to help hunt down the remnants of the so—called islamic state. the battle for the last pocket of is territory is being held up because civilians remain trapped there. us military aircraft have begun delivering humanitarian aid for venezuela, to the colombian border. president maduro has warned that aid could be a us pretext for a military intervention. opposition leaderjuan guaido called for demonstrations to persuade the military to allow the aid in. eight illegal gold miners have been pulled alive from flooded mines in zimbabwe, but officials fear dozens more are still trapped underground. more than 20 bodies have been recovered since the incident happened on tuesday night. the government has declared it a national disaster. now on bbc news, inside out. hello, and welcome to inside out. how safe is your home?

we're going to show you how hackers can get in through your smart devices. he's doing that from greece? yes, she he's got control of the lighting system. meet the boy who has died twice. now, thanks to a pioneering unit in cambridge, zack is learning to live again. the father, the son and the holy spirit. and helping to save our beautiful ancient churches. i spend a very hectic sunday with the super—vicar from suffolk. the stories that matter closer to home. i'm david whiteley, and this is inside out. hello, and welcome to the programme. now, we're using the internet more and more to help us with stuff around the house. smart technology to help make our lives easier. but as we're about to show you, someone else could take control of your house.

jo taylor investigates. adrian gardner is a bit unusual. he plans his week's viewing the old —fashioned way and, unlike most of us, he has no wi—fi and no catch—up tv, so he has to get inventive. you haven't got iplayer or catchup or anything? not at all. i mean, it's possible to get devices to record the television, i don't have one of those at the moment, but if it's a good drama or something, i wait for the dvd to come out. you're very patient. laughs. at least his telly isn't black and white. adrian's a technical operator at the bbc in cambridge, and so, he does like his gadgets. just not any connected to the internet. he has no wi—fi. you made the decision about a year ago to come off grid. what does that mean? fundamentally, it meant

disconnecting from the internet on a home basis. i mean, i still have to use the internet at work. but it was closing all the accounts i had with online retailers and any online forums and that that i was using. for me, i don't want to be tracked and monitored with everything that i do. doesn't everyone think you're a bit mad? there are sort of mixed reactions. some people think i'm a bit of a dark age fossil. others find that it's "ooh, that's quite novel!" adrian doesn't want any smart tech in his house. but is he right to be worried? we have come to the ultimate smart house to find out. we are just going to let ourselves in here with an old—fashioned key. but if i owned it, i could just put my fingerprint right there. let's do it. let's see what this house can do atjust the click of a button. with over 200 internet—connected devices in it, this home seems to have it all. so this is the kitchen.

here we've got two ovens connected to the internet, so it can tell you anywhere in the world when your food has finished cooking. as well as the ovens, the coffee machine, water softener, heating and lighting is all controllable by the internet. alexa, living room, evening, on. but could somebody snoop on me through these devices? ken munroe and his team are cyber—security specialists from buckinghamshire, and with the owner's permission, they're going to see just how hackable this house is — notjust from here but from another country. hey, how are you doing, vangelis? i'm fine, ken. how's the weather out in greece? it's rather snowy. i'm speaking to my colleague, vangelis, who's based in greece, and he's looking at the system which controls the smart house here. we found a vulnerability in one

of them that we think we can use to ta ke control of a lot of the smart home tech here. so, vangelis, how about we have a go at taking control of the lighting system? let's see if we can turn the lights off. whoa. there you go. vangelis has just turned the lights off and then on again in this house from greece. that's really scary. and he's doing that from greece? yep, so we've got control of the lighting system, that's a start. how's about something a bit more sinister? vangelis, can you have a go at turning off the heating? i'm pretty sure that i can. yep, he's managed to control the heating too. so, what are we going to do next? well, let's see if we can get access to the cameras. lots of people have got cctv and webcams in their houses. let's see if we can get access to one running on the front door. vangelis hacks into the camera and can now see us at the front door. what does this prove? this shows that anyone, anywhere in the world, can hack smart houses.

you don't have to be next door, you don't have to be down the road, anywhere in the world. according to ken, it's down to a security flaw in the way the main smart system has been designed — not because the owner of this house has set up the security poorly. and there are other ways into this house, too. another way is exploiting a streaming device called chromecast on google. and we can compromise that and send anything we like to your telly. ken is now controlling the tv and can send voice commands to alexa. alexa, living room, evening. you can use this method to do things like set alarms for 3:00 in the morning, you can say creepy things out of your tv to freak you out. i'm watching you! but the one that bothers me most is that you can use this method to order things on people's amazon accounts. and that's because if your amazon account is linked to your alexa,

you can use voice commands to shop. so ken could, in theory, start buying himself some treats at somebody else‘s expense. amazon say it's not their device which has been hacked. security measures have been taken, and there are extra precautions people can take, like installing a voice pin for purchases and muting alexa when out of the house. google say they are working on an update to prevent attacks of chromecast, that an attacker has to be nearby for the attack to work, and network passwords are not affected by the attack. ken and his team only managed to control six devices out of 200 in this house, because it has been set up so securely. the rest of us are leaving ourselves increasingly vulnerable, either by buying tech that has security glitches or by not securing it properly ourselves. ken does a sweep of the uk to show me how insecure our devices are. it's getting worse.

it's horrific. so people are setting stuff up at home without doing strong passwords, the manufacturers are letting us down in terms of security in many cases, so the problem is getting worse. ken shows me the scale of the problem. we've got some cctv cameras here, so small businesses and large homes... and we found 15,000 of these in the uk alone... 15,000! ..without security done properly. so you can click into this and see people's houses, businesses, inside their bedrooms, you name it. so whose fault is that? the user, because they haven't put a password on or something? no, in this case, it's actually the manufacturer. they completely made a mess of the security of the camera. so anybody can come along, jump into it and see what's going on. and even in cambridge, the tech hub of the uk, where you would hope people got security right, we found over 30 of these cameras out there, ready for people to hack. we're just looking at one brand of one device. but there are billions and billions out there. at least a quarter of homes have smart tech inside them.

imagine how many others are vulnerable. it's impossible to know how often people get hacked but ken has these tips for us to stay safe in the future. so, jo, the first thing i want you to do is to sort your passwords out. i want you to go and download a free password manager app that makes and manages all your passwords for you. so you don't have to remember passwords again. no having to remember complicated things anymore. make it really simple. next thing, check your wi—fi key — your wi—fi password at home. make sure it's not the one on the side of your home router. it's one that you've set that's long and complicated and only you know. and the last thing i want you to do is update everything. update the apps on your phone, update the software on your phone, make sure everything is kept up to date, because software updates fix security bugs. many of us would rather take the risk and have the gadget. but what about adrian? to be honest, no, i don't actually

see the relevance and benefit to me. but if you ever win the lottery one day and have a massive mansion, you might be tempted? i think if i ever win the lottery, i will probablyjust have a desert island somewhere that doesn't have any internet at all! here's a shocking statistic. every year, around 40,000 children seriously injure their brain. people like zack, who died twice and was left helpless after a fall in the playground. but now a pioneering project in cambridge is getting startling results for zack and those like him. here's our science correspondent, richard westcott. for most teenagers, this would be a doddle. going to the shop and buying some cake ingredients. but 15—year—old zack is just learning to shop alone. he rings mum, kat, for some reassurance. hi, darling.

hey, mum, ijust want to make sure i have the right things. granulated sugar and self—raising flour. no, you need plain flour. um, 0k. don't tell me you bought any chocolate. no, ididn't. are you sure you didn't buy any chocolate? yeah, i'm sure. after bagging them up... thank you. ..and making sure he's got the right change, it's back home to bake the cake. another new skill zack is trying. george! i mean, richard! did i hear my name? didn't work. george! didn't work. but have i got the payment we agreed earlier? did you manage to get it? yes. thank you very much. i see — you get something and i don't! well done. don't you go anywhere — you've still got to do some as well. a decade ago, zack was an everyday kid, sporty and doing well in class.

then, he banged his head at school. no—one knows how. kat says she was only rung several hours later. so, we think of a brain injury, you think you're going to turn up, there's going to be blood, there's going to be swelling. so there was no sign at all he'd hurt himself? the only sign that he had hurt himself was that he looked like a drunk person, really woozy — "mummy, i'm scared, help me." that's what i saw. then he vomited on me. that's when i thought it was concussion, because i thought, what can cause this? thinking on yourfeet, you're in shock, you don't know what's going on, your son is all over the place, and you're thinking, what? what? without anyone realising, zack had damaged the blood vessels around his brain and they were bleeding. by the following afternoon in hospital, he died — twice. and a nurse said — i heard a nurse say to another "it's a miracle they didn't need

to resuscitate him." he came back, he was brain dead, and he fought his way back. and he did. around 40,000 children injure their brain each year, either through an accident, an assault, a tumour, an infection or a stroke. i have three children and i love them all equally. but i couldn't imagine living without one of them. the brain is enclosed in a shell, isn't it? and that — do you know what that equates to? a child is like an egg that could fracture so easily. and it can only take one fall. like so many people who injure their brain, zack survived. but his personality didn't. right, zack, you're back. i've done my best. apologies. subside! 0k, right. now you need to add the zest. i had a highly intelligent child with a photographic memory who was a natural sportsman, very happy all the time, to a child that was angry, to a child that was physical,

to a child that screamed, to a child that had to learn how to use his limbs again. whoa! that was a good catch! no, it wasn't. zack, be nice, be polite. all right, in it goes. push it right in, close that. well done, zack. for a decade, kat struggled to piece him back together. then six months ago, she found help that is transforming both their lives. clinical psychologist doctor suzanna watson put zack through his paces at the cambridge centre for paediatric neuropsychological rehabilitation — a complex name for a simple idea. when a young person has had an injury like zack, they need all the expertise. what is great for the families is they come to the service and see everybody who they might need to see in one place, rather than going to

multiple different services which can take years. it is a one—stop shop to rehabilitate young people who have injured their brain. and, the only service of its kind in the uk. in fact it is one ofjust a handful in the world. the centre pull together experts on the skills needed to rebuild a life for their children and for their families. their latest case, a girl who was hit by a car. i guess some of the bits of assessment there shows she may well not be fully taking on board things that are going on around her. it is just so devastating that her friends potentially may be going off to college, and she may have to stay in school for another year in order to get the gcses. it must be really difficult for her. when you think about what we are going to do next, that... i can go in next week and find out how she is managing that 1—2 hours and whether that increase in time is realistic at this time,

perhaps i can work with the school to come up with some kind of reintegration plan. they need all the expertise of the people in this team. they need to be seen under the lens of a neurologist, a psychiatrist, an educational psychologist, an occupational therapist, a speech and language therapist. we need all of those people's expertise to make sense of what that means for them now, thought that means that their ability to access the curriculum, to make friends, to be able to participate in the same way as their peers might. they draw up an action plan for each patient. critically, they show the child's family and school teachers how they can help with the recovery. for zack's mother kat, it has been a lifeline. suzanna, i would say, is the first person who understands, and understanding is so important, to feel understood and to be helped.

if they don't get help, many people with a brain injury can become isolated and struggle to control their impulses. and society pays a high price. studies suggest they are far more likely to commit a crime and wind up in prison. shockingly, around 60% of young adult offenders say they have suffered a brain injury. it can happen very young, yet the full effects lay hidden for years. imagine that is the top of the head. neuropsychologist fergus gracey describes a brain injury as a biological earthquake. you can injure your brain around the age of say five and you might see some difficulties there, but what you won't see is the difficulties that that child may have at the age of 15. so 5—10 years down the line you may see an adolescent who uses inappropriate language, who's behaviour is not right to the situation.

misjudges social cues. that might be put down to that person's bad behaviour if you like, but really it is the consequence of the injury they had when they were five. let's get the cake out of the oven, put it on to... close the oven. the child will never be their old self again. but with this combined help, they can learn to cope with everyday life. and so can the people around them. the support i get from cambridge centre is amazing and it should be available to all parents whose children go through this sort of experience. because i have done a lot on my own, yes, and got quite far, but always felt very isolated. now i don't feel alone. that is good, isn't it! cut the cameraman! (laughs). the sights, sounds and cosy feeling

of a lazy sunday morning breakfast. this scene replicated across the land. but it has never been a day of rest if you are a vicar. sunday, busiest day of the week. and for reverend philip here, whose breakfast we have interrupted, it is exceptionally busy. he doesn'tjust have one church to look after, not two or three. he is a super vicar, overseeing nine churches in his part in suffolk. is it difficult thinking you have to get to all these different churches to do these services? yes. i am leading worship, so i want to be in a place where i am worshipping as well. you have to feel connected yourself, otherwise you won't be able to conduct the service. that's right. rather than just rushing in and going bread, wine, bread, wine, you want to be there for the whole service, to spend time with people, and feel that you are leading them and that you are worshipping yourself as well. i do cheat a little bit,

i have the same sermon at three different churches. it is a different audience! you can use the same sermon over and over again. reverend philip may look after nine churches in suffolk but he won't be conducting services at all of them today. however he will be holding five services throughout the day. three in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. he cannot do all nine. the others willjust have to wait their turn. why do you have to look after so many churches? they are small populations, and each individual parish would struggle to raise the money to pay for a priest of their own. so they grouped parishes together so they could afford to pay for a ministry. philip arrives at his first church in westall, at 8:15. it is tight, but he has made it. however the congregation is small — just three.

super vicars like philip are helping to keep churches alive, but the stark reality is congregations like this one are dwindling. therefore less money is donated for the church's upkeep, and ultimately some churches may have to close their doors for good. although the numbers here in westall are small, the congregation still feel this church is the heart of their community. obviously you are a small congregation here, but it is obviously very important to you to keep the church going. absolutely. yes. very important to keep the church going, it has been here for a long time. what does it mean for having reverend philip coming in, he is flying into different churches... they all have so many parishes these days, don't they. they have to spread themselves very thinly, which is a bit sad because it means they cannot really spend a lot of time in each parish. but philip really does his best. yes he does, he really does.

time waits for no—one, even super vicars. 0ne service down, four to go. how do you encourage people to come to church? it is something i think about a lot. the churches are loved, but there are quite a few people in each of the churches who will come and they will clean on a regular basis, they will do maintenance on a regular basis, but they won't actually come to worship on a regular basis. do you think religion has taken a downturn, do you think christianity has? religion has taken a downturn. people often say they are suspicious or they don't want to get involved in institutionalised religion. between 2011 and 2016 the church of england saw an 8% reduction in funerals, a 17% drop in weddings and the number of artisans fell

by almost one fifth. some people may say there is an argument for closing some of these churches that you cover, and concentrating on the ones where you have a larger congregation and encourage people to go to one church instead of keeping the other ones open. if we were a business, that is what we would do. and if you talk to some of the people in the congregation, they will say, clearly we need to do this. but you will talk to other people in the congregation and they will say no, we need to have our local church. people expect the churches to be there. it is not like running a business, churches still mean a lot to people, whether they go to church or not. that's right. philip has made the three mile journey to brampton, and he has even managed to beat some of the parishioners. good morning! the first hymn is going to be "oh what a beautiful morning". then it's sing...

# my saviour god to thee... pray... repeat. we have spent one sunday morning with reverend phil, he is a busy guy. but all the congregations are small, which means less money is being donated to the churches, and ultimately these buildings, these wonderful, historical buildings can fall into disrepair. because donations are the main way in which churches are paid for. we currently have 100 churches in our region on the historic england at risk register. one of those, at stuston in suffolk is on philip's rounds. he is meeting an adviser from a government led pilot scheme called the taylor review. it aims to help churches which need a bit of tlc, by offering advice and sometimes small amounts of money for repairs.

it can feel very overwhelming, looking up a historic building. because you are not trained in historic buildings, you are not trained as he curator of objects of buildings, that is why we can help offer you advice to get you on the track you need to be on. it is fortuitous that suffolk has been chosen as only one of two places in england where this scheme is being trialled. there is a lot of challenges with a building like this, looking around internally, there is a lot of issues with the plaster and masonry. a lot of these issues are stemming from the outside — getting the building watertight is a fundamental key to looking after the inside of the building. for suffolk there is £250,000 available for minor repairs grants, and there are a few things we can potentially help with. some people looking at this will say, come on, the church of england has plenty of money, why can't the church of england put some money into the

buildings to save them? the church of england is asset rich, cash poor. we have beautiful buildings like this which in terms of insurance value are in the millions of pounds. but if people want these buildings to be here they have to help to support them. hello. after reaching 17 celsius on friday, the uk's top amateur on friday, the uk's top amateur on friday, 1a, but we could add a few degrees helped by the sunshine. could be part of east of england see the higher temperatures. and we are all going to see a bit of sunday sunshine, either side of an area of cloud but the chance of rain spreading east across the uk. it is this weather system that is going to bring that cloud further east but it is going to weaken as it does so. so if you are holding out for a bit of wet weather across eastern areas, you could well be disappointed. this is how we are starting the day, so nowhere particularly cold. while many of us will get under way with

some sunshine, this area of cloud and rain is already affecting some of us in the west. it is very narrow, though, isn't it, as it moves into south—eastern and, wales, knocking on the door of north—west england, the bulk of it has gone through northern ireland, the odd shower following through northern ireland, the odd showerfollowing behind. some heavier burst to be had to western and northern areas of scotland. note the wind speeds, it is going to be a windy day and the wind strengthening of it though, maybe bringing some gusts around western scotland of around 50 mph or so. but there's another mild day. so we will follow this area of cloud and again the chance of rain further east. it will clear for northern ireland, chance of rain further east. it will clearfor northern ireland, much of scotland, wales, western england. the sunshine comes back, pushes into eastern scotland, threw into eastern parts of england eventually, but again we barely pick out any rain thatis again we barely pick out any rain that is left from this, most will stay dry. here are the wind speeds again, so it is going to be a blustery day. it is a mild direction, temperatures may be a little bit higher than they were on saturday, helped with some sunshine. eastern parts of england could see

16 for the top temperature. we will hold on to some cloud the east anglia and south—east england on sunday night and into monday morning. that could bring a bit of patchy rain. it stays blustery especially to the north—west. around low pressure we get these showers moving in, a little bit further south as well. frost is monday begins. so monday for many of us this sunny spells. the showers most frequent in the north—west, merging to give some longer spells of wet weather, especially in western butland. hail and thunder possible out of these. still rather cloudy and was the south—east with a chance of seeing a little bit of rain here, and temperatures are briefly taking and temperatures are briefly taking a little step backwards. but, after we get through a few weather systems as we go deeper into the week, it could well become very mild again later in the week. that's your latest forecast. you're watching bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: the battle to claim the last piece of territory held by islamic state fighters stalls because thousands of civilians remain trapped inside. the us says it won't give up fighting is. the united states will continue to work with all our allies to hunt

down the remnants of isis, wherever and whenever they rear their ugly head. us military planes carrying humanitarian aid for venezuela begin arriving at the border. president maduro calls it a coverfor a us invasion. and mourners have been paying their respects to footballer emiliano sala in his home town in argentina. the striker died in a plane crash last month.
