with figures reaching record levels almost every day. among the world's most affected countries, the number of new infections is growing fastest in india by some margin. india is currently recording almost 82,000 new cases per day people in lebanon have observed a minute's silence a month after a massive explosion in beirut killed almost 200 people and left 300,000 homeless. rescuers are continuing to search in the rubble for possible survivors after some signs of life were heard on thursday. there's been condemnation of the appointment of the former australian prime minister tony abbott as an adviser to the new uk board of trade. he has previously been accused of homophobia and misogyny. downing street said that he negotiated a number of trade agreements while pm.

now on bbc news, click. this week: the largest cache of terrorist content ever discovered online. why is it so ha rd to discovered online. why is it so hard to take down? unfurling the latest phone. an stand—up comedian lockdown. it is no laughing matter. hey, welcome back. i hope you are doing 0k, we are still here for you, and we always will be. lara, how are you, how was your time off, do you feel refreshed? i certainly do, but is going to be back at work

even though that does just involves going to a quiet corner of my house and of course putting the click sign back up. how was your break? course putting the click sign back up. how was your break7m was quiet to be honest i managed to fill it doing things i have not had time to do during the last six months, is that a break? i am during the last six months, is that a break? iam not during the last six months, is that a break? i am not sure. during the last six months, is that a break? i am not surelj don't know, but it does feel like the start of a new chapter. it does, it does. september has always been an important month for me, and of summer, back to school and so on. but 19 years ago one terrible event defined one particular day in september like none other. i am of course talking about 9/11. it is easy to forget that the horrific september 11 attacks on the us happened before social media, before youtube, before it became easier to spread hate online, and recruit people to your cause. these days extremist and terrorist content keeps emerging on the internet,

and it always seems to be one step ahead of the authorities who are trying to clamp down on it. and now one researcher has discovered one of the largest living and growing collections of onlinejihadist living and growing collections of online jihadist material belonging to islamic state group. technology author carl miller met with the institute of strategic dialogue who are behind this crucial find. abu bakr al—baghdadi is dead. behind this crucial find. abu bakr al— baghdadi is deadm was the early hours of the morning. extremism specialist moustafa ayad was getting alarmed. following the death of the extremist leader the digitaljihad was raising a dirge to him on twitter. he noticed some things were strange. some had short

discrete links, not within their tweets but nestled in their tweets but nestled in their biographies. he clicked. it was a powerpoint. in folder that taught you how to hijack planes. in that folder is everything you need to know how to build your own bombs, create your own chemicals, plan attack, kidnapping operations, stabbing operations. things that teach you how to be a better terrorist essentially. when moustafa ayad told me a story i was completely astonished. they are just a click away in this folder, file after file, this vast multi—ethnic, faulty legal expense of terrorist content, bigger than anything i had ever heard of before. for moustafa ayad though, his story was just beginning. this one is much clearer, this is high—resolution. clearer, this is high-resolution. to his moral —— knowledge, this was the largest cash of is material ever discovered. more than

90,000 pieces of content in all. and although he did not know it then, it was also the first time it was being pushed into the outside world. and to his horror, this was no document dump, no static thing of the past. the contents of the cash were changing and growing. someone was editing the case live. what it proved was that despite concerted attem pts was that despite concerted attempts to clear extremist and terror content from the internet, and claims by various agencies they had been largely successful in doing so, isis is not defeated, it is still there, i live online. moustafa alerted the counterterrorism prosecutors in new york. as well as the met police and homer —— home office in london

towards the end of last year. ten months on, he is yet to hear back. there are thousands of schools for our cubs... heading it removed became a passion for moustafa and his team. they understand how not just to game platforms, they understand the power of the content that is contained within the caliphate cachet. while the documents remain up, the traffic going to them can be monitored. according to the researchers, be monitored. according to the researchers , access be monitored. according to the researchers, access to the cache is largely from young people, mainly 18—24 males based in the arab world. almost half of the traffic comes from popular social media sites and most of those clicks come from youtube. there are also the twitter accounts featuring links to the cache in their

bios, sometimes even embedded in images. these accounts are lucky to survive for a day in the face of twitter‘s enforcements, so is hijacks accou nts enforcements, so is hijacks accounts and tries to automatically create new ones co nsta ntly a nd automatically create new ones constantly and at scale. hijacks justin constantly and at scale. hijacksjustin bieber constantly and at scale. hijacks justin bieber fan page was used to host the links. as was used to host the links. as was in england rugby team supporter‘s account which was then unwittingly followed by then unwittingly followed by the team itself. it is important to recognise that not all of the cache's contents are violent. there are a lot of other ways of trying to entice people to islamic state and the food and lifestyle, even a health where, or at least heavily propagandise versions of them were all used as a way to try and entice people in. someone who knows from her student days how young people could be enticed is hadiyah. she now helps women who may be at risk of falling victim to online radicalisation and tells me it is often the risk of the

online lifestyle that pulls them in. so this is like having afun them in. so this is like having a fun party, and saying they have the ice cream that they wa nt have the ice cream that they want there, it is not a war zone it is a land of plenty, it is what advertising is so they are good at advertising. is what advertising is so they are good at advertisinglj is what advertising is so they are good at advertising. i have watched beheading videos, i have been in conflict zones. i have been in conflict zones. i have had people close to me die at the hands of terrorist groups. the fact that they are able to operate in such an extended operation is not only frustrating to be on a professional level but it is personally demoralising. the threat of the caliphate cachet extends beyond just propaganda on the internet. it is means through which people become

activated to do harm. the type of platform on which this caliphate cache sits makes it particularly tricky to pull out. no way, we are willing to lay down our blood on the soil. this woman is specialist in this area. the biggest development injihadist this area. the biggest development in jihadist use of technology this year has been their exploitation of decentralised websites. decentralised platforms. decentralisation software allows users to store and share content across the web at multiple locations. the servers used are owned by people rather than one company. the developers of these decentralised platforms have no way of acting against content thatis way of acting against content that is stored on user operated servers. 0r content that is shared across a dispersed network of users. it is really all about privacy, freedom, encryption. it is really the

control, the full control that they promised to give to users. that is what attracts jihadists to these platforms. and despite moustafa's team having a the authorities in both america and the uk, the cachet is still a line. in fact it has even got bigger. so we as a programme approached the authorities once again. london's met police acknowledged receiving the disclosure last year, and said...

the attorneys office for the eastern district of new york declined to comment. the thing is multiplying. it will continue to multiply unless we ta ke continue to multiply unless we take some sort of action. fascinating yet terrifying report there. carljoins me now, why do you think it was so difficult for the authorities to be able to police this co nte nt ? to be able to police this content? what the police have isa content? what the police have is a nightmare, you have the perpetrators in one country, you have the victims in another mat you have evidence sprayed all over the world, and it is unbelievably difficult if you are any police force anywhere in the world to reach across all those borders and bring them all back into anything that looks like an investigation level our court case. because what we did see in the film was the counterterrorism authorities in the us and the uk had been contacted, but that didn't seem to amount to a great deal. the

problem is that it is kind of everyone's problem and therefore nobody was ‘s problems. we might want to blame the police or the tech giants but there is a whole new kind of player in this game which is decentralisation. so suddenly there is not even really a tech giant or police force to pick up the phone and yell out. how do you think this content yell out. how do you think this co nte nt ca n yell out. how do you think this content can never be stopped? yell out. how do you think this content can never be stopped ?|j content can never be stopped?” think very clearly coming out of this we are learning that information is basically indestructible. you cannot destroy it, you can't kill it, it is very difficult to get rid of, and that means that invariably, the kind of territory which... so—called is has managed to carve out online is going to be much more difficult to ever fully kind of invade or defeat and any of the territory which they want held in the physical world. —— once held. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that uber enjoyed healthy tech —— introduced healthy tech in north america to make sure

passengers wear face masks. amazon's prime airfreight has been given permission to lift off by us regulators. and tesla showed off each model three production centre in china. we know face masks help stop the spread of coronavirus and now a new device from lg comes with air purifying tech as well. the mask feeds filtered air to the wearer and uses sensors to adapt fan speeds to help make breathing feel more normal. spot, the four legged robot has been deployed to take patient split‘ vitals in the us hospital. the boston dynamics machine carries a tablet so doctors can ask patients questions. four cameras as a skin temperature, breathing, pulse rate and blood oxygen levels from up to two metres away. artificially intelligent cctv cameras are being rolled out to detect if on sydney‘s rail network to improve safety for women travelling on public transport at night. and finally come up with some galleries

struggling to reopen, how about this entirely virtual art museum? foma, claims to be the first gallery virtually loan from institutions. find a gallery, cafe to catch up on even a garden for some tranquillity. this is samsung‘s third attempt ata this is samsung‘s third attempt at a folding phone and honestly, what a difference a year makes. compared to the original galaxy fold, everything has been improved. this is the samsung galaxy galaxy z fold two 5g. when the original galaxy fold went on sale in september 2019, it had a tiny screen on the outside, a huge camera notch on the inside and a metal finish this was a

total fingerprint. the outside screen is a sensible 2.6 inches, it‘s reduced to a sliver in the back is pleasant matte finish. everything is so much more refined, it makes last years galaxy fold seem like prototype, and that‘s what people say it‘s not always a goodidea people say it‘s not always a good idea to be an early adopter. but what is the use? evidently it combines the convenience of the phone with a screen the size of a tablet and some apps support mixed mode which splits the folding display and so you can watch youtube videos like this and in the camera, you can take photos like this, although i‘m not exactly sure why you would want to. although with the external display, you can use the phone as its own stand for video calls, which is quite useful. i think it would be quite nice if you can keep it on your desk sideways to see notifications of events although the lock screen is vertical only so it‘s

not really optimised for this and you get that feeling for a lot of apps. samsung acknowledges it needs more developers to modify their apps for this format and in time it will improve but this disconnect extends to the operating system. you can put your favourite apps on a wallpaper on the home screen, close the phone and they are gone because they are too independent home screens which is not how i expected it to work. the category of folding phones has definitely brought some excitement back into smartphones but it‘s difficult to say what will become the most popular format, if any. companies are still figuring out what works best. samsung‘s z flip, instead of expanding into a tablet, that unfolds in half and the new microsoft surface duo has two displays but the screens themselves don‘t fold. the latest effort from samsung still doesn‘t fold com pletely from samsung still doesn‘t fold completely that, there is a gap between two screens which i expect they will change in the future and crucially unlike a lot of flagship smartphones,

this is it water or dust resista nt this is it water or dust resistant and people are spending £1000 on a smartphone, probably don‘t want to get broken by dust although if you are rich enough to spend that much on the phone, you can probably buy a second one to spare. that was chris. now over the summer, one of the many festivals to be cancelled was the edinburgh fringe. usually thousands of performers descend upon scotland, bringing comedy, dance and theatre. this is a really big deal, i love this festival, and i love watching the comedians testing out the new material. but you had been making upfor new material. but you had been making up for it on line, haven‘t you? making up for it on line, haven't you? i have. i have been going to quite a few virtual comedy gigs and this is where comedians are finding new ways to get themselves heard. welcome to the covid arms, give mea welcome to the covid arms, give me a massive cheer for the start of the show. drop into the on line comedy club covid arms and you will find landlady

kerry prichard arms and you will find landlady kerry pricha rd maclean arms and you will find landlady kerry prichard maclean hosting stand—ups and while they do their gigs, so stand—ups and while they do theirgigs, so far stand—ups and while they do their gigs, so far the club has raised £100,000 for charity. 0ne raised £100,000 for charity. one of the things about not you get to know your kids a lot better because you are with them 24/7 so like you have thoughts like, i need to give the teachers a big present. but doing stand—up without being able to hear the audience‘s reaction is a tough gig. you really have to craft your routine e. new material is very ha rd to routine e. new material is very hard to do on line without an audience because it‘s so symbiotic, that relationship because you are basically taking this precious butterfly ofan taking this precious butterfly of an idea and like, is this rubbish, and they are like, yes, or no, let it fly, so you definitely need some kind of live audience when you do new material but if you are doing tried and tested, you know where funnies are. what's the point of saying anything amusing, there was no want to hear it? comedy panel shows on

tv and radio have also gone out without an audience and in many cases, without a studio.” without an audience and in many cases, without a studio. ijust realised, weirdly, i‘ve never been to your house. that's true. well we're certainly not to be inviting you anytime soon, nish. because of the lockdown. sure. one of the first was the mash, report with nisha kumar, hoping thejokes hit home. as a performer, i miss the audience is so much andi miss the audience is so much and i can tell the difference between my performances when i‘m in front of a live audience are not and when you‘ve got an audience, this light comes on. it's audience, this light comes on. it‘s rachel and marcus! and now, rachel and her husband, fellow comedian marcus, can hear the laughs again. you keep chatting and i will give it a go. we had a conversation,

that's the most upstaging thing you could do. that's made it worse. this is their weekly on line show at the always b comedy club and it has a large front row. i think the intro that we hear and see on these on line gigs is only ten people and it makes such a huge difference. it changes the gig, in my mind, completely and it improves, it means you can do yourjokes improves, it means you can do your jokes with the improves, it means you can do yourjokes with the correct timing. and as we heard earlier, a live audience is vital in helping comedians to nurture new material. after all, barnstorming routines don‘t arrive by default. all, barnstorming routines don't arrive by default.” would be going out at least five nights a week to play tiny venues with a brand—new allah and they pay a very small amount of money and i suppose, ina sense, amount of money and i suppose, in a sense, that‘s what the tuesday night ab she‘s —— abc show is, it‘s £3, which we regret, that is a bit too low

but it‘s £3 of us tumbling through a string of ideas, some of which will turn into, hopefully, great and long lasting routines that we do for the next year. james gill is the next year. james gill is the mc and warmup for the couple and he‘s found that there are certain hazards having an audience who live in their own living rooms. two of our regulars, and they are such lovely people, but they got a dog and so a couple of... again, you don‘t get this at the palladium. a couple of times, a comedian might be in the middle of a set, and you can see barking so i know that tim, quick as a flash is finding that box, clicking mute. this is a different world for comedians were so used to microphone, stage and very little else, and some are experimenting. i am... . little else, and some are experimenting. iam... . harry hill hides on the edge of his

web shots. 5g, isn‘t it? al murray‘s pub landlord character now preaches from the seller. and the virtual background video feature means that stuart laws is sometimes upstaged by himself during his gig. they are both brown sources, leave it. different sources for different courses. and some comedians have gone even more interactive. beautiful, great. this is how comedian monica gaga teaches improvisation and on line lessons. she is also pa rt on line lessons. she is also part ofan on line lessons. she is also part of an on line improv show called hell yeah where people improvise remotely with each other. she says the skill is useful in life and work as well is on the stage. if all of those key skills, like listening, being able to be open to failure, it‘s about

listening to yourself are not judging yourself and also it‘s about playing and creativity, something that i find as an adult, we kind of conditioned ourselves out of. if the situation happens and it‘s like, i know what i‘m doing and all of a sudden, it changes, and that‘s not panic inducing for you, it means that whatever situation you are put into, you are able to deal with it. comedy clubs are now starting to reopen in the comedians that i‘ve spoken to are gagging to get back to them but on line gigs mightjust get back to them but on line gigs might just stick get back to them but on line gigs mightjust stick around. 0ne gigs mightjust stick around. one thing that‘s come out of this is, i think, that when, and death, my two comes back, i will have a digital date on the tour. it also means that anyone who wasn‘t able to get a ba bysitter who wasn‘t able to get a babysitter that night or whatever, or has anxiety, gets to go and see it as well. but if anyone can visit a gig anywhere in the world, it does cause a problem for comedians we re cause a problem for comedians were still burning their act.

you‘re just blasting through material. when i do a tour, each night is special, you can talk about where you are with the rest of it, broadly speaking, i do that same show every time with stuff that is special to that night. you can‘t do that on line and therefore what you develop, it can‘t get good in the same way. they‘re because you can‘t repeat it. but who knows? maybe a new generation of live comics will be born out of this situation who can make the medium work in new ways. after all, how many gigs have you been to that and like this? saturday night, saturday night, saturday night, saturday night, saturday night... and that is it for this week. we hope you‘ve enjoyed the programme. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. bye—bye.

hello there. it‘s going to feel rather cool this weekend, certainly the time of year. it‘s going to feel rather cool this weekend, certainly for the time of year, and that‘s because of where our air mass is coming from — from the northwest on a brisk breeze. that‘s going to feed in some showers into northern and western parts of uk, but there will be some sunshine around too. the winds maybe not quite as strong as what we had over the last few days. low pressure to the north0east of the uk, low pressure to the north—east of the uk, high pressure to the south—west that‘s why we see these northwesterly winds, which will feed in showers from the word go across northern and western areas. some good spells of sunshine further east, mind you, but then we could see some longer spells of rain and more cloud

pushing into northern ireland and then southwest scotland, northwest england, north wales through the day. some of these showers will be driving through the cheshire gap into the midlands. temperature—wise, 18 degrees at best in the sunshine in the south—east, generally the low—mid teens further north. now, through saturday night, it looks like a weather front will move into western areas to bring more prolonged showery rains through northern ireland and across the irish sea into wales and the south—west of england. there could be odd shower elsewhere too, probably driest and clearest across south—east england and north—east scotland. but it‘s going to be another quite cool night. now, as we head on into sunday, you will see fewer isobars on the chart, so less windy, but we have had this weather front which would‘ve been moving across the irish sea then pushing into england and wales during the course of sunday. that‘s going to enhance the shower activity for england and wales. there could be the odd heavy, maybe even thundery one. fewer showers for scotland and northern ireland, and more sunshine here. because the winds will be lighter, it might feel a degree or so warmer, a high of 19 degrees in the south—east. then, as we head on into next week monday, we see a new area of low pressure skirting to the north of the uk. that‘s going to bring some wet and windy weather

to many northern parts of the uk. some of that rain getting into northern and western england and wales through the day, but not really reaching the south—east here. after a bit of a foggy start, it will tend to stay dry with variable cloud and some sunshine. notice the temperatures creeping up, especially in the south, a high of perhaps 21 degrees. that warmer air mass will be with us as we move through tuesday and wednesday, as you can see with the deeper orange colours here. but it is short—lived — cooler air will make a return from the north by the end of the week. given some sunshine in the south, because it‘s going to be rather cloudy, i think, next week, we could see 24—25 degrees. but hen it cools down for all areas by the end of the week.

welcome to bbc news — i‘m james reynolds. our top stories: as india hits four million coronavirus cases — experts warn the pandemic could spiral out of control. even could spiral out of control. at a low death rate, if the even at a low death rate, if the virus continues to spread, but still means hundreds of thousands of indian lives are at risk. lebanon marks a month since the explosion that destroyed large parts of beirut, killing nearly 200 people. the former australian prime minister tony abbott is appointed as a trade adviser to the uk — despite critics describing him as a misogynist and a climate change denier. and barcelona superstar lionel messi changes his mind over leaving barcelona, now he says he doesn‘t
