hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. first the us. donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress about contacts with russia, prompting a furious response from the president. he's a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence — so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about. the un greets leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies who are in argentina for the 620, with a warning on climate change. president trump abruptly cancels a scheduled meeting at the 620 with vladimir putin — saying the situation in ukraine makes it bad timing. and measles are making a comeback worldwide — we find out why. president trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen has pleaded guilty to making false statements about a plan to build

a trump tower in moscow. here he is leaving a federal court in manhattan this morning. back in 2017, mr cohen submitted testimony to a congressional investigation looking into allegations that the trump campaign colluded with russia in 2016. he had said all talks about a trump tower in moscow finished in january 2016. now he says that was a lie. and that the talks continued untiljune 2016. bear in mind the republican presidential primaries were from february to june that year. michael cohen now says... individual one is donald trump. here's the president's response... michael cohen, what he is doing is he was convicted, i guess, you'll have to put it

into a legal term... but he was convicted with a fairly long—term sentence on things totally unrelated to the trump organisation, having to do with mortgages and having to do with cheating the irs perhaps. a lot of different things. i don't know exactly. but he was convicted of various things unrelated to us. he was given a fairly long jail sentence. and he's a weak person. and by being weak, unlike other people that you watch, he is a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence. so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about. i mean, we were very open with it. we were thinking about building a building. i guess we had in a form, it was an option, i don't know what you'd call it... we decided... i decided ultimately not to do it. there would be nothing wrong if i did do it. if i did do it, there would have been nothing wrong. this was my business. the federal charges

against michael cohen were brought by robert mueller‘s russia investigation. we know senior members of mr trump's election team met russian officials, and several of these meetings were not initially disclosed. and that the president's son, donald trumer, met with a russian lawyer during the campaign who claimed to have "dirt" on hillary clinton — who was donald trump's opponent. earlier this week president trump's former campaign manager paul manafort lost his plea deal with mueller because he had lied to mueller‘s team and the fbi. also, remember that last week president trump submitted his own written testimony to the mueller inquiry. and he continues to attack the whole process. and he continues to attack the whole prt in ss. and he continues to attack the whole prt in moscow, he had said trump tower in moscow, he had said all those conversations ended in january 2016. he says now actually they continued tojune 2016 when they continued tojune 2016 when they were very advanced in trying to get the presidential nomination on

donald trump was very a fast and is campaigning. beyond that as well, he also says that michael cohen talks about the fact that in the past he suggested that there had been no real contact with the kremlin. in fa ct real contact with the kremlin. in fact he now admits that he had conversations in january 2016, fact he now admits that he had conversations injanuary 2016, a 20 minute phone call with somebody from the kremlin, and that was set up by the kremlin, and that was set up by the press secretary's office of vladimir putin, the russian president himself. i've seen lots of reports saying the developments today mean that michael cohen is definitely agreed to help rober mueller. can we be assertion is that? yeah, we can. there was now a plea deal, we have seen the plea deal and it is very clear that michael cohen is preparing to co—operate will stop on donald trump's point of view, he continues to say this doesn't mean anything. his current lowers as opposed to his former lawyer, are saying that everything that michael cohen said in court today is consistent with what donald trump has told robert mueller in the written answers to

questions submitted to him. we have not seen those answers, but they say they are consistent with what he has told the special consult. but we can say is that it is clear that this investigation is still very active. there will be lots of questions and rumour rolling around washington about speculations of allegations into russian appearance into the election and claims of collusion involving the trump campaign, just where that investigation has got to. i think from what we see today, it is looking very clearly at donald trump's business dealings. it is still very active. there has been months of talk about a final report of potentially more indictments. i don't think we can rule anything out of the states. neither can the president. so it is active, but does robert mueller have any financial or time constraints on his work? not at the moment. as you know, president trump it fire his attorney general jeff sessions quite recently and he

replaced them with another man, matthew whitaker, who has been in the past quite critical of the robert mueller investigation, has in fa ct robert mueller investigation, has in fact suggested that it could be starved of funds or had its scope limited. that has not happened, but there are many people now calling for the investigation to be protected. certainly democrats in congress are saying that needs to happen because they are concerned that with robert mueller‘s investigation advancing and with the president becoming more and more frustrated with what he calls a witchhunt, that there needs to be some legislation put in place to ensure that it is not limited or it is not stopped. chris, thank you very much indeed. certainly this will be one of the things that donald trump is talking to his team about as he fights to argentina. he is one of the 20 leaders taking pa rt he is one of the 20 leaders taking part in the g20. the leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies are starting to arrive in buenos aires for the g20. make no mistake these countries matter. they represent 85% of global economic output, and around two thirds of the world's population. the un secretary general has greeted

them by addressing climate change. he says "we are all failing". he's also been speaking the the bbc‘s nick bryant. things are getting worse than predicted. but the political reel today is unfortunately not as high as it should be. we have very important landmark agreements — the paris agreements — but countries are not doing what they committed to do in paris. 0r many countries are not doing — not all — what they committed to do in paris. and what was committed in paris is not enough. he's backed up by yet another major warning — the third one this week. on monday it was the uk met office. on tuesday it was the un environment programme. now today it's the un's world meterological association. it says that...

it says that if trends continue, temperatures may rise by 3—5 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels by 2100. it's widely accepted that temperatures need to stay at 1.5 degrees or below to avoid catastrophic climate change. we are way off track. and while there's a focus on the future — the wmo says climate change already having an impact. perhaps the biggest impact of climate change —

they are related to changes in rainfall patterns — the drought and flooding problems, they are having bigger impacts and they may have bigger impacts also in the future. these changes in the global precipitation pattern, that is going to have a big impact into the global footwork. there's a focus on africa. the wmo warns 59 million people in 2a countries are already going hungry because of climate—related events. it adds... so the pressure is on at the g20. but a major problem is that donald trump doesn't accept that man—made climate change exists — and has pulled the us out of the paris agreement. and the us is building bridges with others who feel the same. here's mr trump's national security adviserjohn bolton with brazil's president elect jair bolsonaro —

he's a climate sceptic too — and has threatened to pull brazil out of the paris deal. all of which has antonio gutteres worried. we have more and more nationalist approaches being popular and winning elections, or having strong election results. we see the trust between public opinion than institutions, governments, political establishments but also international organisations being eroded. and this has led him in my opinion, to a lack of the necessary political reel. is it a huge problem that the world's most powerful man is a climate change sceptic? no. what is important is to make sure that the american society is able — independently of the position of the president — to make sure that with the action of cities and with the action of the businesses, with the conscious that in this country that is by far the most developed in the world, with that concious that the country

in itself is able to meet the engagements that were made at the american government in paris. but wouldn't it help if donald trump didn't bury... it always helps if everybody is in line with what we think. but we shouldn't reduce the discussion about climate change to the individual position of this or that leader. but this is the most powerful man in the world. it's a global issue and we are all failing. 0ne things certain, reducing our emissions of greenhouse gases won't be enough — we've got to work out how to remove these gases as well. here's the bbc‘s science editor david shukman. every hour, all over the world, more and more carbon dioxide is being pumped into the air, and scientists say we have got to find a way of doing this — pulling the carbon dioxide back out again. watch your footing.

in south wales, ijoin researchers who believe they may have found an answer. this is a slag heap, a mountain of waste left over from an old iron works. what they have found here is that this stuff actually draws in carbon dioxide. phil renforth and his student sarah gore show me how this works. adding some slag to a bottle. and then giving it a blast of carbon dioxide. in the space of a few minutes, the gas binds to the minerals inside and the bottle starts to collapse inwards. so could this be done on a worldwide scale? globally, we produce about half a billion tonnes of slag around the globe, and that could capture something along the order of a quarter of a billion tonnes of c02, so it's not going to do everything but it might do something relevant. just sitting here, the material doesn't absorb much of the gas, so a new process will have to be devised to make it useful, but that is technically feasible. this is just one tiny fraction

of the legacy of the industrial age, and it's an amazing thought that the iron and steel industries which produced all this stuff and generated so much of the carbon dioxide that's been warming the planet, they now have a role in helping to limit the rising global temperatures. newsreel: sheffield, capital of steel, part of a great industry... in the boom years of steel production, what mattered was the volume of output. no—one back then worried about all the carbon dioxide being released into the air. but now, at sheffield university, that's what they're trying to deal with. in an underground laboratory, plants are grown in carefully monitored conditions. instruments keep track of every detail, and mixed into the soil is a powder. it's rock that's been ground up. this is a major project to see if agriculture can help tackle climate change.

these plants look normal enough but they are part of a highly unusual experiment that could prove incredibly useful. that's because the scientists here have worked out that adding powdered volcanic rock to the soil massively increases the amount of carbon dioxide that is drawn out of the air. and because that's the gas that's driving the rising temperatures, anything to help get rid of it could make a difference. on an experimental farm in the american midwest, the powdered rock is being tested on the fields. already the scientists have seen that it acts as a fertiliser. they don't yet know whether, at this massive scale, the process also traps carbon dioxide. but they are convinced it's worth trying. the world needs to wake up to the fact that we need to reduce our emissions and combine it with technologies for removing c02. and at the moment we have no idea how to remove billions of tonnes of c02 from the atmosphere. maybe the answer will lie with the plants and the powdered rock. or the minerals in the slag heap

will prove to be useful. in any event, there's now a frantic effort to find out, and all the time, the more carbon dioxide builds up in the air, the more urgent it becomes to somehow get it out. david shukman, bbc news. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... the situation close to crimea. those ukrainian vessels and service people are still being held by the russians. president trump has cancelled his meeting with president putin at the g20 because of all of this. ajapan airlines pilot has been sentenced to ten months in prison for being over nine times the legal limit for pilots. katsutoshi jitsukawa was due to fly nearly 12 hours from london to tokyo when alcohol was detected on his breath. he has also lost his job as a result.

laura westbrook was at court. mrjitsukawa appeared via video link in court today and did not speak when a sentence of ten months was read out loud. last month he had been due to copilot a flight from heathrow to tokyo, when a security manager thought he smelled alcohol on his breath. mrjitsukawa made it into the cockpit before he was removed, and police said that he appeared nervous and his eyes were glazed. he failed a breathalyzer test, and later a blood test showed that he was more than nine times over the legal limit for a pilot. whenjudge matthews read out his sentence, he said it was this kind of case that undermined the public‘s confidence. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is...

donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress about contacts with russia. thousands of anti—government demonstrators have been protesting in zimbabwe's capital harare against the economic crisis and austerity measures. it's the first rally since a deadly crackdown on an election protest in august. that story is from bbc afrique. the lower house of the italian parliament is severing diplomatic relations with the egyptian parliament until there's a breakthrough in the case of a murdered italian student. giulio regeni was tortured and killed in cairo in 2016. that's from bbc arabic. the un has put reggae music on its list of global intangible cultural treasures. of course bob marley had plenty to do with that. unesco says reggae contributed to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance and humanity. of course he could have just added

he helped lots of people have a good time too. president trump is again raising the prospect of putting tariffs on cars. he says... for once china probably isn't too worried about that. but germany and japan i suspect will be. michelle fleury in new york. before we get to the big stuff, why is it called a chicken tax? you have to go back to 1964. lyndon b. johnson at the time introduced a tariff on trucks being imported into america. at the time it was because there were taxes or tariffs imposed on us chickens imported to western europe. that is the reason it is

called the chicken tax. it has remained in place and still in place today. this demonstration is proposing extending into cars and the focus is to do with europe and japan particularly, to try and get them to reduce their tariffs on imports of us cars. in other words donald trump wants to sell more american cars overseas. does the ca rd american cars overseas. does the card industry in america want this? —— the american car industry? they've expect a lot of concern and a think it will cost their industry a think it will cost their industry a lot of money. in part this has to do with how car production takes place nowadays. it is very global, it is very integrated. for example, you can have a part that art is life in one part of the world, moves to another country where another bit is added, take a seat belt orjust take added, take a seat belt orjust take a glove box and all of these different components can come from many parts of the world and the net result is that for the consumer you end up paying a lot more for a car which is why the industry is resisting this. but of course now we

have heard this week from general motors talking about closing plants here in america and that sort of really renewed this discussion within the trump administration. really renewed this discussion within the trump administrationm terms of the big german and japanese manufacturers, i have the impression they make 20 of cars in america already. here's the thing. you've got donald trump on the one hand concerned that general motors is holding lens, and all the other hand he is touting the fact that there is signs of health in america that his attem pts signs of health in america that his atte m pts to signs of health in america that his attempts to revive manufacturing in america is working. and he singled out the and w as one of the manufacturers that is opening plants here in the united states that he singled out bmw. although the company has not quite confirm that yet. it is in discussion but not confirmed yet. this is where it gets complicated. it goes back to this idea you've got a german car—maker opening a plant and creating jobs in america, but obviously this will have a knock on effect on their overall bottom line. the administration is talking to the car—makers, but the question now is whether this announcement from

general motors, something of a black eye for the president who has talked about reviving manufacturing in the us whether or not that emboldens them to move forward on this issue. michelle, thank you very much. there is michelle in new york. next we turn to germany. the headquarters of deutsche bank have been raided as part of a money laundering investigation. the move was related to the panama papers. remember... two years ago, there was a huge leak of documents from a law firm in panama, which exposed details about how the rich and powerful, use tax havens, to hide their wealth. kim gittleson has more. the prosecutors have said that there were over 900 clients worth estimated something like 300 million euros, who possibly could have avoided paying tax by setting up off—shore tax havens in the british virgin islands. this raid has to do with trying to get information about that. deutsche bank said that it is working with the prosecutors in complying with all of their request.

deutsche bank has paid something like $18 billion in fines since 2008. no other bank has paid more except for the royal bank of scotland. it's been involved in many probes, everything from rate fixing to money laundering. in fact earlier this morning the bank was linked to a danish scandal suggesting that billions of dollars could have thrown through its us arm, again as part of a different money—laundering allegation. mitsubishi heavy industries has been ordered to compensate 28 south koreans for the forced labour they endured during world war two. here's laura bicker in seoul. mitsubishi heavy industries limited has been ordered to pay out tens of thousands of dollars in compensation to a total of 28 south koreans who brought these cases to court. they say they were forced to work as part of the japanese war effort — in steel plants, on shipyards,

and various other factories — to make weapons or as part of the japanese war effort. and that was during world war ii. some of them say they were taken forcibly from their families, they were made to work from very early in the morning to very late at night. some say that they were beaten. there were around 150,000 koreans taken from here and brought to japan as part of this war effort. the cases were brought forward. the first one came about last month. and it was two japanese firms who argued that actually these cases should not be brought to court, because of the 1965 treaty which normalised ties between seoul and tokyo. however the court here in seoul ruled that the japanese occupation from 1910 to 1945 was illegal. and that means that its workers are entitled to compensation. there are around 14 cases in the pipeline right now,

as people try to get the compensation for workers who are still alive. many of them are in their late 80s or early 905. some of the cases are being brought forward on behalf of families. however, these cases and this case today even, is likely to raise tensions between the two asian countries. already the japanese government has said that this is utterly unacceptable. here in seoul, the government is trying not to play a part, to try to keep tensions ata minimum. the longer these cases go on and the more cases that are brought forward to court, the more likely it is that at some point government is going to have to get involved. inafew in a few minutes on 0utside source... this 78—year—old man may be among the most prolific serial killers in us history.

hello there. the weather continues to move on. some parts of the world seeing an improvement in weather in some areas going the other way. in north america the weather is changeable because the jet stream is changing position. we are seeing warmer conditions pushing northward up warmer conditions pushing northward up the eastern side of the us. the snow in the northeast this was pulling away. instead we are seeing low— pressure pulling away. instead we are seeing low—pressure bringing rain and mountain snow into the southwest. some much—needed rain in california. perhaps into the desert southwest and some more systems following on behind. but ahead of that, that warmerair behind. but ahead of that, that warmer air but is coming in from the gulf of mexico, you can see a lot of friends and there'll be thunderstorms too pushing into the mississippi valley friday and saturday. some snow where we meet the cold air across the northern plains of the us, it is all heading towards the eastern seaboard. all going to have an impact as well. a lot of rain in the forecast for atla nta. lot of rain in the forecast for atlanta. during briefly in new york. he does turn milder here. cooler but probably chart with more sunshine in

los angeles. the rain not lasting long. the rain didn't last too long here in sydney. this was thursday. still some crashing waves. the winds are tending to ease and the rain is all gone. you can see the cloud that is moving away from sydney. 0ver all gone. you can see the cloud that is moving away from sydney. over the sea and has now arrived in new zealand. the same area of low pressure will sit around for a while. it will bring some strong to gale force winds and bring some heavy rain especially to the north island. another weather system arrives in tasmania and also victoria this weekend. no sign of any rainforthe victoria this weekend. no sign of any rain for the next few days in sydney. it will get hotter in the sunshine. he'd waste still continue for northern part of england. no rain in sight for those bushfires. a lot of rain for auckland and also the bay of plenty as well. this was moscow a little earlier on. he remains really cold actually in moscow and that cold air has been pushing its way southwards. as expected, we had some heavy falls of snow in one mania. 0f expected, we had some heavy falls of snow in one mania. of course a lot of travel disruptions as well.

staying really cold here. especially with the back cover of snow of course. but at least the snow has stopped falling. we have still got the cold air go across those baltic states for moscow, down towards the balkans. and into the black sea. we have still got some wet weather around too on friday. mostly rain actually across turkey. there may well be some more flooding. drier conditions arriving and more sunshine in greece. milder in the northwest of europe, it is still very windy. the milder air is pushing its way into central europe together with that when a front too. there are more weather systems arising from the atlantic and heading to our shores this weekend. essentially the weather pattern remains very unsettled. there will be more details on thatjust before 10pm. really this weekend is seeing some more rain at times, particularly in the south. it will not be quite as windy and it will be cooler in one part of the uk. as cooler in one part of the uk. as cooler in one part of the uk. as cooler in northern parts of the uk. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. donald trump's former lawyer

michael cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress about contacts with russia, prompting a furious response from the president. he isa he is a weak person and what he is trying to do is get a reduced sentence so he is lying about a project that everybody knew about. the un greets leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies who are in argentina for the g20, with a warning on climate change. saying everyone is not doing enough stop president trump abruptly cancels a scheduled meeting at the g20 with vladimir putin — saying the situation in ukraine makes it bad timing. and new figures on the worldwide resurgence of measles. the world health organisation says one reson is rise is anti—vaccination movements. president trump was supposed to meet president putin at the g20.

he's cancelled. on sunday the russian coastguard captured three ukrainian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. the boats were passing through the kerch straight. the eu has condemend russia. russia says the boats were threatening to enter its waters. ukraine's president poroshenko is now asking nato to position ships off the coast of crimea. he said so when speaking to the german newspaper bild. he also says, "we cannot accept this aggressive policy of russia. first it was crimea, then eastern ukraine, now he wants the sea of azov. germany, too, has to ask itself: what will putin do next

if we do not stop him?" well, angela merkel has responded to this. translation: i will raise the issue with the russian president at the g20 summit. but we ask the ukrainian side, too, to be sensible because we know that we can only solve things through being reasonable and through dialogue, because there is no military solution to these disputes, this must be said. nextjonah fisher's analysis from kiev. ukraine is not a nato member, it is a close ally of nato at present and a close ally of nato at present and a nato of course has countries that border the black sea, turkey and bulgaria, romania, having a naval presence in the black sea it self is not unheard of but most people would regard it as potentially escalating

the situation pretty seriously if nato tried to send a warship through the kerch straight where the fashion point took place on sunday were 24 ukrainian sailors were captured, and any move to send nato warships through the kerch straight would be a very very serious escalation of what is going on at the moment. what is happening in eastern europe with the tensions between russia and the ukraine? let's go back to the g20. some of the leaders have been arriving today. you can see canada'sjustin trudeau. indian prime minister modi. turkey's reccep tayip erdogan. he is planning to see president

trump. here's emmanuel macron with the host — argentina's president mauricio macri. all smiles there — but president macri is under severe pressure because of the perilous state of the argentinian economy. tim willcox has been looking into this. ba rely barely 15 minutes trived from the heart of the argentine government, every use of crippling poverty —— bride. we are here, practically no one has a full—time job here and people are so poor they cannot afford to buy food and a government run soup kitchen which has been in insistence since the 90s has been set to feed those families who if they did not have this would simply go without. people bring their own containers to be served the dish of the day, the cooks are volunteers, they get paid with the food that is left over. we will talk to some of

the women now. she has two children. i asked if there wasn't this service, what would she do? she is saying that she doesn't know what she would do because she would try to cook but there isn't enough money to do this. she has four children. she comes here on monday to friday. ruth has one child and has never had a job ruth has one child and has never had ajob and ruth has one child and has never had a job and this is why she comes here. the man in charge of the soup kitchen is luke, how many people

come here and how long they have been doing this? he is saying about 350 people come here every day monday to friday. i will ask and are there other people who would like to come but they can't because of the limit on numbers? he is saying that in the past few yea rs he is saying that in the past few years the number of people who want to use the service has increased dramatically. the people here have had decades of economic instability, leaving their mark, and many are not at all optimistic about the future. donald trump is currently flying to buenos aires. at the g20 there's an official agenda — but just as important are all the bilateral meetings.

we know president trump has cancelled on vladimir putin. he is still planning to meet president erdogan of turkey. and president xi of china. that is arguably the biggest meeting of the lot because they are having this trade war at the moment. the political magazine the hill has called this meeting ‘pivotal‘ — because of the us—china trade war. the president tweeted about it today. but the wall streetjournal is suggesting that the two sides are actively trying to resolve this. vincent ni from yale university. he is currently based atjoe university and he is giving his analysis. —— yale university. university and he is giving his analysis. -- yale university. we don't have much detail but both

sides have agreed on something called... which means washington would suspend further tariffs and in return china would address concerns over intellectual property rights as well as cyber espionage but the bigger questions linger. washington is concerned about china's economic model and it was because of this economic model that propelled china to the world's second—largest economy and it is difficult to work out at the moment, but the big question is how much china would compromise their economic model. singin president xi is not known for compromising? neither is president trump. we have got to wait and see what kind of chemistry they can come up what kind of chemistry they can come up with when they meet for dinner on

saturday but in the us there is a broader debate on how much the usa should a compromise to china. there isa should a compromise to china. there is a report being released by sta nford is a report being released by stanford university calling on the administration to have a tit—for—tat response to china, so here in the united states the debate is far beyond trade itself. we have a week from bill bishop, a well—known commentator, uses the odds —— he says the odds for humiliation for president xi are not low, is that a possibility? president trump is unpredictable, and we also have president xi sending his envoy to washington, this has been a long complaint from beijing, but if both sides can agree on something, then i

think this will certainly boost the markets on monday when we wake up. the big question lingers, how washington should deal with china on the broader scale and notjust trade but also on geopolitics and perhaps other issues. you talk about the broader relationship and you spend your time at yale university looking at that, is the tension around trade symptomatically broader breakdown in relations? absolutely. if you talk to washington policymakers as well as american academics there is a general consensus that washington's policy over china in the past years, what they call the engagement policy, has really come to an end. i mentioned this report from stanford university calling on the administration to be more hawkish if you like to china, and also if you go to washington, think tanks will

tell you the existing policy towards china is no longer working, in other words there is a general realisation that the fundamental interests of the united states is not compatible to that in china. so this will be a bigger and more difficult conversation and we will have to see after this round of trade negotiations what washington and beijing will come up with on issues like the south china sea and north korea and a broader geopolitical issue. plenty of analysis of the g20 and reports on south korea and also from the us and now we are going back to the us. this 78—year—old man may be among the most prolific serial killers in us history. his name is samuel little. he's already serving life in prison for the murders of three women. and now he's confessed to killing 90 women across america since 1970. the fbi has a page on its website devoted to the case. it includes this map showing the locations of the murders. investigators are working to match his confessions

with the deaths of dozens of women. so far they've linked little to 34. peter bowes is covering the story from los angeles. do we know anything about the circumstances in which this man came forward to say he did not kill three women, he killed 90? yes, we do, it was first arrested in 2012 and he was first arrested in 2012 and he was ina was first arrested in 2012 and he was in a homeless shelter in kentucky. he was transported to california then where he was wanted ona california then where he was wanted on a drugs charge and at that point dna samples were taken from him and matched the cases of three women who had been murdered. he was convicted of those murders two years later and given life sentences and at that point the information about him and the cases that he was known to be involved with were shared with other

agencies around the country as part of the fbi's scheme, the violent criminal apprehension scheme. details of serial offenders like this are shared with other agencies so they can look at the cases outstanding in theirjurisdiction to see if there are any matches and one came toa see if there are any matches and one came to a head in taxes and that led to an investigator from texas —— one came to head in texas. the investigator went to talk to him and then he started canvassing, and he went through city by city torque how many people he had killed —— and then he started confessing, and he went through city by city talking about how many people he had killed. he has made all of these confessions, 34 cases have been corroborated and the investigators around the country are still working to look at those other outstanding

cases to see if they can make a definite match between what he is saying and what they have found. do we know anything about the women he has killed? he tended to pursue in some cases prostitutes and women who he would kill it seems by thumping them, he had been a professional boxer and one of the common traits is that there was not much evidence to show that the individuals had been murdered. he did not use a gun ora been murdered. he did not use a gun or a knife. that seems to have been a common theme, and clearly this is a common theme, and clearly this is a line of inquiry which attracted the attention of many different agencies around the country because they felt they had similar cases and could ultimately make the match and clearly it is dna evidence which is the most important factor because some of these cases go back to the 70s and 80s when dna science and

that kind of evidence was not available to detectives. peter, thanks forjoining us. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... the who is warning that cases of measles has risen worldwide. and it says one of the reasons is anti—vaccination campaigns. injust over 24 hours, sark in the channel islands could be plunged into darkness because of a row about the high cost of electricity there. the local power company has been ordered to cut its prices, but its owner says it's unaffordable. 0ur correspondent, john fernandez reports. this is 82—year—old richard dewe and his wife preparing for the worst. we've filled the bath in the bathroom up. we've got an ensuite shower in the bedroom and suchlike. we will have plenty of water to flush the toilet and suchlike.

last night an agreement was made to try and keep the lights on with chief pleas looking at buying sark electricity. we've been thinking about it for sometime but the question has always been one of valuation. there has been a major difference in that. today we seem to have made some progress on that and i'm hopeful that we may be able to make even more progress tomorrow with a view to actually doing a deal. now those negotiations are still ongoing. the man at the centre of this is intent that he will be flipping the switch at midnight on friday. i'm deeply worried, the last thing in the world i want to do. this is myjob, i came here to give electricity to the people of sark, not shut it off. unfortunately, i'm legally obliged to stop selling something that

will be costing me money. life will go on its own way, as people prepare for the worst. what it will mean for the shop is that we are going to be having a generator but what that will mean is that if and when the power does go out, we will have to... there will be a transitional period between power going out and the next a lot of power coming in. it won't power absolutely everything but it will mean that the freezers don't go off. because if these generators stop working, nobody really knows if they will ever come back on. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is... donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress about contacts with russia. and now more stories on bbc world service. china has halted the work of the scientist who claims to have created the world's first genetically edited babies, and says it will investigate. that's from bbc chinese.

and this is one of the most popular stories on the bbc news website: a british mp has revealed that he has been hiv positive for nearly 10 years. lloyd russell—moyle enocouraged people to overcome their fear of getting tested, saying, "it is better to live in knowledge than to die in fear." this is kian delos santos. in 2017 — he was killed by three philippino police officers who claimed they thought he was a drug runner. a court has rejected that — each officer has been convicted of murder and given 40 years in prison. this is the public prosecutor. we are very happy for the decision taken by the judge we are very happy for the decision taken by thejudge because he said this morning and gave a judgment on this morning and gave a judgment on this murder. this proves that there

is justice this murder. this proves that there isjustice in this murder. this proves that there is justice in the this murder. this proves that there isjustice in the philippines. this conviction is significant — it is the first against police since president duterte launched his "war on drugs" in 2016. this is an infographic from the police — they claim that as of august this year, 5,000 drug dealers have been killed. human rights watch says it's closer to 12,000. and that many are innocent. this is the mother of kian delos santos after the convictions. translation: i'm very happy because this is the answer, the proof that my son is innocent and has never been involved in drugs or stop to eve ryo ne been involved in drugs or stop to everyone who helped, everyone whose names i can no longer list, thank you very much. kian delos santos has become the face of a campaign for justice for other victims. howard johnson is in manila. this was a controversial case because the night when 17—year—old

kian delos santos was killed, police officers said he fought back and shot at them during a drug war operation so they fired back and killed him in self defence, but eyewitnesses and cctv footage said otherwise, they said he had been dragged across a basketball court and taken to an alleyway where he was given a gun and told to buy it and run and another eyewitness said he begged for his five before the police killed him. this story caused outrage and maybe because many people could relate to it. his mother was an overseas filipino worker who works in saudi arabia and sends money back to herfamily in the philippines and many people are in some situations, with relatives over seas. president duterte was elected as a father figure to look after children while their parents we re after children while their parents were overseas. today the cabinet some of the department ofjustice

sector is says this verdict debunks the myth that there is a culture of impunity in the country, and human rights watch have said this is just one case and yet there are thousands of drug war killings that need to be investigated by an independent commission and that they look forward to the international criminal court going through its preliminary examination of this drug war to see if there are indeed crimes against humanity caused by president duterte and his war on drugs. let's update you on the worldwide resurgence of measles. the world health organisation has new figures. there were 30% more cases in 2017 compared to 2016. and in 2017, there were 110,000 measles—related deaths. the who says one reason for this rise is anti—vaccination movements. it's released this graph — the dotted line is estimated deaths when people are vaccinated — the top is what happens when they aren't. for more — here's the world health organisation.

we are also seeing in wealthy countries that there are cases of measles which are being spreading throughout the community and this is potentially being driven by hesitancy towards the vaccine, pa rents hesitancy towards the vaccine, parents being worried about vaccinating their children. and here's bbc‘s global health correspondent smitha mundasad. i think that lots of health experts are i think that lots of health experts a re pretty i think that lots of health experts are pretty disappointed because for yea rs are pretty disappointed because for years the measles numbers were going down and they were hoping they had got hold of it. seeing measles had gone up in every region in the world isa gone up in every region in the world is a disappointment and also quite worrying. complacency is one factor, the factors in many rich countries, people have forgotten and they have not seen how bad measles can get. measles is not just not seen how bad measles can get. measles is notjust a few spots, it can cause blindness and things like

brain swelling and many people have not seen that and maybe have thought that measles is not a serious disease and they don't need to vaccinate. and there are countries in the americas, for example, where the health system has collapsed because of the economy and the political situation and that means people cannot get the vaccine, similar situation in the ukraine where people cannot get the vaccine, it isa where people cannot get the vaccine, it is a mixed picture, but almost every region in the world measles has gone up. europe, they are worried the reason might be that pa rents a re worried the reason might be that parents are choosing not to vaccinate and some of that will be complacency and some of that is scare stories spread very quickly by social media, unfounded, that the vaccine is not safe. it is a medication challenge in some ways? —— communications challenge. medication challenge in some ways? —— communications challengelj medication challenge in some ways? -- communications challenge. i was speaking to one of the who experts andi speaking to one of the who experts and i said, how can you counteract

the rising misinformation on social media, and he said they need better tools but he is not sure what they are. key to that was better communication and being more honest with people and mentioning how scary measles can be and finding a way to keep ahead of the misinformation that can be spread so quickly. a quick update on the g20. angela merkel will miss the opening. her plane had to make an emergency landing in cologne stop no reports of anything serious. she will be late getting to argentina. thanks for watching. we are in a very turbulent spell of weather at the moment and more cobwebs will be blown away, more low

pressure is heading in our direction and more wind and rain over the next days but we think that the worst of the winds has now passed as far as the winds has now passed as far as the short—term is concerned for their first the short—term is concerned for theirfirst thing on friday morning we still have go force winds across parts of scotland because of this area of low pressure. in the south we are talking about based on breeze with sunshine and showers. this is what it looks like on friday, gale force winds for scotland, very windy with big waves, choppy sea conditions in the west, but inland with a breeze, some sunshine and not feeling too bad in london, around 12 or stop this is what happens on saturday, the blue cold air to the south, and this is the weather system we are talking about, this means there is warmth trapped in the

area of low pressure, the every of bad weather, so wet in the morning and then when it is out of the way we are in the stream of south—westerly winds and temperatures will reach 14 once the rain clears away and we get sunshine. maybe a bit too late. watch what happens as we go through saturday into sunday, southern parts of the uk scraping by the weather systems, this is where we have the milder air, but the cold air is in the north. mild and breezy in the south, not raining all the time, and in the north we have the colder air and even mountains no, so there is a big contrast in terms of the temperatures which will be closer to the mid—teens in the south —— even mountain snow. next week, very changeable, rain and wind at times but not all the time. from monday morning, one area of low pressure in the north sea, the weather front

moving across the uk, that means wind and rain. low pressure in the north sea, strong northerly winds, feeling cold in scotland, temperatures around six, and the wind is more coming from the west and south—west and so that means around 12 with the sunshine. tuesday, some fine weather for a time, uncertainty when the area of rain will arrive, it might be here around midday, or it might be around here, but the thinking is that some of us will have sunshine on tuesday. overall next week, little point in giving you precise timings, so suffice say we are in the spell of very turbulent weather and basically next week with the strong jet stream pushing weather systems in our direction we will probably see rain most days but it won't be raining all the time with weather systems moving swiftly through, you often

get rainy days and then brighter weather and then rain again. thejet strea m weather and then rain again. thejet stream coming from the north next week and that is an indication may be colder air will come in and also with that things may settle down and absorb it, so by next weekend things may telling of it, but also on top of that a bit colder as well. —— things may be calming down. tonight at 10, donald trump's former lawyer and close adviser admits lying in connection with the presidential campaign. michael cohen says he lied to an investigation, into russian interference in the presidential election, prompting this attack from his former boss. he's a weak person, and what he's trying to do is get a reduced sentence. so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about. we'll be asking how damaging this could be for president trump, and how much information mr cohen might yet share. also tonight. in shropshire, the head of a much—criticised nhs trust is resisting calls to resign. i live in this community,

my family live in this community. if i didn't think and believe that i was capable of leading this organisation, i would've already walked away. 12 days ahead of the big commons vote on brexit, theresa may and jeremy corbyn can't agree on plans for
