hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. facebook announces it's identified dozens of fake accounts thought to be engaging in political activity in the run up to november 5 us midterm elections. north korea may be building new ballistic missiles — despite warming ties with the us and promises to denuclearise. there's growing tension in zimbabwe, with just a handful of results so far released from yesterday's elections. drama at an aquarium in the us as thieves steal a shark by disguising it as a baby and pushing it away in a pram. we have the story. facebook has announced there is an ongoing campaign to meddle in the us democratic process, identifying profiles and pages it says are trying to influence the upcoming us midterms elections.

the new york times has published the story, quoting facebook as saying eight facebook pages, 17 facebook profiles, and seven instagram accounts — were identified as suspicious two weeks ago. they said "we are sharing what we know today given the connection between these bad actors and protests that are planned in washington next week. facebook has not identified who is responsible for these accounts, but there are suspicions of russian involvement, since the us holds them responsible for a campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election. today the head of homeland security made that clear. two years ago, as we all know, a foreign power launched a brazen multifaceted influence campaign to undermine public faith in our democratic process and to distort our presidential election. that campaign was multifaceted. it involved cyber espionage, leaks of stolen data, cyber intrusions into voter registration systems,

online propaganda and more. let me be clear. our intelligence community has it right. it was the russians. we know that, they know that. it was directed from the highest levels and we cannot and will not allow that to happen again. let's go live to dave lee in san francisco — what exactly have facebook been revealing? i think is significant for two reasons. you have facebook hoping it is taking this problem seriously and methods for detecting this type of behaviour on facebook have improved. it is also significant to say this problem is ongoing. it did not again and end with the 2016 presidential election campaign. it is now very much running into the midterm election. just to get a bit of context, the action that was taken, you mentioned 32 pages and accounts

have been taken down but between that, they managed as many as 10,000 posts and placed 150 different pieces of advertising and that reached around a quarter of a million people, and it was only a few a ccou nts million people, and it was only a few accounts but the impact from what this group, which literally they say are the russians, facebook are hedging their bets on that one, saying they cannot be absolutely sure but from where ever it has come from, the impact has been pretty big, but facebook are pleased that they seem to have gotten on top of this campaign at least. i'm just thinking about 2016 and how the scale of this, this particular segment of what facebook have released, compared to what we are hearing happened in 2016 for the presidential election. yes, there are many parallels to meetjoined and that is how facebook was able to detect this latest campaign. they we re detect this latest campaign. they were able to see patterns of how this group was acting compared to what was going on in 2016 but of course that raises a different worry

doesn't it because if they had been able to detect is because of following up on ideas they had seen already, that would suggest the strategies of these groups changes for the future. facebook may not be particularly well equipped. there are 2.3 billion people on facebook, so are 2.3 billion people on facebook, so 32 pages and accounts in that enormous database so 32 pages and accounts in that enormous data base does so 32 pages and accounts in that enormous database does not seem it much so it is fair to assume there is more of this activity happening andindeed is more of this activity happening and indeed facebook today described as an arms race. in their attempts to keep up with what is going on to find out how this information and misinformation is being spread and what exactly a company like facebook can do about it. i am wondering how facebook actually got to the bottom of these accounts. how they worked out they were fake and involved in this sort of activity and what sort tools they are using that they do not have in 2016? they have really improved their artificial intelligence capabilities. they are also using outside groups to help advise them and that is a critical

pa rt advise them and that is a critical part of this puzzle. a group called the atlantic council helped work out the atlantic council helped work out the patterns. and also of course they invested an awful lot of money and hiring more people to make, to keep an eye on this kind of activity soaked between those three things, they have clearly improved. the question is how much of an improvement and is enough to stop that meddling in the upcoming midterms to the extent we saw before in the 2016 election. thank you very much. staying in the us, remember this man? paul manafort, president trump's former campaign manager, who today went on trial for tax and bank fraud. this is the van believed to have taken him to court in virginia, for the first case brought by federal prosecutors investigating alleged links between the trump campaign and russia. a second trial will follow in september, also thanks to the mueller inquiry, when he will face charges of money laundering, witness tampering, and failling to register as a foreign agent. convicting manafort of one of these charges would give further momentum to mueller‘s investigation,

which has already indicted or secured guilty pleas from 32 people and three companies since the probe started 1a months ago. president trump is still diefiant, today he tweeted "collusion is not a crime, but that doesn t matter because there was no collusion except by crooked hillary and the democrats) !" earlier i asked the bbc‘s anthony zurcher how damaging this could be for donald trump a second one in washington in september in which manafort is charged the first thing you have to remember is that this prosecution isn't directly related to paul manafort‘s role as donald trump's campaign chair. it is related to the lobbying he did on behalf of pro russian ukrainian government officials from about 2007 to 2015. what robert mueller is alleging is that paul manafort received over $60 million in payments, which he brought into the us, using shell companies and then spent on personal items like carpets and suits and real estate and that he did not declare any of that in texas. ——taxes.

they have bank records, they have wire transfers, they have e—mails, all whole host of evidence to support these allegations. now that is not related to the central thrust of mueller‘s investigation, which is possible russian election meddling and ties to trump's campaign but the pressure that this is putting on paul manafort, if they achieve a successful prosecution, and a conviction of him, it could cause him to want to co—operate with other aspects of the investigation or he could be facing a very long prison sentence, so while the thrust of this is not directly related to the heart of mueller‘s probe, it is, it could be a major breakthrough if they end up getting some sort of conviction. well all of this talk of collusion doesn't appear to have affected president trump's supporters all that much. today he flew from washington to tampa, in florida for a ‘make america great again‘ rally. chris buckler was their to meet some of the president's fans. we are here to support donald trump. god bless him for all he has done for the economy. my sons have two raises

and a $1000 bonus. and some of president trump's most loyal supporters had been queuing up outside the venue here in florida from early this morning. they feel very strongly that he is imported in terms of carrying the selection forward and winning the midterms. let's speak to jean. you have been here for a number of hours already. yes. 26 hours ahead of schedule. that is my plan. i like to get here, to give the locals a lot of love and let everyone know in the local town here that the president here and we are ready to rock ‘n roll. i can see from your t—shirt that you have met and hug correct. but what do you think of his latest tweets? asking the question is collusion a crime? does that really concern you in any way? are you concerned if russia did interfere? not at all. you know what i am concerned about? crooked hillary's 33,000 e—mails. that is what i am concerned about. this russia stuff is nonsense. we are over that. 0ur president tweets, he talks to us, we the people, and that is it. that is how it works.

vote counting is continuing in zimbabwe. it's a tight race and both major parties are claiming victory — but as this reuters journalist points out, tweeting "we may have to wait until saturday to find out" with the election commission saying the process may take the full five days allowed under the law. i would like to appeal to you to bear witness for the simple reason that these are harmonized elections. we have three tiers of elections. we have three methods of transmission of these results and that we are doing the best that we can. a senior figure from the opposition party has accused the commission of deliberately delaying results to favour the ruling party. we have won the election. we have collected the results. the results show that we have won. we are now daring and asking and pushing to announce the results. the government is warning election candidates that prematurely announcing results could land them injail. the government is warning election candidates that prematurely as we speak, the electoral commission is announcing the second batch of results and they appear to show that zanu—pf has

taken an early lead. this in the parliamentary vote. it does not necessarily reflect on the presidential election. those results will be announced later saturday. but we saw seeds early on of movement for democratic change of voters celebrating, just about a kilometre or so from here at the party headquarters. they say that their leader has told them that he has won the election. zimbabwe is wading into some very precarious territory right now with that. earlier on, the home affairs minister had warned that it is illegal for any other organisation or institution other than the electoral commission to announce the election results. how much concern is there over these victory declarations? we seem to keep on hearing, given the electoral commission has not definitively declared a winner?

those announcements started very early this morning. soon after the vote counting process was finished and the polling stations. there is a requirement that the results posted outside each polling station so ordinary people, political parties, were already doing their own permutations and coming to their own conclusions. but the electoral commission is warning that false declarations or announcements that are not officially verified could be misleading and there might be tension when political parties celebrate and then the result is contrary. so that really is a concern here. and what about what we are hearing from observers and those monitoring the vote, pointing out a number of irregularities in what they have seen? many of the observers have said that voting was largely peaceful.

the electoral commission itself has confirmed that about 1% of the people that turned up to vote were turned away because their names did not appear on the voters roll. but generally the observers that we have spoken to has said the vote was largely peaceful. we expect tomorrow a preliminary assessment from some of the key institutions including the european union and the american observer mission about how this process has gone. it is very key for zimbabwe to be able to have an election that is credible and free and fair. the world is watching and what happens in this election very much will influence how, whether zimbabwe or to what extent zimbabwe rejoins the international community. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... north korea may be building

missiles, after the promise to the nuclear rise. british gas lost around 270 thousand customers in the first half of this year, according to ian conn, the chief executive of the firm's parent company centrica. centrica has also said that operating profits at its consumer business have fallen by 20% to £430 million. but, mr conn said the rate of customer losses has halved since last year and he hopes the numbers will stabilise. 0ur our goal is to stabilise and then to grow it. what we are seeing is false in our energy supply customer numbers. 0ur

in our energy supply customer numbers. our home services numbers, are british gas engineer accounts have actually gone up in the first half of this year. the first time since 2011. so overall i believe we are now seeing the beginnings of our ability to stabilise customer numbers. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is? facebook announces its identified dozens of fake accounts thought to be engaging in political activity in the run up to november 5 us midterm elections. 0ther other stories from around the bbc newsroom. at least 15 people have died in an attack on a government building in the city of jalalabad in afghanistan. gunmen set off several explosives at the entrance gate and stormed the compound. it's the latest in a string of attacks in the region, most of them carried out by the islamic state group. slovakia has expressed concern that a russian nationalist biker gang close to president vladimir putin has set up a base close

to the capital bratislava. the compound houses old tanks and armoured vehicles. the bikers known as the night wolves are under us sanctions for providing military help to pro—russian rebels in ukraine. former president 0bama and his former us vice presidentjoe biden reunited at a bakery in washington. in a surprise visit at the dog tag bakery they took time to greet the patrons and thank them for their service. the bakery helps train and employ disabled veterans, as well as offering support to military families. protesters for and against abortion are expected to rally map in buenos aires this evening. the national senate there is about to finish discussing whether to legalise abortion in the first 1a weeks of pregnancy. that's before it goes to an historic vote next week. currently its only allowed in cases of rape or on health grounds. let's talk to the bbc‘s americas regional editor candace piette. how far does this bill go? at the

moment, as you said, it goes only in case of an endangered to the woman's life or rape. now they are going to vote to allow abortion in the first 14 vote to allow abortion in the first 1a weeks of pregnancy so this gives a little bit of the criminalization. do we get a sense of who the people gathering outside of congress are as mac is a general slice of the population or is this an issue?m has been really divided argentina society, all sorts of debates over the last few months and all sorts of demonstrations. 0ut there are people wearing green scarves, mostly young women, who have gathered together and are anti—abortion and they have been, they came out of a whole movement in 2010 which is about teaming up with other women, against

anti—violence and violence against women. and then you have got people in blue stars who are conservative, more catholic, and who are a com pletely more catholic, and who are a completely against this legislation so you have got this really divided society. a very conservative and catholic country. the birth place of the current pope. and he has come out and said he is against this legislation. what we expect to happen aunts in the legal process? 0n happen aunts in the legal process? on wednesday, at the moment, we are seeing them at there, listening to the final experts talking, the final orders discussion, discussing the case. and then on wednesday, this will go to commissions to be looked at in terms of the writing down of the law, what they're actually going to vote on. they are going to vote on august eight, next week, and that is going to be a really big day for these divided groups in argentina who have been fighting it out over a debate which is currently, which has

become really a question of looking at life, sexuality, and at the country itself. thank you very much. all eyes are on apple — the world's largest company — as it releases third quarter results. it could be about to hit an historic milestone. it has been edging up and up milestone. it has been edging up and up over the year. standing at about 940 million dollars at the end of today's trading session in new york. key to apple's performance is of course iphone sales — particularly that expensive new model the iphone ten, which has a hefty $999 price tag. well let's get to our business correspondent kim gittleson in new york... i believe we have not quite had the results yet. yes, apple is notoriously late and tend to report

after markets close here in the united states. as you mentioned, we are waiting to get those results and there are two main things that investors will be paying attention to. the first is the average selling price of the company's iphones. the reason they are paying attention to thatis reason they are paying attention to that is they want to know how much of that signature very expensive iphone can or, selling and it indicates how the average price has inked kris was indicates they are selling more than a high—end model and that should please investors. and then the second main thing that many investors are worried about of course is what apple is going to do when it comes to the sales in china. those have been some of the biggest drivers of revenue growth for the company as of late but as president donald trump's trade war heats up many are worried that apple could be caught in the cross hairs so that will be looking for some reassurance from tim cook, apple ceo, when he

comes on to discuss these things. we will watch that closely. thank you very much and we will let you know when those results come out here on bbc news. the appetite for adventure tourism is reaching ever higher peaks , with travel to mount everest now a booming trade. getting there isn't easy and it isn't cheap but that's not enough to stop many keen trekkers going. pamela parker reports. we are finally here at everest base camp and it has taken this eight days to get her. i have to admit, i am feeling a little bit broken. it is physically challenging. but that is physically challenging. but that is also why it is so rewarding. anyone who has been on this track will never forget and that is why the brand everest has built such an economy around. i saw a lot of films about everest so just getting here was a dream of mine. tourism is important of everest

economy. just a few months ago, the local started clicking money from the tourists. for the infrastructures. there definitely are some players in the market that are trying to undercut pricing, the challenge with some of those agencies is the level of reliability and response ability but their tracks. thousands of people are still stranded after a dam collapsed in a remote part of laos — killing more than two dozen people and forcing thousands to flee. the water has reached neighbouring parts of cambodia too — with rivers rising to dangerous levels. it's not the first time a dam collapse has affected the region. last year, a chinese built dam — the new lower sesan 2 dam — unleashed a deluge of water on sesan

in the northern province of stung treng. cambodia has been pursuing the policy of rapid economic development with the help of foreign investment including from its big neighbour, china. but critics say infrastructure projects have displaced thousands of people and damaged the local environment. the bbc s nga pham reports it is to be a thriving community, now this is all that is left. the entire village and surrounding farmland, two km2, has turned into a huge waterworld. since november last year, when the floodgates of the dam we re year, when the floodgates of the dam were close, more than 60 indigenous families in this village were forced to abandon their homes. he has been living for more than a decade, where his family use of fire, and he now

comes to fish. yet he said he does not want to relegate. speaking cambodian. cambodia's government has high hopes once the dam is fully operational. this is one row, in reality, the electric power station that is becoming a operational later this week. it is going to provide energy to the whole country of cambodia as well as export. in the provincial capital, local governor gave us his interview to western media, explaining china's investments. speaking chinese.

he and his family has set up new homesjust he and his family has set up new homes just yards away from the edge of the water. with no access to clea n water of the water. with no access to clean water and power generators, they hope to stay as close as possible to their ancestral land. let us be heard. the government has agreed for them to stay there. however, nobody can be certain whether they will be uprooted once again soon. let's just remind you of our main story. facebook has announced

there is an ongoing campaign to meddle in the us democratic process, identifying profiles and pages it says are trying to influence the upcoming us midterms elections. the new york times has published the story, quoting facebook as saying 8 facebook pages, 17 facebook profiles, and 7 instagram accounts were identified as suspicious two weeks ago. they said ”we are sharing what we know today given the connection between these bad actors and protests that are planned in washington next week. facebook has not identified who is responsible for these accounts, but there are suspicions of russian involvement, since the us holds them responsible for a campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election. i will be back in a few minutes' time with more outside source. hello there. it looked like he is

going to be building, but not for everyone. more for that and adjust the images to let's look at north america. some huge contrasts content across the continent from widespread heat and sunshine in the west to boundary conditions further east. we have got a plume of very moist air moving from the gulf of mexico, generating these thunderstorms and it will be developing day on day in the pre—match the same areas. so an increasing chance of flooding, and reveled levels running high. across the west, it stays dry sunny and hot, from british columbia all the way down to california. we as seen those wildfires burning, which are largely under control now but it stays hot over the next four or five days. but atlanta, for example, thunderstorms every day. south asia, we have seen them exceptionally high amount of rain, across the north and

northeast of india, bangladesh and yemen. it looks very wet here over the next few days. but there will be some shelter spots across southern parts of india and towards the southeast. it should be largely dry and sunny spells further north. much later. cross over to the asian pacific region, take a look at the northeast of china. the korean peninsula and japan which is still under a heat wave conditions. not so much forjapan because we have seen a tropical storm which brought them that much needed rain to the heat wave stricken injapan and also dropping temperatures. that system is what you continue to wind itself up is what you continue to wind itself up and make coast to the coast of china as we head on into the thursday and friday, so shanghai could see some water from this. north, you can see the heat wave continues. across europe, we have got a heat wave building into spain and portugal. more on thanjust got a heat wave building into spain and portugal. more on than just a mumble. you can see the weather front is continuing to further rain, and a drop in temperature, and we've

also some thunder across eastern europe. if i run the sequence of the week, you can see high pressure begins to establish itself across northwestern europe, and still some showery rain across scotland and northern ireland. but look at this. port of spain and portugal we have heat pouring out of the sahara into southern france as well as temperatures here, towards the end of the week, and in the weekend, could be to be high 40s celsius and could be to be high 40s celsius and could be to be high 40s celsius and could be record—breaking for europe. stay tuned. it's a very hot as you can see. even coastal areas are looking pretty hot as well. temperatures potentially in the upper 30s celsius. back home, it is what a bit cloudy, outbreak of rain for later this week further south, high pressure building, it is when to turn sunny and hotter. hello, i'm karin giannone, this is 0utside source.

facebook announces its identified dozens of fake accounts thought to be engaging in political activity in the run up to november 5 us midterm elections. north korea may be building new ballistic missiles, despite warming ties with the us and promises to denuclearise. there's growing tension in zimbabwe, with just a handful of results so far released from yesterday's elections. drama at an aquarium in the us as thieves steal a shark by disguising it as a baby and pushing it away in a pram. we have the story. us intelligence officials say north korea appears to be building new ballistic missiles, despite president trump saying pyongyang no longer posed a threat. unnamed officials told the washington post that there

was continuing activity at the sanum—dong facilityjust north of the capital. us spy satellites captured photos that appeared to show vehicles moving in and out of the facility. here's what our asia pacific editor thinks about the images. what's interesting is that in the past, we've been getting nuggets of information from analysts looking at commercial satellite imagery. but today's news was first robbed in the washington post, that was a military source saying they have evidence that the north koreans were working ona1— to that the north koreans were working on a 1— to intercontinental ballistic missiles at that research centre —— facilityjust north of pyongyang. reuters got a second source from the military saying there was activity at the site. so there was activity at the site. so the washington post source goes a bit further. but this highlights the discord within the united states government, it shows, we know that many within the pentagon are unhappy

with how the trumpet administration has decided to proceed in dealing with north korea. the trumpet ministrations as it is going for the long game, that because of the singapore summit, they didn't come up singapore summit, they didn't come up with a very detailed plan because the trumpet administration really wa nted the trumpet administration really wanted to work on establishing trust and a good relationship with the north koreans. and then they would move forward along the path to need —— denuclearization. many in the pentagon saying that is not good enough, we don't trust the north koreans, and we think we're taking the wrong step. so this information came from the us military, not from commercial satellite imagery, tells us commercial satellite imagery, tells us something about going on behind the scenes. so while the issue of denuclearisation is ongoing, senior generals from north and south korea have been meeting for talks in the demilitarised zone between the two countries to discuss how to reduce tensions at the border. the military talks follow on from a landmark summit between the leaders of the two koreas in april where they agreed to halt hostile acts and work to prevent accidental clashes.

at today's meeting, the head of the north korean delegation urged the south koreans sitting across the table to be forthright in the discussions. i spoke withjenny town from 38 north, a website that uses commercial satellite imagery to analyse north korea's weapons activity, and i started by asking her what she made of these new images. so we have only seen a little bit of the imagery, and it is very difficult to tell what is going on. but it should not be a surprise that activity continues in these areas because north korea never did actually commit to immediate halting of their nuclear missile production and programmes. so the steps that north korea did commit to, they have gone through and fulfilling, but it would certainly have been more surprising to see everything immediately halt without an agreement in place. so more

surprising if they had actually stopped everything right away. so you are not seeing this as a particularly major setback for the trumpet administration? no, this is typical of any country when you are negotiating any deal. the activity will continue as long as the deal is being negotiated, until there is actually ink on paper. so these are all things that have started way before the scene —— singapore summit. is the problem we have, as you mentioned, what was agreed in singapore wasn't specific enough? what will happen over the next few months to get things moving properly? what happened in singapore was really just setting properly? what happened in singapore was reallyjust setting the agenda. and now that actually has to be negotiated, the work needs to be done, and the us really needs to jump done, and the us really needs to jump in and build the mechanism to have an negotiation, because this will not be done with secretary pompeo running to pyongyang wants every couple of months. it will take

a lot of work and effort to really work through the details of north korea's extensive wg —— wmd programme. we heard donald trump right after singapore saying that north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. how helpful is that? north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. how helpful is that7m north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. how helpful is that? it is very unhelpful. her perceptions are based on capabilities, and we have not dealt with the core capability that north korea's nuclear programme. comments like that build unrealistic expectations of what is happening and what should happen going forward, and i think that really needs to get under control. the demonstration needs to have better communication plans, and they really need to put in the mechanism to get the negotiations started. i'm wondering how optimistic you are or otherwise about the prospects of the nuclear raising the koreans and it's a lot? -- peninsula? i'm sure there's a lot of sketches ——

skepticism, and especially until we see actual negotiating on the us side back and have these long conversations about a step—by—step process of going through the denuclearization process. to iran now, where protests are happening in cities across the country against soaring inflation and economic hardship. according to bbc monitoring, the protests began in iran's third largest city, esfa han, then spread to the cities of shiraz, karaj and rasht. these are pictures from social media. that bbc persian has verified. this mobile footage is from karaj, it shows a plain clothes policeman hitting a protestor with some kind of stick. this is more footage of an injured protestor. and these pictures are from the city of esfahan, you can see large crowds marching through the streets. i mentioned that these protests are economic in nature. here's the value of the iranian currency, the rial, against the dollar. you can see that over the last year the rial has plummetted in value.

here's bbc persian's rana rahimpour on how that makes iranians feel. extremely concerned, getting poorer by the day, i speak with people in iran on a daily basis. they keep asking what will happen? they don't know how this is going to unfold. because the value of the iranian currency is going down, their savings are worthless, they're worried about inflation because now many goods will be more expensive, and it will have a domino effect on many other products that the iranian people need for their daily lives. they are extremely worried. how concerned are they about what's going on between iran and the us, this particular exchange over whether iran and the us might meet? donald trump talking about a potential meeting, and iran's response today? it's difficult to understand what people want. 0bviously we've had protests in several cities today, and they have been chanting

against the supreme leader, against the inflation, in support of the previous regime in iran. so clearly they are very upset with the current situation and they are not supportive of many of the policies of the iranian government. are they supportive of negotiations? do they even see it as possible? many of them think it's impossible and will not happen, and many other reactions today confirmed that. and the likelihood of the meeting, as we saw with donald trump and kimjong—un of north korea, what prospects are there that we might see with president rahane pezzella said? so just a few hours ago, the commander of the iranian revolutionary guard reacted to the offer of talks, and he said that the iranian people would never negotiate with the big satan, meaning the united states. he said that president trump is immature, and the iranians would never fall into the same trap that the north koreans

have fallen into. so he was very harsh. the spokesperson of the iranian foreign ministry also said that the americans are not to be trusted him and they said that it seems they are very confused, and there are certain terms and conditions that have to exist for two parties connection to sit down and negotiate. and in his opinion, they don't exist at the moment. and that iran nuclear deal, which donald trump so dramatically pulled out of earlier this year, that is very closely linked to sanctions on iran, and very closely connected the people's economic woes and concerns? exactly. and what's interesting is that the sanctions have not been reimposed yet, they will be reimposed on august but worries about the future, because people have fresh memories of what being under sanctions meant, it was only three years ago that they experienced the harshest sanctions in iran's recent history. —— august seven. so they really know what is about to happen, and that's why they have

lost their faith in the iranian currency, that's why they are trying to change many of their assets and buy us dollars, by land, property, and gold, because they don't trust their own currency any more. that is probably what president trump is after, he wants to make sure that at least the iranian people are putting pressure on the iranian leaders through the economy and protests that we are witnessing in many cities. yesterday on 0utside source we brought you the exclusive undercover investigation by bbc africa eye into the abuse and torture of patients at a number of so—called rehabilitation centres in kenya, all in the name of religion. these are pictures from that investigation, somali men and women are reportedly being sent for treatment for anti—somali behaviour and un—islamic crimes, including substance abuse,

drinking alcohol, smoking, orsimply having a girlfriend. well, following our report, officials at one of the centres in kenya named in the investigation the darushifa centre, contacted us here at the bbc denying the allegations. but today, kenyan police have raided the rehabilitation centre. jamal osman broke the story, i asked him about his investigation. 0ur undercover investigation showed guards violently beating patients and giving them a liquid concoction which makes you vomit and lose your mind, basically. tell us why these people were put in that centre in the first place? why had it been set up? the rehab illness, set up by religious people, because somalis tend to believe and trust religious people, was set up for business reasons. and they tell their community that they would help their wayward children who went against the culture or religion,

who are into drugs or other reasons. so that is what they say they set up, but what we found inside was shocking. and so as a result of your investigation, the kenyan authorities have rated the centre. tell us what happened ? today the kenyan police raided that centre and two others in eastern nairobi. a senior police force told us they watch the programme last night, it was very difficult for them to sit back and wait, so the kenyan police and the kenyan regulatory board that deals with rehab centres met this morning and said they would deal with this issue. and this is a direct result of the investigation you broadcast, this raid was carried out? yes, a direct result, that is what sources were telling us and the kenyan police was telling us. the evidence we presented in our film, the scenes were so shocking, they said they were all personally touched by what they saw, the beatings, the abuse

that they saw, and they had to act quickly. tell us what they found when they went and? what they found was most of the patients who were in there were therefore not drug reasons, but for cultural or religious reasons. therefore they were fine, so they were released to go home. but some of them whom they felt had a mental issues, whether they had the issues before or they develop the mental health issues because of the it abuse, we know. —— we don't know. they were taken to a local hospital for a checkup, and if they are fine, they will be released. if not, they will be treated. and what sort of future do they have, given the centre they were put into and the reasons behind it? we spoke to a couple of people who are rescued today, and they said that this experience will stay with them forever. so i think they would be psychologically damaged, and it is not an experience that they would forget. but hopefully most of them will recover quickly. how could something like this have gone unnoticed up till this point? it has gone unnoticed

because the kenyan authorities say they lack resources, which i don't think is a good excuse to say that. and the community in general also try to keep things under the covers. as a somali, i would say that most people know this is happening, but it's always not talked about, it's kept under the cabin. but when they saw the film, a lot of them said they did not think it was as bad as that. and the centre, will it be completely closed down? that's what the police are telling us, they say that centre will be completely closed down and they will be monitoring if they tried to reopen, they will be dealt with. stay with us on 0utside source, still to come. young people in georgia are using raves as a form of protest against conservative far—right groups and heavy

yeah, 4—5 miles away. this rolled—up wire and the cabinet here show that in this case and cumbria, bt are putting the infrastructure in. but the local people say what comes out of this isn't good enough, so they're putting in their own system, which they say is faster and better. nearby, a not—for—profit venture is feeding fiber—optic cables through and under a field, a coalition of willing landowners is working with volunteers to bring superfast broadband to all of these remote properties. cable is now shooting out of the ground across these hillsides, as the project spreads from farm, to business, to home. it's far better for us to do for ourselves. quicker, less red tape, cheaper, because the landowners are part of the project. the government says ventures like this are part of the broader plan for connecting rural areas. soon, the fibre optic box on the side of the new bold's home will be activated, too, where maybe there'll be a bit

in two popular nightclubs. police said they were cracking down on drug dealing. and that leads us to the second story, a standoff between liberal young people and conservative far—right groups. young people also saw those police raids as clubbers partied as an attack on their values, including freedom of sexuality. they then held a protest, that turned into a street rave. rayhan demytrie has more on what happened and the fallout, and a warning, this report features flashing lights. underneath the football stadium in the heart stadium in the heart of tbilisi sits georgia's biggest electronic music club. this is just one of the few lgbt friendly species, where clubbers are free to be themselves. —— spaces. it's the first big night out here since this happened. in may, hundreds of armed police stormed the club to crack down on illegal drugs. the owners and dozens of others were detained. can you imagine when you

realise in the darkness, it's1am, and there's somebody with machine guns, real machine guns and masks standing next to you and screaming to you? it's not a secret that the clubbing scene is associated with drugs. can you see why the police turned up? so they should target the borders, not the people on the dance floor or the owners or the club itself. georgia's liberal youth saw the police raids as an attack on their values. thousands took to the streets and started a protest that turned into a rave. but soon, the protesters came under attack from far right groups, such as the georgian march. conservative values have

wide support in georgia. after the ravers's protest, tens of thousands gathered for family purity day. established by georgia's powerful orthodox church to counter what it describes as lgbt propaganda in the country. georgia aspires to one day join the european union, and the government here has defended its police tactics. i know a number of raids in berlin clubs and it clubs and stuff like that. when the police are searching for the drugs, it's justified. the club is back on the dance floor.

the tank via a bucket which they use to take her home, back to the aquarium. on her return, miss helen was greeted by a round of applause by staff. let's hear from one of them. we got her back. she's healthy. she appears very healthy. we did not know if we would get her back and so i was devastated when i found it that happened and now that we actually have her here, i am overjoyed. you can see the story of the shark baby on the bbc website. recap on our top story, facebook says it has removed for it —— 32 accounts and pages believed to have been set up to influence the us midterm elections and elections —— in november. see you next time tomorrow. we had a dose of slightly cooler,
