without an authorisation signed by the new rulers. translation: this is a dilemma. these people should go through security checks to make sure

they are not with is. there are not very well— known is members who we can only find through the people here. as local people know their faces. so we need first to identify them before we are able to let these people go back to their houses. the task to rebuild mosul and clear the city of this rubble will take years. driving is fighters out of the narrow backed alleys of the old city took many months. these same streets and buildings, with plenty of remaining death traps, are now proving to be the most difficult to clear for iraq's defence units. in some parts of mosul, the smell of death is pungent, even after months since the battle for the city ended. the bodies of many residents are still trapped under the rubble. and there are people still looking to find out what happened

to their lost loved ones. efforts to rebuild mosul have started. and the new authorities are in the process of clearing all visible destruction. but the bigger underlying scars and wounds will take much longer to heal. police in thailand have arrested this japanese gang boss on the run for 15 years. he was found after pictures of his tattoos went viral. ata pictures of his tattoos went viral. at a police station he took off his top and showed his entire upper body, cover them tattoos. 0ne top and showed his entire upper body, cover them tattoos. one other detail was tattoos's little finger,

thatis detail was tattoos's little finger, that is a punishment often used in the gang he operated in. this man was a member of the yakuza crime syndicate in japan, similar to was a member of the yakuza crime syndicate injapan, similar to the italian mafia, although interestingly they are tolerated as legal in japan. this interestingly they are tolerated as legal injapan. this particular gentleman, shigeharu shirai, was wa nted gentleman, shigeharu shirai, was wanted for the murder of a rival gangland boss. he has turned up in a sleepy village in thailand. a p pa re ntly sleepy village in thailand. apparently every day he would go to the market to get food and play chess with the locals and he would like to have his extensive tattoos photographed. that is what caught him outand photographed. that is what caught him out and these were posted on the internet and went viral, and seen thousands of times, and spotted by

the japanese authorities. these tattoos marked him out as a yakuza member. these gang members often have elaborate body art, often painfully put on them. he also had a missing part of his little finger on his left hand, and that the time authorities were notified and they went and arrested him and he has been detained and admitted to being pa rt been detained and admitted to being part of the yakuza crime syndicate but not yet admitted to the murder he has been charged with. for more information, the bbc website is where to go and you can find this story and hundreds of others. six years ago, these young syrian girls were horrifically injured when a shell at their home exploded. they went to georgia where there have been treated at a special hospital. caroline powell a first met them in

late 2012 and recently she went back to see how they got on. she beer remembers the day six years ago when a shell slammed into their bedroom. —— bierley remembers. her hands were so damaged she needed help to feed and dress herself. she was so distressed by her appearance she could look in the mirror. her sister rahaf was also badly burned but today they were on their way to school. it has taken immense strength and courage and countless operations to get to where they are now. this was the two in syria before the war. we saw them

receiving surgery in georgia, where the family fled for treatment. two yea rs later the family fled for treatment. two years later she had to wear this mask to help another skin graft heel these days they spend much more time in school than in hospital. syrian refugees, in the afternoons and the kernels love it. —— girls. amma has had to get used to how other children reactor. they are teachers worked hard to get

their classmates to accept them. she admires amma's bravery. her parents worry about the social stigma they are daughters will face as they grow up, will life with their injuries be harder as young women. when the children draw for us, amma's first pictures of her dream house and then she draws a mosque. but rahaf

but ra haf has but rahaf has now been discharged from msf's hospital. amma is waiting for more surgery but with all the conflict around the middle east the hospital is inundated with new cases and the waiting list is long. the most important global stories, we have heard from jordan and pakistan in the uk and us, next on the programme, back to tunisia because more than 600 people have now been arrested during the anti—austerity protests. we spoke about this earlier in the week and for the last three nights they have been demonstrating not just three nights they have been demonstrating notjust in the capital but at least four other cities, but to see what happens tonight we know there are big calls

for protests on friday. anger, dissent and the frustrations boiled over into this. a public bin set ablaze on the outskirts of tunis. police firing tear gas at demonstrators and also reports of looting. elsewhere, there are reports of a national security building set alight, some 2000 soldiers since the clwyd in several cities and towns. security forces have now arrested over 600 people across the country this week, they are accused of sabotage and bet but some demonstrators accuse the police ofa some demonstrators accuse the police of a harsh response. 0ne protester was killed in clashes on monday. we would like to send a message to the people protesting peacefully. no matter what the government does its

top priority is improving the economic situation of the people and returning to them trust in the country and its institutions. this isa country and its institutions. this is a starkly different scene from what tunisians witnessed overnight in the outskirts of the capital as well as cities and towns across country. there is a heavy police presence and weird in the heart of the capital tunis. how did tunisia get here? in number of factors combined, the looming deficit, a ha rd combined, the looming deficit, a hard tourism industry since 2015, and some would say the government is also lacking a comprehensive economic reform plan that crucially does not affect poorer sections of society. in the capital, anger with politicians and how they are handling the economy but also weariness that instability protests can cause. the protests can be

peaceful and the price hikes are real and the cost of living but we can't treat these issues like this when criminal gangs come out at night. the price hikes are problematic but the youth need to be aware today there are people taking advantage of the instability to achieve negative things. they are with them, fear with the people who took to the streets spontaneously. where are we headed to? the trust that officials are looking for is difficult to come by these days. it has been a painful economic germany for tunisians over the years as they try to engineer a path for a smoother ride. this is the global head of the world health organisation, the first african to hold that post, and he has been talking to the bbc, seeking

to emphasise how vital it is to detect disease epidemics hourly. this is some of the interview. the are some improvements but the weakness is still out way, so we are still vulnerable. we have to really tighten up. that is why we are now building on what was built before in order to have a very responsive system. sudden outbreaks of disease are common in africa and if we take madagascar is one example. last august that was how it by pneumonic plague. this was the world health organisation's report on that, and bought 2500 cases and over 200 died but if you read the whole report, what they are saying is this is an example of how an outbreak has been successfully contained. he and his wife. the response was really good.

—— here is why. all parties were mobilised, but the most important thing is that the government itself contacted quickly and mobilised support. it moved quickly so the credit goes to them. this is a collaboration. they have to work together because the world health 0rganisation does not have the capacity to be any chant every place across the world, so they have to depend on the countries and ngos, msf, and they came and criticism during the break of ebola, but the who took time before they admitted there was an outbreak and by that time it had really spread across three countries, so those were hard

lessons to learn and that is what the director general was saying. there are still a lot more that needs to be done. they are making improvements but not yet at the position where they can confidently say that they will be able to deal with an outbreak of the nature of ebola that we saw in the west african region, as effectively as it should be dealt with. and as we were saying we have an african in charge of the world health organisation for the first time, is that making a difference to the way it operates?” asked him his priorities in terms of dealing with health because across the board, africa has a disproportionately higher disease burden compared to the rest of the world and that the same time the health systems are relatively weaker. the countries are some of the poorest in the world, so they have so much against them, but the new director general says that his

top priority is africa and he has already sent up a strategic plan in how to improve the health care systems in africa. 0ne how to improve the health care systems in africa. one of the key things he is focusing on is universal health care coverage. we are seeing already success stories and bland and ghana but he would like to see it across all the 54 countries. and he has got that strategic plan but does he have the money to put it in place? that is the big issue and the world health 0rganisation constantly has to go back to the donors but also working with the countries to try to encourage them to spend more money in their health care systems. this isa in their health care systems. this is a continent where even heads of state do not have confidence in the health care. we saw four african heads of state going abroad last yearfor heads of state going abroad last year for health care and bat is a huge statement on the nature of

health care that people can receive. nigerians are some of the wealthiest africans we have and they spent more money seeking medical treatment abroad than the government spends per year on health care for that country, so there's a lot that isn't working in africa and they are having with many other partners, including no the who, to try to focus on what really helps all the people. health care is that the core of development. this is quite a story to begin with. police in italy are investigating people behind an exhibition of paintings by modigliani, because it appears most of them are straight. it opened in march in genoa but then had to close injuly because it

became clear something might be up and six months of investigations have discovered something definitely is up. modigliani's style is instantly recognisable. he would paint elongated, languid figures prefera bly elongated, languid figures preferably doing nothing more serious than sitting in a chair. he himself died in 1920 but his works have continued since then painted by forgers hoping to cash in on his popularity and those forgeries have got everywhere. it now turns out that almost an entire modigliani exhibition held in genoa last year was made up of six. —— fixe. art historians believe 20 of 21 on display were not done by the artist himself. suspicions were raised at the time of the exhibition and it has been under investigation by both experts and the arts police. the

carabinieri have impounded the pictures and put under investigation the curator. the works themselves once proved to be thick will be destroyed and one consumer rights organisation in italy says that everybody who paid money to go and see that exhibition last year should now be given a refund. thanks to james for wrapping up today's edition of outside source. since we had that little run of named storms things have been quiet. you wouldn't expect that spell of white weather to last through any great length of time. a quick look shows there are signs of a change it

towards the western side of the british isles but before that arrives we still have quite look to the whether meaningful, not necessarily where it has been a recent nights but just necessarily where it has been a recent nights butjust that risk. they will be some sunshine across western areas and a speckling of showers but not much more than that. some may stay dry all day. just because we see more than the way of a breeze from friday into saturday, the fog risk is much reduced, but we are going to replace it with another type of weather and that comes in the form of an active weather front, could be quite a bit of rain across northern ireland initially and then swinging into the western side of scotla nd swinging into the western side of scotland through wales and on to the western side of england for the least, not much in the way of sunshine, and at its thickest, the cloud generating the odd show in a burst of rain. that same weather

front is making heavy weather of getting further to the east and it wea ke ns a ll getting further to the east and it weakens all the while its advance towards that early of high—pressure, more of the band of cloud with the odd spot of rain come sunday. looking to the north—west, a more active weather system brings another speu active weather system brings another spell of wet and windy weather initially into the north—west but as we get on through monday, no escape. you will at some point see that speu you will at some point see that spell of wet and windy weather wherever you are spending the day. some doubt at this range as to quite how quickly that remote getaway from east anglia and the south—east, no more of the south—westerly breeze as ones that front is through, look where the wind is coming from. trace the isobars back and they are away to the western side of iceland and up to the western side of iceland and up towards the arctic. there will be a different feel to the days as we move from monday into tuesday,

wednesday, thursday, and perhaps as far ahead as friday, so the early pa rt far ahead as friday, so the early part of next week, we are very much in the cold side of the jet stream, plenty of wind and the top two thirds of the british isles the showers will be when today and the snow begins to accumulate. that will do us some late monday onto tuesday, wednesday, into friday, but the end of the week the low pressure the way to the north—west of us. the early pa rt to the north—west of us. the early part of the weekend that may slip to the north—west continent and that means a change in the shower distribution and that is a brief interlude. sunday and the first part of monday, quiet again for a time and the low pressure goes back to when we have seen it for a few days with the high—pressure well away towards the is yours and that leads us towards the is yours and that leads us again with a noticeable flow coming in from the west, just north

and west, so that is some way off but next week will be often when they, wintry showers and the chance of coming cold with time. goodbye. patients are dying prematurely in hospital corridors — the stark warning to the prime ministerfrom dozens of senior doctors. they've written to theresa may saying safety is being compromised at some a&e units in england and wales, and conditions are at times intolerable. there is a clear emergency and what a number of other observers have clearly described as a crisis. the doctors' warning comes with a&e waiting time levels in england and wales amongst the worst since records began. also on tonight's programme. dealing with plastic pollution — the government promises to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste by 2042. still searching for survivors — rescue dogs are brought in to look for the missing, after california's deadly mudslides. a mixed bag of christmas results on the high street —
