hello, i'm krupa padhy, this is outside source. pope francis condemns what he calls the "atrocities" of child sex abuse and church cover—ups — in an unprecedented apology to the world's roman catholics. a break in the monsoon rains in india allows rescuers to step up their efforts. more than 350 people have died in the worst flooding in kerala in a century. emotional scenes as dozens of people from north and south korea are briefly reunited — many hadn't seen their families in more than six decades. also on the programme: how the us—china trade war is affecting the price of lobsters. we start our coverage looking at the impact of tariffs and import duties on people's lives. pope francis has written an unprecedented letter condemning child sex abuse and subsequent cover—ups in the catholic church. it's addressed to the world's 1.2 billion roman catholics. in the 2,000 word letter

the pope describes the "heart—wrenching pain of these victims" that were "long ignored, kept quiet or silenced". he also says the vatican did not act in a timely manner and showed no care for the little ones. "we abandoned them", he writes. this comes after a landmark investigation found more than 1,000 identifiable minors had been abused by 300 priests in the us state of pennsylvania. if you would like to read pope francis‘ letter in full it can be found on the bbc news website. i spoke to the bbc‘s religious affairs producer, callum may about what we can expect to happen now. simply because it's notjust america, there is this kind of gathering the storm of revelations of past abuse in the catholic church that was covered up. notjust in the united states. also the pope arrives

in ireland on saturday. he is at a catholic meeting that takes place every three years, called the world meeting of families and the talk and worship will focus on the family. there were two american cardinals who were due to appear and speak at meetings, they were there to talk about protecting children from abuse. and they have both now said they will not appear at the meeting in ireland on friday. there is a gathering sort of feeling that the pope is going to have to say something specific when he appears in ireland at the weekend. it is not just words, what about action, what measures can we expect to see against these individuals. that is what we're not sure about. that is what we're not sure about. that is what survivors of abuse have been saying. they want to hear more than words and condemnation of the abuse, because abuse has been going on for

a long time in the church. the survivors think the pope has missed a trick to carry out some sanction against those who were responsible for abuse orfor covering against those who were responsible for abuse or for covering it up. let's put it into the wider context, it stems from that grand jury report i mentioned detailing seven decades of abuse in pennsylvania. what did they find? they found there were 300 clergy involved in the abuse of a thousand children. the abuse goes back 70 years and most of the abuse has been dealt with, it is in the past and is known about and the number of current cases is very small. but it has thrown into focus the problem of abuse in the united states. it is the worst report for the american church since the boston die sis produced a similar set of

admissions in 2002. there are fears other states could carry out similar investigations and find similar things. that is that likely? it is possible. no attorney general in any state has said anything, apart from new york where, the attorney general said she is going to pass responsibility to district attorneys and see what evidence can be found. let's cross to india now. the rains have eased in kerala, giving disaster response teams, the chance to get to the worst hit areas. 22,000 people have now been rescued — by boat and by helicopter. the deathtoll though, has gone past 350. the numbers needing help is massive. three quarters of a million are now in shelters and there's growing concern about the threat from waterborne diseases. india's government has pledged immediate help. from cochin — kerala's commercial capital — yogita limaye sent this report. as the water recedes,

people want to go back home. but it isn't dryjust yet. praveen and his family left their house in thrissur five days ago. today, he has returned to take a look. but the water level has only gone down a few inches. these low—lying areas, there are many pockets like these where you still find water. it is completely cut off from the mainstream. for us, it is going to take at least a week to kind of get back to complete normalcy. but some don't have a house to go back to. chandra's home has been swept away. he is a tailor and struggles to make ends meet. "i don't know what to do," he says. more than half a million are in need. and here supplies are coming in that could help. bags of rice, clothes, water — it is all being stocked at this indoor stadium, where it is sorted and re—packed before it's sent off.

hundreds of people have volunteered, many of them students. people have just lost everything that they have earned over their entire lives. now this is going into a house, they do not know if it'll stand. or it will crumble on their heads. ijust wanted to do something, do anything at all, rather thanjust sitting at home, watching the news. relief efforts are going on at a frantic pace. this lorry behind me has come in from the neighbouring state of karnata ka, bringing boxes of bottled water. they are taken to the centre, and from here they will be dispatched to areas across kerala. people are waiting for it to arrive. it will help them get through the next few days. many still don't know what is left of their homes and belongings. yogita limaye, bbc news, kerala. 0ur correspondent salman ravi has been to thrissur in kerala

where the local population has paid a particularly high price. this is the only place in kerala that has witnessed the maximum number of casualties. i9 that has witnessed the maximum number of casualties. 19 people have been killed and the last body recovered on sunday, when rains lashed the region. still the work goes on. many houses have been reduced into debris. anxious relatives are here, many families have been wiped out. some survivors have been wiped out. some survivors have been wiped out. some survivors have been moved to different relief camps. ican have been moved to different relief camps. i can show you one of the visuals of a motorbike that was washed away. you can imagine the extent of the krnt in which the water came —— current in which the water came —— current in which the water came —— current in which the water came and lashed the area, leaving another house ran sammed. —— ransacked. this road which are stand is actually shut down, because most

of the highways are still not functioning. preventing supplies from reaching the towns, especially diesel and vegetables. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come: what's at stake in a us/and china trade war? we look at what impact trade tariffs will have on the world economy as they come into effect this week. a man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of police and members of the public in westminster. salih khater, 29 from birmingham, is accused of driving a car at pedestrians, cyclists and police officers before crashing into a security barrier. helena lee sent this update from westminster magistrates court. salih khater appeared at westminster magistrates‘ court, it was a short hearing, lasted just under six minutes or so, which is typicalfor a defendant‘s first appearance at a

magistrates‘ court. he was in the dock, he was asked to stand by the magistrate. he was asked to confirm his name, his age and also his address. he was then asked to confirm his nationality. to which he responded british. then the prosecutor formally read out the charges in court to him. one charge is attempting to murder members of public and another charge attempting to murder police officers. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is: pope francis has written a letter to the world‘s 1.2 billion roman catholics — apologising for what he calls the "atrocities" of child sex abuse and church cover—ups. here are some of the stories being covered by our language services: bbc arabic is covering the beginning of the hajj pilgrimage in saudi arabia.

more than two million muslims from around the world are taking part in what is one of the world‘s largest annual gatherings. fourjapanese basketball players have been sent home from the asian games for allegedly paying women for sex in jakarta. the games opened in the indonesian capital on saturday. the players have apologised for bringing "disgrace" to their nation. that story from our indonesian service. and one of the most read stories at bbc.com is from italy — hardcore fans of lazio football club say they want women banned from the front rows of their part of rome‘s stadio 0limpico. they say the stand is a sacred place — where women should not be admitted. today greece emerged from the biggest bailout programme in economic history. although european institutions hail it a success, many greeks have found little to celebrate after nine years of austerity mandated by the eu and other creditors. european economics commissioner

pierre moscovici was one of the architects of the programme, here he is speaking earlier. i know that these past eight years have been an exceptionally tough period for the greek people. because this story has not only been about the billions of euros, lent to greece to see it there through the crisis, but about the millions of greeks who have each lived through their personal crisis. the retirees who saw their pensions slashed, the workers who lost theirjobs, the family who lost their homes, the pa rents family who lost their homes, the parents who saw their children leave the country for a better future elsewhere, because they couldn‘t find it in greece itself. the young people pierre moscovici refers

to there are amongst the worst hit by the greeek financial crisis. this article by the bbc‘s david molloy explains why, since the financial crisis began, half a million young people moved abroad looking for work. last year, more than four in every ten young greeks were stilljobless. even so, key figures in the eu are celebeating, here‘s a tweet from european council president donald tusk: ‘you did it! congratulations to greece and its people on ending the programme of financial assistance. with huge efforts and european solidarity you seized the day.‘ here is a different view, from yanis va roufakis, former greek minister of finance who resigned shortly before the third bailout was agreed in august 2015. if we had emerged with our independence financially it would be fantastic news. but it didn‘t. we

have moved from the third bailout to the fourth bailout and the eu decided not to call it a bailout. but we are still a colony. you have a quadruple ba n kru ptcy still a colony. you have a quadruple bankruptcy in greece. we have banks that are insolvents. 52% of our loa ns a re that are insolvents. 52% of our loans are not performing. 52%. no bank can be thought of as solvent. we have insolvent companies and insolve nts we have insolvent companies and insolvents families. everybody owes to everybody else and no one can pgy- to everybody else and no one can pay. that has been the situation since 20 ten. all that has been happening is that the european creditors and the international monetary fund are extending the ba n kru ptcy monetary fund are extending the ba nkru ptcy of monetary fund are extending the bankruptcy of the future by means of

more loans and easy payments at the expense of making the crisis worse. in all, greece has received 289 billion euros since the bailout programme began back in 2010. at that time, as mark lowen reports, the greek capital athens was the scene of major protests. from 2010 greece was gripped by crisis. as austerity hit, despair turned to rage, running battles consumed is central athens. greece was collapsing and risked taking the eurozone with it. a huge bout of tear gas has come up... i covered the story as the athens correspondent and have come back as greece finishes its bailout. this once famous tile producer was an iconic bankruptcy, as greece

crashed. but from an economic waste land the country is slowly building itself back up. greece is beginning to hum again. after the factory closed, the workers took over part of it. now producing greener products. soap and cleaning liquid. starting again bottom up. a met aforefor greece‘s recovery. translation: when bankruptcy hit, we contemplated suicide a lot. when you reach the end of the cliff you either fall or grip reach the end of the cliff you eitherfall or grip and reach the end of the cliff you either fall or grip and hold reach the end of the cliff you eitherfall or grip and hold on. so we struggled not just eitherfall or grip and hold on. so we struggled notjust for ourselves. this saved our minds and our lives. this saved our minds and our lives. this country has overcome so much adversity in its long history. the greek spirit is rising again, helped

by record tourist numbers. beneath the idyllic scene lie wounds that will take long to heal, but a ray of hope is beginning to flicker here. there is still precious little optimism to be found in greece. not only must they pay back the three bailout loans, i want to pull up this graph — it shows how bad unemployment still is, at the top there — that‘s shows rates for 15 to 2a—year—olds in greece, this red line down here, is the eu average. there is still much more recovery needed, as carine torbey explains. it isa it is a very normal day here in athens. nothing indicates that today isa athens. nothing indicates that today is a milestone in greece‘s recent history. perhaps because despite all

the talk about the success of the bailout, many people here don‘t feel they have many reasons to celebrate. the cost of the bailout programme has been too heavy to bear. pensions have been cut. salaries have been slashed. and heavy taxes have been imposed. this has caused the whole industry to shrink by 25%. in the past years many took to this square to protest against the austerity measures. today, things are calm. but the mood is one of resignation, or perhaps despair. there is little convince that the to convince people here that the future is going to be any better. all across the bbc this week, we re looking at global trade. and that s because $16 billion in tariffs on both chinese goods going into the us and american goods being imported into china are due to take effect. butjust how much of an impact could this have on the world economy? last year alone the value of goods

and services traded around the globe was worth more than $20 trillion. now of that, $635 billion was trade between the us and china. the international monetary fund has warned that rising trade tensions between the us and the rest of the world could cost the global economy 430 billion dollars. well to find out what this means for american businesses, paul blake went to meet the owner of one of the firms affected. now to many trade wars can sound like a lot of hot air. but forjohn a boat builder, it could sink his business. we dodged the first bullet, we got grazed by the second and gota bullet, we got grazed by the second and got a broadside from the third list of tariffs. almost everything we sell was affected. that third list can take effect as early as

september. as products like this boat a made in the us and sold to china. a tariff is a tax and it is a tax not on chinese, but a tax on americans who trade with china. and any business that faces an extra ex—pension has no choice but to —— expense has no choice but to pass that on to our customers. after months of anxiously watching the trade war escalate, john and many other business owners are hoping president trump can dial back the rhetoric. paul blake can join us live now, he‘s on the waterfront in new york. paul, as we‘ve just seen you ve been people are affected by the tariffs so far, what are people telling you? it is not just it is notjust companies like that

boat—making company, we have been talking to companies that are in favour of the tariffs. we went to cincinatti and saw a tyre company thatis cincinatti and saw a tyre company that is complaining of unfair competition from east asian companies, saying companies from china are dumping tyres on the us economy and that is undercutting their business and they‘re pushing their business and they‘re pushing the president and the us congress to impose new tariffs on china, particularly on tyres. that is part of $200 billion tranche of tariffs that could come into effect next months. what about reactions to the tariffs that are currently pending? so they‘re getting through processes , so they‘re getting through processes, there has been over 1,400 comments submitted to the us government from businesses and the reuters did some analysis and said they‘re against the imposition of new tariffs on imported goods from china. that period is stilljoen

going. ongoing. the earliest the ta riffs going. ongoing. the earliest the tariffs could come into effect is september. i believe a chinese delegation are on the way too the united states. what can we expect from that? there is a delegation coming to meet with some trump administration officials to some sort of agreement. in terms of what is to be expected, it is difficult to say. the expectation right now that there will be talks and no grand outcome. the us chamber of commerce, which is a right—leaning think tank and in favour of probusiness policies, is saying the trump administration does not have a coherent strategy nor the negotiations. so some pessimism going into the negotiations that are set to place later this week. paul, thank you. staying with trade, china is pursuing a grand strategy for building up its domestic

economy, to enhance its ability to produce exports. the initiative is referred to as "made in china 2025". robin brant filed this report from beijing. addressing the country‘s top scientists, china‘s leader, xi jinping, talked of self—determination. he wants china to make its own civil aircraft and make its own electronic robots. vi microshows china‘s push for technological advancement, particularly in sectors it believes it can dominate. this field is security, surveillance. the firm was set up with the help of government

money. the biggest client for its chips is the government. but it says the rest of the world has nothing to fear. i don't hear any government how they think about this. inthis is great technology. made in china 2025 is so important to this country and worrying for other countries, because it is notjust about making new hard ware, but about information and then what you do with that information. this camera isn‘tjust taking a picture of me at the moment. it is using and will help to develop artificial intelligence. china says this is part of an ambitious industrial policy. but president trump says a threat from a rival that even now still insists some foreign firms hand over their precious technology. we spoke about greece having

completed the largest bailout programme in history earlier. but in economic terms, what will change in the eurozone economy now the bailout conditions have been lifted ? phyllis papadavid is an expert on financial crises from the overseas development institute — she spoke to the bbc earlier from athens. i think most greeks and most a nalysts a re i think most greeks and most analysts are treating today as a moment for reflection rather than necessarily celebration. there are things to be positive about. which was mentioned, greece can now perhaps access markets more easily. but at the same time, it has sort of a double—bind to contend with. both keeping track of its budget surplus and accelerating growth at the same time. so a double commitment to do

both will prove challenging. so there is some easy wins. bureaucratic obstacles still exist. so some of the bureaucracy in greece could be scaled back to help small and medium—sized businesses thrive and medium—sized businesses thrive and do better. particularly, because they‘re facing a big tax burden. that is something that the government, the administration, can do. the second thing is to make it easierforforeign investors. do. the second thing is to make it easier for foreign investors. stay with us. we are talking about the reunion of korean families from the north and south. a group travelled for that emotional reunion earlier in the day. we will tell you more about it. if you have been following world weather you have been shocked by the

severe flooding that we have seen across kerala. some of the rain is starting to ease and the intense rain fall moves further north and will affect gujarat and we will see some heavy rain fall here. some rough seas across the arabia sea and sharp showers into bangladesh and the himalayas. in the west pacific we have two typhoons. this one is continuing to track in a north—westerly direction and is likely to brush the smaller islands ofjapan, likely to brush the smaller islands of japan, but will likely to brush the smaller islands ofjapan, but will make land fall on thursday in south korea. ahead of it, on tuesday, we have got some sharper showers across parts of central and southern china. stretching down into vietnam and thailand. not so widespread into

indonesia. but the typhoon does make land fall in south korea, it will be the the first there since 2012. and we have this cloud across the central plains of america, through the great lakes, into georgia and that will heavy rain. behind, high pressure builds and it is all about the warmth. stretching through parts of texas into california and as far north—west as the pacific north—west. so a couple of days of extreme heat, but it is not going to last very long. in vancouver and seattle we expect something more u nsettled seattle we expect something more unsettled by the end of week. in australia it has been about the cold in the last couple of mornings, with temperatures below freezing in new

south wales and victoria. a good deal of dry weather, that is not good news for the wild fires. it will be dry. into europe and north/south divide. plenty of dry weather across the mediterranean. cooler and fresher with this front and that will move into scandinavia, with a bit of cloud across parts of low countries and northern france. further south it is settled and it is dry and sunny. as for the uk, it looks as though it will be a quiet theme. more details coming up as you can tell in the weather for the week ahead in half an hour. hello, i‘m krupa padhy, this is outside source. in an unprecedented statement to the world‘s roman catholics, pope francis has apologised for and condemned child sex abuse and cover—ups in the church. emotional scenes as dozens of people from north and south korea are briefly reunited. many hadn‘t seen their families

in more than six decades. in india, more than 350 people have died in the worst flooding in kerala in a century. rescuers are taking advantge of a break in the monsoon rains to step up their efforts. and we‘ll talk about the new venezuelan banknotes that have been unveiled today. remember if you want to get in touch about any of our stories, the hashtag is #bbcos. dozens of north and south korean families have held emotional reunions as relatives met for the first time in more than six decades. there have been deeply moving scenes as you can see from these pictures. the two koreas have organised reunion events before. the last one took place three years ago. a few of these south koreans

are meeting their parents or seeing their children for the first time since war separated them in the 19505. many of their relatives have already died, so most of these reunions are not between immediate family members, but cousins who they‘ve never met. in total, there are 83 north koreans and 89 from the south taking part in the reunions. they‘ll spend three days here in the resort town mount kumgang. the visit, though, is heavily supervised, and relatives will only get to spend a few hours together each day. they‘ll only see each other for 11 hours. in south korea, a reported 132,000 individuals are listed as coming from separated families. guardian journalist benjamin haas writes about how these reunions have become a symbol of the painful divisions that still remain. i spoke to a man who remembers the day as if it were yesterday

that he last saw his brother back in 1950. a lot of these families, they thought that they would see their relatives in a few days, and then it turned into 68 years. actually, i had a chance to hear how that meeting went with lee and his brother, and he was crying so much that some of the north korean staff actually had come over and console him for this very rare moment. he actually went through most of his life thinking his brother was dead, up untiljust two weeks ago. there currently are over 50,000 people who know that they have relatives in north korea, but have been unable to meet them. this week, only 89 families from south korea are able to attend, so if you think about it, once in three years, only 89 families, it will take a long time to actually go through all the people who actually want to see their relatives.

and even in today‘s meeting, the youngest people are in their 60s or 70s, so time is really running out for these people to reconnect with family members that despite the division and the amount of time, they still feel very strongly about those family bonds. relations between the two sides, which are technically still at war, have been warming lately. today‘s reunion is the outcome of a historic meeting between north korean leader kim jong—un and south korean president moonjae—in in april. more now from laura bicker. there they are. this man is one of 88 who were chosen this time around. he got a call to say he will meet his younger sister. he hasn‘t seen her for nearly 70 years. translation: after hearing the news, i was so shocked that i drank and couldn‘t sleep at all that night. newsreel: the people fled before them. he fled north korea in the middle

of the night, leaving his family behind after growing concerns over the spread of communism. he fought the north during the korean war and is unhappy with the current division. translation: i want to tell the world that we should allow separated families to meet whenever they want. instead of how it is now, with few people meeting rarely. for decades, this man kept looking north across the border for his mother in the hope that she would return. she went back to north korea in 1953 to prepare for peace. he even built his house near where she left him. he‘s never been selected for the reunions. translation: when can we meet our loved ones? after all of us are dead? 100 people per event, it is just meaningless. there are 50,000 people waiting all over the country. as well as bringing joy, this week‘s reunions will remind koreans on both sides that the pain of separation has not and may never leave this peninsula.

laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. venezuela has issued new bank notes. eight new notes called "sovereign bolivars" are now legal tender. here‘s president nicolas maduro holding the 500 note. he‘s taken five zeroes off the existing currency, known as "strong bolivars", and this would devalue the currency by about 96%. so why are they doing this? it‘s all to try and tackle hyperinflation. the imf has predicted inflation could reach a whopping 1 million percent this year. extreme shortages of food and medicine is only making things worse. here‘s guillermo olmo in caracas. a new currency for venezuela, the sovereign bolivar is born, but there is little activity in its first day in the streets. banks and business shut down, taking advantage of the bank holiday created by the government, to adjust the economy‘s procedures.

prices have been running wild for months in venezuela, killing off venezuelans‘ purchase power and making the previous the previous currency, the strong bolivar, almost worthless. the government says the new currency will help to stabilise prices, but experts warn that they might remain a problem the huge public debt this country has running on for years. if this is not sorted, the new currency will also be worthless very soon. president nicolas maduro says the new measures will not only curb the country‘s hyperinflation, but also put an end to what he calls the "economic war" waged by "imperalist forces", an apparentjab at his enemy, the united states. here‘s what mike pence said today... economic decline has triggered one of the worst mass migration crises

in the history of latin america. but fleeing venezuelans are facing suspicion and hostility. this picture came into the newsroom over the weekend. it shows migrant camps that have been attacked and set ablaze on the border town of pacaraima, near brazil and guyana. many shouted, "venezuelan‘s aren‘t welcome!" brazil says it‘s sending troops and extra police because of tensions. here‘s katy watson with the latest. so the brazilian government has sent about 120 extra troops to the border between venezuela and brazil. now, it's a very big open border, there are police patrolling it, but it's not a border that you could compare with that of the us and mexico. it is a very porous border, people come and go. they have in the last few months

by beefed up the number of people patrolling the border, there have been increases in smuggling as well because of the economy in venezuela and its collapse. so it is a big concern what has happened over this weekend, and the state has asked the supreme court to close the border. that goes against the brazilian constitution. so far, brazil has said no, they are not closing the border. it is a humanitarian issue. nevertheless, it has caused tensions to rise. locals up in the north of brazil are very angry about the number of venezuelans coming over. and where are these individuals trying to get to? is it brazil or is it elsewhere? well, they are trying to leave venezuela the best way they know how. most of them are going over land, they will exit through columbia. it is a spanish—speaking country, it is an easy way out. those who go through brazil,

it is a much longer way and you arrive in the north, which is so far away from any big cities. so what the brazilian government is also trying to do, and as what have said in the wake of the events of this weekend, they are trying to step off the efforts of relocating people. that means to a big city in the amazon or sending them down here to sao paulo so they can actually have a better chance of finding work and moving forward. but they speak spanish in venezuela, they speak portuguese here in brazil. that is a big ask, is certainly the assimilation for a lot of good venezuelans is very hard once they arrive here in brazil. don‘t forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our website, including on our top story — the pope‘s unprecedented letter to the world‘s roman catholics, apologising for historic child sex abuse. just go to bbc.com/news.

in south africa, a public inquiry has opened into alleged corruption and misuse of state funds by the former presidentjacob zuma. in a scandal known as "state capture", mr zuma is accused of granting the guptas, a wealthy south african business welcome to the very first day of the "state capture" inquiry here in south africa. the lawyers and the deputy chief justice of south africa will be investigating allegations of corruption against government officials, including former president jacob zuma. this is how the deputy chiefjustice opened today‘s inquiry. we all know that there are many people out there who know and who have evidence and who know some of the things that were happening. but if they don‘t come forward, that doesn‘t help this commission

and that doesn‘t help this country. one of the most explosive allegations that this commission will be investigating is the allegation by the former deputy finance minister. he alleged that the gupta family offered him the job of finance minister, and this is how he put it. members of the gupta family offered me the position of minister of finance to replace another man. i rejected this out of hand. the basis of my rejection of their offer is that it makes a mockery of our hard—earned democracy. the trust of our people, and no one apart from the president of the republic appoints ministers. but the guptas and former president jacob zuma deny any wrongdoing. they say they‘re being targeted.

he repeatedly told parliamenty that he‘s done nothing wrong. don't ask me. where do i come in? i had no business with that. and so the denials did notjust come from the former president, they also came from his son. listen to what he told me in an exclusive interview in dubai. mr zuma, are you corrupt? mr nkosi, i am not corrupt. i‘m not corrupt. i have not involve myself in any corrupt practise or any corrupt business. the hearings are estimated to last for as long as two years, but if you look at the paperwork right behind me, just look at the thick volumes. you can only guess how long the whole process is going to take in the combination of prosecutions, when the trials have come and gone, and when the charges have been laid. and remember, this inquiry does not have the powers

to prosecute, it has to refer to the national prosecuting authority. let‘s look at afghanistan now, where it‘s reported that the taliban insurgency group are still holding up to 20 people they kidnapped this morning when they ambushed three buses. and it happened here, in the kunduz province. around 150 people were on their way to the capital kabul to meet their families for the muslim festival of eid. the bbc‘s shoaib sharifi sent this update a few hours ago. this is the eve of eid, a massive holiday in afghanistan. a big travel day. thousands of people are travelling across the country to reach home before eid. these three big passenger buses at least carrying 50 passengers each were diverted by the taliban from the northeast of afghanistan, a taliban controlled area. although most of the passengers have been released, there are still some passengers left with the taliban.

local security officials say there is an operation ongoing in the area to release the remaining passengers. the ambush happened just a few hours after the afghan president ashraf ghani offered the taliban a three—month ceasefire, which they rejected. this map shows the taliban presence in the country as of last month. you can see that most of the country is in green, which means "under government control or influence". red represents areas where insurgent groups are in control or have influence, and the mustard colour shows contested areas. but the taliban have launched several fierce attacks in recent weeks, including in kabul and ghazni. let‘s hear from shoaib sharifi again. he‘s got more on the offer of a ceasefire. since the announcement of the ceasefire, it appears that the front lines are still hot and both sides are inflicting harm on each other and the government reported that in the last 12 hours,

that police have managed to kill 100 taliban. and it appears that the taliban, while people are awaiting a response, they are still intesifying the attacks, trying to inflict harm on afghanistan defence forces. protests in uganda have led to more than 70 people being arrested in the capital kampala. demonstrators burned tyres, threw stones, and erected roadblocks, after reports this man, opposition figure robert kyagulanyi, had been tortured while in police custody. the mp and musician, better known as bobi wine, was charged in a military court last week over allegations that he illegally possessed firearms and ammunition. but many see the charges as politically motivated and part of a crackdown by president yoweri museveni‘s government. here‘s more on the story from the bbc‘s catherine byaru—hanga in kampala. the latest that we are getting from the authorities is that they have arrested over 70 people as a result of the disturbances and protests

in the capital today. we are getting some reports of people being injured, some possibly dead, but none of that has been confirmed yet. we started getting reports of protests at around 10am local time, and these were in downtown kampala, a busy shopping area with lots of the transport hubs. and what demonstrators were doing was putting out barricades on the streets, throwing stones. they were also burning tyres. and then shortly after, we heard about more disturbances in other streets and suburbs of the capital. the authorities, the police and the military, responded by coming in very strongly. they were hitting bystanders with sticks, firing live rounds of ammunition in the air and also firing tear gas. the idea, really, was to nip these protests in the bud.

this is the first time we‘ve seen protests over the arrest of these politicians. just over the weekend, there was a protest in another town, which is on the outskirts of the capital. other protests in a separate area, the area where bobi wine grew up. earlier today, we asked people out on the streets why they were protesting. our town is so disorganised, it‘s affecting people‘s business and soldiers are victimizing innocent people who just left work going home. they are inflicting soldiers upon us, this is the weakness, i am sorry. translation: they always say power belonged to the people. now people have come out to say they want bobi wine as the president

of the republic of uganda. the police‘s point of view has been very clear. they told them these protests are illegal, in their opinion, they say that people should be careful being out on the streets and they have warned ugandans not to demonstrate during the demonstrations. but over the weekend, we also heard from the president regarding the wider discontentment against the detention of bobi wine and the other allies of his who had been arrested. he called news about the wine and the others have been tortured fake news. he said that what was really at the heart of this issue was the fact that bobi wine and his supporters were gathering crowds, intimidating supporters of the ruling party and making sure that they were not getting

engaged in local elections. and that is because there was a by election last week, hotly contested, that bobi wine was campaigning in as well as the president. the president said this is really about stopping intimidation by the opposition. a woman who fell into the sea from this cruise ship and survived in the water for ten hours has left hospital. kay longstaff was pulled from the adriatic sea off the coast of croatia after apparently falling from the cruise liner on saturday night. from pula, guy delauney sent this report. kay longstaff returning safely to dry land on a different sort of ship. the croatian coastguard rescued her from the adriatic after she spent a whole night treading water. i fell off the back of the norwegian star, and i was in the water for ten hours, so these wonderful guys rescued me. this is the moment she was pulled from the sea on sunday morning. her rescuers said she was tired and a bit sunburnt, but remarkably well, considering her ordeal. kay spent the night here at pula general hospital. she was discharged this afternoon without making any further public statements, but her doctors say that her adriatic adventure doesn‘t appear to have done her any permanent physical harm. she's in good condition,

probably because she's a young and healthy person. and nothing happened to her after ten hours in the croatian sea. kay was on board the norwegian star, filmed here on an earlier cruise. it‘s thought she was on the seventh deck, close to the back, when she fell. the ship had left the port of dubrovnik and was heading north. but roughly 60 miles out from the coast of croatia, kay longstaff went overboard. the ship made several turns to try to find her. only later did it go on to its final cruise stop of venice. everyone‘s still asking how kay could have survived that long treading water. perhaps her previous experience as airline cabin crew may have helped, or her apparent dedication to yoga. the major factors in survival in this case are going to be in the warm water, which is about the same temperature as a swimming pool, the fact that it was calm, so it was not a great requirement to work hard to keep her airway clear

of the water. that she was female, which helped her float, because females have more body fat than males. whatever happened, it seems like an incredibly lucky escape against the kind of odds which would have broken the bank at a cruise ship casino. guy delaunay, bbc news, pula. in an emergency situation in the united states, you dial 911. but there have been several high profile incidents recently where the number has been misused by a white person feeling threatened by african—americans doing everyday things, for example mowing a lawn. here‘s angelica casas with more. it‘s illegal to have a charcoal grill in the park here. do not sleep into that room. we have seen the videos, read the headlines and searched the hashtags. we have individuals calling 911 to report on individuals who are not manifesting any evidence of criminality whatsoever.

in fact, the only evidence that has been manifested specifically throughout these videos is the fact that they are living while black. according to professor herbert, while the internet has made these calls are viral, they are nothing new. 911 has a pretty chequered past when it comes to communities of colour in the us. it is still relatively young. the emergency number has been around for 50 years. when it was first created in the 1960s, its goal was to ease the rising national crime rate. but within the first year, 60% of calls to 911 were for non—emergencies. they don‘t ask you hi, hello, how is your day? they ask you very simply, what is your 911 emergency? herbert says misuse of 911 is what we‘re seeing with these viral calls.

law enforcement officers are placed in an interesting position here. when officers show up on the scene and investigate, what theirjob is to do is at that point dispel or confirm any criminality that may be afoot. there is a question as to whether or not the caller should in fact be criminally prosecuted. despite the growing regularity of viral videos showing these non—emergency calls, the number still has a purpose. 911 has been a lifesaver, particularly in response to medical emergencies in all communities. before we go, more on the floods in the indian state of kerala. these are pictures of an incredible

rescue of a toddler from a home by the indian air force. the rains have eased in kerala, giving disaster response teams the chance to get to the worst hit areas. 22,000 people have now been rescued by boat and by helicopter. we do know that 350 people at least have died so far. that is our top story and our top story for many other news outlets as well. if you wa nt to other news outlets as well. if you want to get in touch, find us on twitter. thanks for watching outside source. hello there. over the next week or so, you will notice changes in the feel of the weather. largely down to changes in where our air will be coming from. at the moment, the air is popping up from the southwest, a warm wind direction and a moist wind

direction as well with the wind coming all the way across the atla ntic coming all the way across the atlantic ocean, bringing high humidity and a lot of cloud. this system will bring a quite big change, starting to approach the northwest later in the day. before it arrives, a live cloud, yes, but it arrives, a live cloud, yes, but it should break up more readily than monday. we will see odd spells of sunshine. thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain as our weather front approaches the northwest later on. with a humid air in place, he temperatures will pop up to 26 or 27 degrees. as a go through tuesday evening, this weather front starts to get its act together, getting into northern ireland and scotland. notice what we develop this kink, this bend in the front. they will hold a these northwest areas throughout tuesday night. so a prolonged dose of heavy ramp for northern ireland and scotland as the wet weather sings his way into northern england, wales, the midlands and the southwest. it would

tend to fizzle. in the still in the humid airon tend to fizzle. in the still in the humid air on wednesday, whereas further north and west, something significantly cooler and pressure. 17 in aberdeen, glasgow and belfast with 27 in norwich. this first system will pep up wednesday night and into the early hours of thursday, a dose of rain for the southeast. then another cold front and then behind that, the wind and no longer coming from the southwest but coming from the northwest, a much, much cooler when direction but a clear airflow as well. so less cloud, more sunshine, equally up some hefty showers, some could contain some rumbles of thunder especially across northwestern areas. have a look at a few a noticeable breeze. thursday into friday, high to the southwest and low pressure to the northeast will maintain that northwesterly airflow. in fact, the air coming from a long way north by the state. you really

will feel the difference. we will feel the difference. there was a further showers pushing across northern and western areas, best of the sunshine and east. the highs of 14-19 the sunshine and east. the highs of 14—19 and bass. those temperatures a little below average for this time of year. how often have we said that this summer? on saturday, still showers and northwesterly winds and spells of sunshine as well as things start to dry up from the southwest. still temperatures on the low side at 14-19d. this still temperatures on the low side at 14—19d. this ridge of high pressure on sunday at likely to give usa pressure on sunday at likely to give us a drier day. a frontal system on the way with perhaps some rain on monday. then we get into next week, where will our air becoming from? broadly, a westerly flow but across the south, up more south—westerly. across the northern half, something ofa across the northern half, something of a northwesterly. so across old areas, there is always likely to be some cooler weather around and with that a bit of rain at times and not

all the time. further south, a south—westerly wind that will warm up south—westerly wind that will warm up again. lots of dry weather and some spells of sunshine so some big changes in the feel of our weather over the next ten days. the government steps in to take control of the privately run birmingham prison after inspectors say it‘s in crisis. the highly unusual move comes as prisoners and inspectors describe appalling squalor and violence in the jail, with staff asleep or locked in offices. i‘ve seen people just beaten up in front of staff, just whacked. erm... organised fights. that happens a lot, organised fights. it's not out of control yet, but it's not far from it, and the physical conditions there were amongst the worst we've ever seen. we‘ll be asking whether other prisons are struggling with similar problems. also on the programme tonight: the pope condemns the "atrocities" of child sex abuse and church cover—ups, in an unprecedented letter to more than a billion roman catholics worldwide. relatives reunited,
