hello, i'm babita sharma, welcome to outside source. ghislaine maxwell — the associate and ex—girlfriend of financierjeffrey epstein — has been arrested by the fbi. maxwell enticed miners to got them to trust her and then delivered them into the trap that she and deb steyn had set for them. china goes on the attack, after growing international criticism of a new security law it has imposed on hong kong.

the us records its largest number of new coronavirus infections in a single day. the country's top infectious disease expert warns an even greater outbreak could be on the way. welcome. ghislaine maxwell — the associate and ex—girlfriend of disgraced financier jeffrey epstein — has been arrested by the fbi. this is ms maxwell — she's facing six charges — among them, recruiting and grooming girls — one as young as m — this for this man you can see in this photo with her — this for this man you can see in this photo with her — jeffrey epstein, a convicted paedophile who died last year while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. ms maxwell has previously denied any involvement in or knowledge of her late friend's alleged sexual misconduct. she is being prosecuted by the southern district of new york, who outlined the charges in a press conference. maxwell lied because the truth, as alleged, was almost unspeakable.

maxwell enticed minor girls, got them to trust her, then delivered them into the trap that she and epstein had set for them. and she pretended to be a woman that they could trust, all the while she was setting them up to be sexually abused by epstein and in some cases by maxwell herself. ms maxwell was arrested by the fbi, in bradford, new hampshire on thursday morning. here's what the fbi said about the arrest. we have been discreetly keeping tabs on maxwell's whereabouts as we work this investigation and more recently we learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in new hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims lived with the trauma inflicted on them years ago. we moved when we were ready and ms maxwell was arrested without incident. american lawyer lisa bloom represents a number of women who say they were abused byjeffrey epstein. she spoke to the

bbc a short while ago. ghislaine maxwell has always been at the centre of this case. jeffrey epstein did not act alone. jeffrey epstein, if he had gone out and try to solicit underage girls, many of them would have been suspicious, theirfriends and families would have been suspicious, but because he had a woman, ghislaine maxwell, go out, meet girls and entice them and recruit them, they let their guard down and thought they were safe with a woman. ghislaine maxwell is a friend of prince andrew — in a bbc interview the duke of york said he had last met ms maxwell in 2019, before epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges. however, he said they did not discuss epstein. but questions remain about this photo — an american woman, virginia giuffre , says this is her with prince andrew and ms maxwell, after she was brought to britain at the age of 17 to have sex with prince andrew. he denies this took place and says he does not

recollect ever meeting her. today, prosecutors reiterated their desire to speak to him over this issue. i am not going to comment on anyone‘s status with this investigation but i would say we would welcome prince andrew coming in to talk with us. we would like to have the benefit of his statement. prince andrew's legal team say they are bewildered by his request for a statement as they have contacted the department ofjustice twice in the past without reply. let's get the latest from katty kay in washington. we understand within the last half hour ghislaine maxwell has appeared in court. what to know happened? she didn't appear in court. what to know happened? she didn'tappear in in court. what to know happened? she didn't appear in person, it was by video link and it wasn't broadcast but some reporters were allowed to dial in the

appearance. she has refused to bail, she has waived her right to bail. this in legal terms mean she set up to move from new hampshire to manhattan where she will will be arraigned, where any bail hearings will take place, so that'll happen at a later date. this is her first appearance that'll happen at a later date. this is herfirst appearance by that'll happen at a later date. this is her first appearance by video link after being arrested earlier today. and of course this once again pushing the case and all the allegations surrounding jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell and in turn, whether or not prince andrew was a witness on this back to the spotlight on the media for rory around this. it was grim listening to the press conference on the prosecutors today about how they say she entrapped these girls and at one point even took part in the sexual abuse of these girls. it was pretty explicit in terms of what she had done, setting out topless massages with them and that kind of

thing. she was described as a villain in this piece but the other villains are the other men who may have been involved with jeffrey are the other men who may have been involved withjeffrey epstein. and listening to the press conference today, you have to wonder, are the powerful men around the world calling up their lawyers right now who might be feeling nervous because ghislaine maxwell had all of the information and it has taken a year for prosecutors to decide to arrest her because they said they were building their case systematically. and now they feel they have a very strong case, but what else does she know, who else does she know about? or else came know, who else does she know about? orelse came in know, who else does she know about? or else came in contact withjeffrey epstein? who else was involved in the sexual abuse of young girls? that is all things she potentially knows and could trade for leniency in her sentencing potentially with the authorities, so a lot of people are not going to like hearing this if they had anything to do with jeffrey epstein, one suspects. china has responded forcefully to international criticism of the new, controversial security

law which gives beijing more control over hong kong. beijing has told several countries that have condemed the new law to ‘stop interfering in hong kong affairs' — and said they will retaliate to the uk government's decision to offer a path to british citizenship for up to 3 million hong kongers. the british side neglects china's stance and insists on changing the policy to provide a path for those people to stay and get citizenship in the uk, which seriously violates their promise. the chinese side strongly condemns this and reserves the right to make further responses. all consequences will be borne by the british side. you said the same thing in may that china would potentially respond. what will be the point at which china will actually act? please wait patiently. now is not the time yet.

that was the bbc‘s stephen mcdonell doing the questioning there — and here's his analysis of beijing's answer. one thing people have been asking is why doesn't the chinese governmentjust say, all right, if you want to leave, leave. think of all the troublemakers it could get rid of in this way, but this isn't really how the chinese government roles. chinese nationality, it's a blood thing, and all of those residents of hong kong, they are inextricably linked to the mainland and the motherland whether they like it or not to the idea ofjust letting people go because they don't like how things are going doesn't appeal, and yet i think behind closed doors there would be some just thinking, we have been trying to work out how to control that rebellious city for a long time anyway. one way they have been trying to think of is to build flats to allow more mainlanders to move then who might be more

loyal to beijing. but despite the threats from beijing, australia has also said they are considering a similar move to the uk — offering a ‘safe haven‘ for anyone wishing to leave hong kong. a move that further escalates already tense relations beween the two nations over coronavirus and china's alleged political interference in australian politics. and in the united states, the senate and the house of representatives have voted unanimously to approve new hong kong—related sanctions that penalise banks that do business with chinese officials. the legislation has been sent to president trump forfinal approval. here's the house speaker nancy pelosi. when beijing announced its intention to pass the so—called national security law, we we re concerned. it's frightening. it is nothing short of an all out effort to negate the rights of the people of hong kong in violation of the agreements made

under the one country, two systems. we were concerned of what it might be and it exceeds even those horrors. the law is a brutal, sweeping crackdown against the people of hong kong intended to destroy the freedoms they were promised. nancy pelosi was speaking there at a us congressional hearing on hong kong where they heard from a number of pro democracy activists — including one prominant movement leader nathan law who has already fled hong kong. he's a former pro—democracy politician who was previouslyjailed for his role in the 2014 umbrella movement protests. he told the hearing that he had to leave the territory because he was worried about returning for fear of being imprisoned again under the new security law. through fear, intimidation and heavy—handed governance beijing turns hong kong intojust another chinese city while trying to keep its outer shell. in doing so, it hopes to preserve

the illusion that the city is still autonomous. the international community must not be confused. carrie lam and her entire cabinet are puppets with no power to make meaningful decisions. the high degree of autonomy once promised, it's just another blatant lie. but not everyone has been as critical of china. earlier this week cuba welcomed the law at the un on behalf of over 50 countries, warning against interfering in the affairs of other countries. we believe that every country has a right to safeguard its national security through legislation and commend relevant steps taken for this purpose. in this context we welcome the adoption of the law of the people's republic of china regarding national security and hong kong administrative region. as well as china's reformation of the one country, systems guideline. one group which is opposed to the new law is democracy for hong kong. their aim is to unite people in

the united kingdom who are concerned about hong kong politics. but while they welcome the uk's citizenship offer, a spokesperson for the group — who didn't want to be identified —— we'll call him ‘ben‘ — told the bbc that the uk and other nations can do much more to help. there will be quite a lot of people considering moving to the uk but a lot of hong kong are willing to go to prison instead of going to uk. i mean, we have always been asking for sanctions to officials in possession in hong kong and china who are responsible for legislature to restrict human rights and freedoms of hong kong people. and that's one thing that uk could do and coordinate with other countries as well. and also, extend the life boat strategy and also any future trade deal with china or hong kong, they should consider the human rights

situation into consideration as well. nearly five million jobs were created in the united states last month — a record figure and much higher than expected as many businesses — like restaurants and bars — rehired staff after the coronavirus pandemic began. but that was before a new surge in cases — yesterday alone more than 50,000 people tested positive — a new daily record. and the us public health expert anthony fauci told the bbc that there could be 100,000 cases a day if more isn't done to stop the virus spreading. here's the democrat presidential candidate, joe biden. america is now into its fourth month of emergency measures today's report is positive news and iam today's report is positive news and i am thankful for today's report is positive news and i am thankfulfor it, for today's report is positive news and i am thankful for it, for real. today's report is positive news and i am thankfulfor it, for real. but make no mistake, we are

still in a deep, deepjob hole because donald trump has so badly bungled the response to coronavirus and now has basically given up on responding at all. with more on the situation in the us here isjon sopel. america is now into its fourth month of emergency measures to tackle coronavirus, and the situation is getting worse, way worse. yesterday broke all records, with 52,000 new cases recorded in a single day, with hospitals like this one in houston, texas, drowning in a sea of covid. speaking to the bbc, america's top infectious disease expert and adviser to the white house expressed grave concerns. all you have to do is look at the news at night and you see people congregating in bars without masks, congregating in different types of groups that are well beyond the recommended number of people. what happens when you do that and you don't wear a mask, you get the kind of outbreaks we're

seeing. but though many in the us are wearing facial coverings, a sizeable chunk refuses, and an almost real men don't wear masks attitude, a viewpoint that at times has been aided and abetted by the president. can you take it off? i cannot hear you. major i'lljust be glad of. you want to be politically correct. this rally was in arizona last week, where cases are going through the roof, but at no point did donald trump tell anybody they should put on a face covering, and he has never been filmed wearing one, although he now says that might happen. i'd have no problem. actually i had a mask and i said i liked the way i looked, i thought it was ok, i looked like the lone ranger. a sign of the division in america, maybe even the madness, that the simple act of wearing a face mask has become political, and notjust a matter of public health during a pandemic. there is a danger that this becomes the new frontier

in the culture wars which pits conservative against liberal. the past two weeks have been a torrid and horrid time for donald trump. today, his bounce was back, with good news on the latest unemployment figures. these are historic numbers at a time that a lot of people would have wilted. but with many states that had open to talking about shutting down again and those that were about to open plans on hold, america's coronavirus nightmare, on health and the economy, is a very long way from over. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. stay with us on outside source, still to come: we've got a special report on the facebook ads boycott — mark zuckerberg says the advertisers will be back — but is facebook losing control of the situation? in england, plans to ensure

all children are back in full time school after summer have been set out. here's bra nwen jeffreys with some of the details. come september, they will be sharing a desk. social distancing will almost disappear. they new bubble, a year group of 240 teenagers. it is a natural instinct to go towards students and even if you're desperately trying to keep two metres away from them, your reaction is as a student, your guard might drop every now and then. this is how any confirmed covid—i9 cases in schools would be handled. one case and direct close contact would self—isolate. two or more cases within a fortnight and a larger group or even year group would self—isolate. if an outbreak is confirmed, a mobile unit might test a class, your group or the whole school.

this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. british socialite ghislaine maxwell, has been arrested by the fbi — charged with playing a role in the sexual exploitation and abuse of girls by financierjeffrey epstein. let's look at some of the day's other news. the funeral of ethiopian musician hachalu hundessa has taken place in his hometown of ambo, west of addis ababa, amid tight security. hachalu, who raised public grievances in his songs, was shot dead on sunday. his killing has sparked a wave of protests that have left at least 80 people dead. bbc afrique. more than 160 bodies have been recovered in myanmar after a landslide engulfed a jade mine. a torrent of mud and water cascaded into a valley where the victims were trying to find precious stones. many other people are still missing. bbc burmese.

a pan—european police operation has cracked a custom—made encrypted messaging network. major criminals used it to move drugs and weapons, and to commission murders. french, dutch and british forces were able to read messages on the encrochat service in real time. some revealed imminent attacks, triggering immediate police action. let me show you these images from one of the many raids across britain. those loud bangs you hear are actually a distraction device designed to prevent a hostile response. raids like these have been going on for months. more than 800 people across europe have been arrested, most of them in britain, including what the country's national crime agency called iconic, untouchable criminals. the agency tweeted this: ‘entire organised crime groups have been dismantled during operation venetic with 746 arrests

being made and {slim criminal cash, 77 firearms and over 2 tonnes of drugs seized so far. here's the metropolitan police. thanks to our partners in the national crime agency and internationally, we have been able to hit the most senior levels of organised crime. encrochat was used by 60,000 criminals worldwide, 10,000 of those users were in the uk. the police only went public about today about it because word had got out that their messages were being read. here's tom symonds. it looks like a normal android phone but these sell for between £803,000 because they had some added functionality which allowed criminals to do what they do.

john is going to show us. you can take it away. if you found this on the street you would have no idea there was anything else on the phone. if you press the power button in another fashion, it looks like the phone is restarting and in the process starts again, so it boots up but this time it is going to go into a secured operating system which hides the encrypted applications. and what did those applications allow criminals to do? next — here's ros atkins' latest deep dive — this time, on the facebook ad's boycott. think of facebook‘s size, all built on targeted ads and with one man in charge. i don't think any one individual, one company should be making so many decisions about important values for society like free expression and safety. but is facebook losing control? can it manage misinformation and hate speech? facebook is certainly under pressure. it is facing an advertiser boycott that is growing by the day.

it was started by the campaign stop hate for profit. it lists the content it wants gone from facebook and instagram. this includes white supremacy, anti—semitism and vaccine misinformation. and the message resonated. all these companies have now joined the boycott. lego says it wants to contribute to a positive, inclusive digital environment. the language is more stark from clothing company patagonia. the business model is flawed and they failed to take the steps necessary to remedy it and no more than ever they are endangering human health and weakening democratic systems. and concerns about content on facebook are global. from islamophobia in new zealand, ethnic tensions in india and mistruths from donald trump. facebook has its defence. nick clegg is vp of global affairs and communications and in an open letter he says facebook does not profit from hate. he goes on to say that from more than 100 billion posts every day a tiny fraction are hateful, though of course even a fraction

of 100 billion is a lot. facebook also highlights its policy targeting content from dangerous individuals and organisations, and new campaign offering advice on misinformation and a new oversight board which will review content though has not yet. and identifies facebook as identifying a quarter of the hateful speech the 88% of it. critics say it is not enough and three issues cut to the heart of this. the first is the scale of facebook. nick clegg argues rooting out the hate is like looking for a needle in a haystack. we can't eliminate all hate speech, he says. on one level he is right. the volume of content is vast and ever expanding. any system would struggle to monitor it all, but this isn't all or nothing. this is about reducing the content and making it harder to find, which leads us to the next issue of which content is targeted. who decides what is truthful and what is hateful? this is mark zuckerberg speaking to the bbc.

what you want to generally allow is as wide an aperture of expression as possible across the internet. he also says he doesn't want facebook to be an arbiter of truth but this boycott is asking all tech firms to be arbiters and they are reaching different conclusions. twitter labelled a donald trump tweet is glorifying violence. the streaming service twitch has suspended the trump campaign because of hateful conduct, referring to a 2015 trump speech in which he accuses mexico of sending rapists to america. facebook for its part says it has zero tolerance hateful posts but hasn't removed anything by the president. matters of truth and hate are sometimes clear, often not. it is a judgment and that tension around what stays and what goes will not be easily resolved. so we have looked at scale, at the finding truth and hate. next the issue of responsibility. does facebook simply reflect reality? the response to the boycott has restated to a facebook‘s

long—standing beliefs, that the vast majority of the conversations on its platform are positive, and secondly, this. when there is hate on the world there are also be hit on facebook. facebook believes it his force for good and is motivated to make the world better and reflect society. not so argues walter isaacson. he says facebook does not just reflect hatred and resentment, it amplifies them intentionally for profit. they are smart enough to fix this if they want to, he says. there are also smart enough to know the share price of facebook as it navigates controversies. facebook feels pressure but extraordinary success means it is not easily bumped off course by boycotts and anything else. and i will finish with one important distinction. no doubt people are proving highly susceptible to misinformation and hate speech on the internet, but facebook isn't the internet. it is a business with online products and within its domain it sets the rules.

mark zuckerberg still controls these platforms. he has plenty of options and some choices to make. that's it from the team, see you again soon. next up coronavirus news. see you soon. there we are layer on wednesday afternoon watching the bbc news channel and up popped a friend of the podcast, the global health expert from lse and then, you all know what happened. so how can we make sure they are getting the right data now so we don't have the problem again. what is your daughter called? scarlett. i think it looks better on the lower shelf. and it's a lovely unicorn! what's his name? to stop me if you

need to crack on. christian. i'm just deciding where itiuiti christian. i'm just deciding where mum wants it to go. just on that sheu mum wants it to go. just on that shelf is great, i'm very sorry! and claire is here now! how of the last 24 hours been for your? been a bit weird thenjust 24 hours been for your? been a bit weird then just hearing that clip makes me feel sick thinking about it. it's always weird hearing your own voice, i am sure you guys know that but seeing what's happened and what's blown up in the last 24 hours, it's all a bit weird. talking of that, normally and have lots of questions about global health policy and the pandemic but we only want to talk to scarlett! where is she? she really wa nted talk to scarlett! where is she? she really wanted to come on and i told how excited everyone is going to be to talk to her but we are currently having fish finger gate. i told her she couldn't come on until she finished them and i thought it might

make it work but the well of a three—year—old are strong. make it work but the well of a three—year—old are stronglj make it work but the well of a three-year-old are strong. ijust wonder because you were on the today show on nbc in america. the biggest programme in the world!|j show on nbc in america. the biggest programme in the world! ijust wondered if she was too big for is now! something like that. it was really weird, one of my best friend was in kansas and was ringing saying, what are you doing on my tv, i don't know! where is the unicorn tonight? it is only top shelf where she left it. terrific policing, i think. lovely to catch up with you, next time we are and i promise we will talk about the latest on the lockdown in panama or the executive committee of the world health organization or something like that. always here to chat policy! and if you could let scarlett know that if she does want to tune into this minor television and podcast we're going to be talking about schools, air bridges, and actually we do have some other celebrities on. don't they say never work with children

and animals and we have scarlett having a fish fingers and not even coming to the tv and we are trying to have labradors later in the programme! we are going to have animals on this edition, what could possibly go wrong! it is adam in the studio and laura in the studio two metres apart and chris and another studio about 20 metres away. none of your children going to jump into that cupboard ?|j none of your children going to jump into that cupboard? i have padlocked the door. they might be coming towards our studio. you like sending them in your direction. today, children across england use maybe they hadn't been waiting for. in september, everyone will be going back to school in england. that is 8.82 million children and the news was announced by gavin williamson,

the education secretary at our old friend the downing street daily briefing which came back for one day only. from september, attendance will once again be mandatory and no child should be out of school unless it has been agreed. this would be crucial if we are to minimise the effect of this pandemic on every child's long term education development. there was a bit of a false start, wasn't there, about schools going back? because initially the government was my dream scenario was all primary school children would be back now. absolutely. many people taking different views across the country of what is possible and what is not possible because no school is identical and the government has been heavily criticised for not taking more of a kind of forceful national role and

saying, look, this is how it is meant to happen, we will do everything we can so therefore either return in september... there isa either return in september... there is a lot of pressure on that because the government cannot afford to have a political mess up twice in a row by not providing clear and offer guidance but today the guidance that came out, that is another whole load of rules and regulations in itself and will not be straightforward. you could do a gcsejust and will not be straightforward. you could do a gcse just on that. that is an idea. let's work through these guidelines. we are joined is an idea. let's work through these guidelines. we arejoined now by francesca craig. hello. thank you for having me. i like a mass of headphones. looks like you're going to bea headphones. looks like you're going to be a dj. we look... there was a lot of stuff to get you. you might as well go through what might be a typical school day from september for you. let's start off getting to school, what all the bus be like? principally, this will be one of the

most
