hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: a call for coronavirus vaccines to be available for all — as leaders from the world's biggest economies meet for an online summit hosted by saudi arabia. boris johnson faces questions about whether he tried to tone down an independent report which said home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. none of us want to see bullying or poor practices within the workplace, and the home secretary has been clear that she would never want to do that intentionally. the government is to change how it

invests in big spending projects, to ensure the north of england gets a fair share of the cash. five, four, three, two, one. zero. lift off. blast off for a satellite that will track rising sea levels — improving our understanding of climate change. now on bbc news, indonesia is the world's largest exporter of palm oil and in the last two decades, vast areas of forest have been cleared to make way for plantations. the remote province of papua, home to asia's most extensive remaining rainforests, has escaped fairly untouched, until now. this film investigates how papua has become the new frontier for aggressive palm oil expansion.

west papua, indonesia. some of the last untouched rainforests on the planet are being cleared to make way for oil palm plantations. indigenous tribes paid less than $10 us a hectare for their ancestral lands.

here, a south korean palm oil giant carried out deliberate and illegal burning on its land. you have to develop a technique that can determine if a fire is intentional or not. this can bring liability to big corporations who are in charge of these concession sites. the company at the centre of this story associated with the world's leading sustainable certification body. sings. the forest of west papua are some of the most biodiverse

in the world. filled with unique flora and fauna, these rainforests sacred and essential to the hundreds of indigenous tribes who call them home. mandobo tribal elder petrus kinggo explains how the sago palms that grow wild in these forests are a staple food for his community. six years ago he got involved in something that changed his tribe's fate forever.

he negotiated with a korean palm oil giant, called korindo, and persuaded his tribe and ten other clans to acceptjust $8 a hectare as compensation for their land. he shows our bbc team a map of the area he claims is his ancestral forest. this receipt showing he received just over $30,000 us for 5000 hectares of land.

korindo say they paid an additional $8 for the trees, an amount set out by the indonesian government, who gave them the permit. petrus says they felt pressure to sign. the company deny this and say all their dealings complied with indonesian law — laws made 4000 kilometres away in the capital, jakarta. west papua, a former dutch colony, became part of indonesia in the 1960s, after a controversial referendum overseen by the united nations.

jakarta maintains it is an integral part of the nation, recognised by the international community. but a low level separatist movement has been waged here ever since. translation: this is my land. our ancestors gave us this land. we want independence. indonesia has stolen our land from us. how long have we been suffering in the jungle, how many people have died? there are just so few of us now. last year, the biggest independence protest in decades turned into riots and ended in deadly clashes with the army.

control over the region's vast national resources — gold, copper and the forests — are one of the key flashpoints. despite its rich resources, it is amongst the poorest regions in indonesia. jakarta has vowed to change that, pumping money in, building infrastructure, and opening up the region to investors. korean palm oil giant korindo has benefited greatly. they now control more land in papua than any other company, clearing nearly 60,000 hectares of forests, an area the size of chicago or seoul. their vast plantations now protected by state security forces.

in may this year, when a local farmer turned up at the local office of korindo to complain about the destruction of his banana plantation, the police were called. three hours later, he was dead. his daughter grieves over his body, at the health clinic where he died.

police say he died of a heart attack. cctv footage seen by the bbc captures a police officer hitting him.

korindo, while having no role in his death, says they gave the family $15,000 us and will pay for his two children's education up to university. his daughter says nothing will make up for the loss of her father. our team heads deeper into the heart of papua to reach another korindo concession.

here also, our team found palm oil development has bitterly divided tribes and families. elizabeth left her village to work in the city. when she returned she found out her brother, now deceased, had sold their land to korindo. there is no electricity here or clear running water. those who can afford it use generators, but it costs four times more than in the capital, jakarta.

korindo turned down our repeated interview request, but said in a statement they have paid their compensation to communities and have put an additional $14 million us into social programmes. many of the tribe's allegations were investigated for two years by the leading global green certification body, forest stewardship council, or fsc, of which korindo is a certificate holder. the final report was never released but the bbc

obtained a copy. it found evidence that korindo violated the rights of papuans and benefited with close military ties for its own economic benefit. the report recommended korindo be stripped of its fsc membership, but they decided to work with them. the fsc logo is meant to tell you as a consumer that the product comes from an environmentally friendly and socially responsible company. the logo is used everywhere here in europe. it was on the sandwich napkin i was given with my lunch, and on the train ticket that got me here. we are here at the headquarters of the fsc to ask why this logo is being given to korindo. these things that happened in breach of our values, they were in breach of our values, they would remain in breach of our values. what is the best thing to do with that?

they happened, right? is the best thing to do is to say, they were in breach of our values, and we're not going to have anything to do with that anymore. that is one option, that environmentalists would say you are taking a strong stance and therefore maybe other companies will feel they cannot get away with it as well? the end result, i think, and the logic of the board has been, we want to see the improvements happen. we want to actually see if we can help those communities that have had problems, that have been treated in wrong ways, that have not been listened to, that have not been understood, to actually get something in terms of options, possibilities, remedy for what happened. remedy, he says, could be in the form of restoring forests, land rights orjobs. but he admits it will be a process that could take up to three years to work out. in a statement, korindo denied they were involved in any human rights violations, but acknowledged there is room

for improvements, and say they are implementing new procedures and economic programs for locals. the fsc‘s investigation found no evidence of deliberate and illegal use of fire by korindo. it's also something the company strongly denies. researchers from the group forensic architecture, based at goldsmith university, have been testing this claim. we had images and video footages that were looking, that were showing fire, and the smoke coming out of it, and it wasn't clear whether they were intentional or not. and with that, we started our research. this footage, taken from a plane by greenpeace indonesia in may 2013, shows stacks of timber burning. using clues in the image,

they located it in satellite images, inside a korindo concession. they then went back to 2011, when this area was all forest, and used a technique that detects patterns of land clearing from satellite images. the blue, thick vegetation. red shows cleared earth. so, when i play this month by month analysis, you will see that the pattern and the direction of clearing is very clear, it is moving from the central area, very clearly towards the east. next they added the heat sources picked up by nasa satellites, hotspot data, and they put the two together, over the same period of time. the patterns, the direction

and the speed with which fires were set matched perfectly with the direction, the pattern and the speed with which land clearing had occurred in this concession site. that is evidence that the fires were set intentionally. if the fires were set from outside the concession sides, or due to weather conditions, they would have moved with a different directionality. they would be diffused. they would be going up and down and south and west. but in the cases that we are looking at, there was a very clear directionality. korindo says there were many natural fires in the area, especially in 2015, due to an extremely long dry season. it insists all the land clearing was carried out with heavy machinery, and that the fires found in their concessions were started by villages to hunt giant wild rats hiding

under stacks of wood. the people living near this concession told our team a different story. another man said smoke from the fires covered their community for years.

every year in indonesia fires send a thick haze across the region, causing breathing problems and sending large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. if korindo had deliberately used fire to clear land it would be in breach of the law. the indonesian government turned down our request for an interview. the fsc says the company agreed to stop all further forest clearing for now. in august, the fsc board met again, deciding korindo was on track and that they would continue to work with them on improvements.

i believe there is a shift that needs to happen in korindo. they need to improve in a number of different areas and one of them is to actually seek and get the approval of the community. do they understand that? why would we ask for training of all their staff this year to happen if we thought they understood that? we don't think they understand. we think it is a new concept to them. isn't it too late for that? isn't this about putting a rubber stamp on something that has already happened? we are taking the bet, you could say, that what we are doing is the best chance for the people and the forest to get into a better situation faster than any other track we could have taken. elizabeth, whose brother took compensation for their ancestral forests from korindo, is sceptical that anything can

make up for what has been lost. others have decided to go and work for the oil pump company, hoping to build a new future there.

petrus is fighting to protect what is left of the mandobo tribe's forest that now fall within korindo‘s concession. he carries a heavy burden.

as investors eye this, one of the last untouched corners of the planet, petrus hopes other tribes hear his story. hello.

saturday brought a range of weather across the uk. for much of england and wales, there was a lot of cloud around, just limited glimpses of the sunshine — you may have seen a bit of rain — whereas, for scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies, a brisk and chilly wind, and there were few showers moving through. and it was all to do with where you were in relation to this weather front which, for part two of the weekend, for sunday, is reluctant to clear away from southern england with cloud and patchy rain, whereas elsewhere, in the clearer weather, some sunnier skies. you are in the colder air, mind you. still a breeze though not as strong as it was on saturday. there's still a chance for seeing a shower, more especially in northern and western scotland, though one or two for northern ireland and perhaps northern england. now, that weather front in southern england will keep a lot of cloud around here for much of the day. you may see some outbreaks of rain, especially along the south coast. some mayjust come back towards south wales during the day. still double—figure temperatures here whereas, for many of us, even they get to see a bit of sunshine. there is that chilly breeze.

and as we go on through sunday night into monday morning, still a few showers around towards western scotland, still some cloud close to this weather front in southern england, but all that starts to clear away, though, as we end up with high pressure, just a very brief ridge of high pressure building in for monday. and that promises a lot of fine weather to begin the day, still perhaps a few spots of rain down towards the south, but look at the cloud coming in from the next weather system. patchy rain to wales, western parts of england, some more substantial rain running into parts of northern ireland but especially in scotland and especially into the west and, with the wind picking up again, some gusts in the western isles around 60 mph and, instead of moving south, that weather system has a wriggle on it for tuesday, and we end up with more rain in many of the same areas. so a further spell of rain into northern ireland and in scotland, particularly in the west on tuesday. the chance of seeing some patchy rain in wales and western parts of england whereas central and eastern areas of england stay dry, get to see a bit of albeit hazy sunshine at times, and the temperatures go a bit higher.

the weather front, though, for wednesday does finally get a move on further south, taking some outbreaks of rain overnight into wednesday through parts of england and wales. it's a familiar story, it's a cold front, so behind that colder air starts to move in again but with some sunshine across the northern half of the uk for wednesday and a few showers still running in, especially towards western scotland. the weather front lingering, may have another pulse of energy along it towards the south and south—east of england on wednesday, so keeping some outbreaks of rain here. now, that should be gone by the time we go into thursday and, hello, another ridge of high pressure starts to move in on thursday. that will mean lighter winds, and that will mean, of course, a lot of dry weather around. there could be some fog patches to begin the day. once they are gone, we are left with some sunshine. still the chance perhaps, close to that departing weather front, of some lingering cloud towards the far south—east, and a weak weather front approaching the very far north—west will increase the cloud into the western isles. high pressure holding on into friday then, into the following weekend,

well, we mayjust see an atlantic weather front, weakening all the while, pushing its way in before high pressure may start to build back, so any weather changes that take place into next weekend, the start of the following week, will be very gradual indeed. the story of next week's weather is some rain at times, initially spreading southwards, the wind easing as that process takes place, then drier but colder to end the week.

tonight at ten... leaders of the world's richest nations, the g20, take part in an online summit hosted by saudi arabia. the meeting opened with a call for coronavirus vaccines to be made affordable and accessible to everyone especially the poorest countries it's only byjoining forces and working together that we will defeat coronavirus and build back better from this crisis. meanwhile, boris johnson faces further criticism after standing by the home secretary, priti patel, despite a report that
