this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are latest headlines in the uk and around the world. former police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. a massive crackdown on global crime after the fbi created a secure messaging app and got criminals around the world to use — revealing their hidden activities, leading to hundreds of arrests, the seizure of tonnes of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tonnes of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruit. we were able to see hundreds of kilos of cocaine

concealed in canned goods. uk holiday—makers scramble home as portugaljoins the amber list from today. it is good that they are being cautious, but i think that people should have been given a little more notice than 304 days to get back, it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements —— than three orfour days to get to make arrangements —— than three or four days to get back. if you are aged 25 to 29 in england you're being told you can now book your first covid vaccine — nhs england says we're on the home straight. a warning that nhs and care staff in england are so burnt out that it has become an emergency. is that you? are you an nhs or social care worker in feeling overwhelmed or burned out? what do you need to help you? you can get in touch with me on twitter or instagram @vicderbyshire, or on email at victoria@bbc.co.uk days after suspending bowler ollie robinson, the england and wales cricket board is investigating a second england player for posting offensive material on social media in the past.

it occurred when he was a teenager. bleep. she screams. that woman had told the council her ceiling could collapse — and it did. that, by the way was the second time. we'll talk to her later. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. wayne couzens has pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and rape of sarah everard. he isa he is a former metropolitan police officer. he is also charged with the 33 year old's murder.

the defence told the court couzens accepts responsibility for the killing but wasn't asked to enter a plea as medical reports are needed. appearing via video link from belmarsh prison, the former officer kept his head bowed as he said "guilty, sir" to both kidnapping and rape counts. sarah everard disappeared walking home in clapham in south london on 3rd march. her body was found in woodland in kent a week later. a nature international operation against organised crime has resulted in the most significant effort to date in disrupting the activities of criminals operating around the world. europol, working with the fbi and other agencies, confirmed more than 800 people had been arrested after police in six countries were able to monitor encrypt its communications because criminals were using a messaging app secretly

developed by the fbi. more than 700 locations were search, more than eight tonnes of cocaine were seized. in the past hour, calvin shivers of the fbi told a news conference in the hague that the success of operation trojan shield was due to unprecedented international collaboration ——— and he outlined its magnitude. they often use encrypt it platforms to shield their activities. these platforms help criminals facilitate drug trafficking, violent assaults, murder live, public corruption, money laundering and many other crimes committed around the world. through operation trojan shield, the fbi and our international border enforcement partners from around the globe were able to turn the tables on criminal organisations and gain access to their communications in

order to disrupt criminal activity. over the last 18 months, the fbi provided criminal organisations, over 300, as mentioned by my colleague, in over 100 countries. encrypted devices allowed us to monitor communications. there are a number of things that resulted from this, not only have we heard about the number of arrests and seizures that there were over 300 threats to life that were mitigated. to give you an idea of the magnitude of our penetration, we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tonnes of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruits, we were able to see hundreds of kilos of cocaine concealed in canned goods. the success of operation trojan shield is a result of

tremendous innovation, dedication and unprecedented international collaboration, and the results are staggering. here's a but more detail about the operation. it all began after the fbi decided to target encrypted messaging services, thought to be used by organised crime. it first dismantled two existing services and then began operating its own encrypted device company called anom. devices with the chat app were distributed in the criminal underworld. australian police said the devices were initially used by alleged senior crime figures, giving other criminals the confidence to use the platform. police said fugitive australian drug trafficker hakan ayik was key to the sting, having unwittingly recommended the app to criminal associates after being given a handset by undercover officers. officers were able to read millions of messages in real time describing murder plots, mass drug import plans and other schemes.

new quarantine restrictions have come into force for passengers returning to england from portugal. the country has been moved from green to the amber list of destinations, meaning travellers must take two lab—approved covid tests while they self—isolate at home for ten days. thousands of british tourists were caught up in a scramble to get home before the deadline passed. richard galpin reports. just last month, portugal was put on the green list of countries by the uk government, british holiday—makers not needing to self—isolate on their return home. bookings surged. but last thursday, the government announced a series of changes for many countries, including portugal, which was put on the amber list. from this morning, holidaymakers will be required to pay for at least two covid tests, while quarantining on their return home. as a result, people have been scrambling to get back to the uk

before the deadline, with holidaymakers queuing to book flights. kirsty, who lives in london, says it's expensive. it's a massive inconvenience and obviously costs everyone a lot of money to have to come home and cut their holidays short. and with such short notice, i think, as well, is the main thing. in a way it's good that they're being cautious. but i think that people should have been given a little bit more notice than just three or four days to get back, because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. the cunningham family in hampshire is also dismayed. absolute joke. the social distance is brilliant. everything's under control. everyone's wearing masks everywhere, even on the beaches. you have to wear it outside and everyone abides by the laws. it's an amazing country and they're abiding by the rules much better than the english people are, and i'm english and i'm embarrassed. so you think the british government have got it all wrong then? absolutely. i don't think they've got it all wrong.

i think that was a very bad decision to change it to amber. we've just met some people who've had their flight cancelled and they've got to pay an extra £800. they've got children. it's just wrong. the government says it's acted because there's been a near doubling of positive covid cases in the last few weeks, and because of concerns of a mutation of the delta coronavirus variant. richard galpin, bbc news. if you are over the age of 25 in england you can now book your appointment for yourfirst covid jab. the head of nhs england, sir simon stevens, said the country is now in the home straight of the vaccine roll out. our health correspondent jim reed reports. lines snaking around twickenham stadium in west london last month. at a handful of pop—up sites like this, younger age groups have already been offered vaccines. from this morning, though, all those over 25 in england will start to receive a text message asking them to formally book an appointment.

the government says the goal of vaccinating all adults with a first dose by the end of next month is now in sight. i'm sure that we've all been cheered by the images that we've seen of so many eligible young people coming forward and lining up to get the jab, showing that the enthusiasm for the jab is notjust the preserve of older generations. in england, 76.4% of adults have had a first vaccine dose. in scotland it's the same. in northern ireland, where it's just over 75%, all over 18s can already book a jab. that's also the case in wales, where 86.5% have already received that first dose, one of the highest rates in the world. the fact it's opened up to everyone, i think, just means we can get to a state of normality quicker, and it allows bars and clubs, and even libraries and universities, to get back to normal sooner. as soon as we will be able to get it, we'll get it.

so we're really looking forward to kind ofjust being able to do what we want to and travel a bit more. in england, nhs leaders say the decision to extend the roll—out to over 25s comes six months to the day after margaret keenan was the first person to receive a covid vaccine outside clinical trials. there's still a way to go, and that's why this latest opening up is so important. so for our younger adults, when you get that text message, when you get that invitation, it is really crucial that you take that offer up, book yourjab, come and get it. even with the vaccine roll—out, the government says extra vigilance is still needed. it's thought the india — or delta — variant of the virus, can spread at least 40% more quickly than the older kent — or alpha — strain. of the 126 people admitted

to hospital after catching it, only three had received two doses of a covid vaccine. so the message from scientists is to turn up to that second appointment if and when you're offered it. jim reed, bbc news. the former bosnian serb military leader, ratko mladic, will hear the outcome of an appeal against his genocide conviction for the 1995 srebrenica massacre later. mladic was sentenced to life imprisonment by a un war crimes tribunal in 2017. prosecutors said he personally oversaw the massacre at what was supposed to be a un—protected enclave. our correspondent in the hague anna holligan ratko mladic was the face of an audacious military campaign, the hands—on enforcer of a political plot engineered at the top to make sections of bosnia's muslim population disappear. i sections of bosnia's muslim population disappear. i would say that is probably _ population disappear. i would say that is probably one _ population disappear. i would say that is probably one of— population disappear. i would say that is probably one of the - population disappear. i would say that is probably one of the most i that is probably one of the most important individuals in determining

important contribution to justice. every single one of the 161 people indicted by the yugoslav tribunal have been accounted for. some have died, many served their time. this quarter than enviable record in terms of internationaljustice, but what of its legacy? have these legal battles in the hague had any impact on reconciliation in the region? accountability itself, prosecutions or convictions by themselves will not bring reconciliation, it has to come from within society. where it looked impossible in the 90s to have these individuals arrested, it happened, justice delayed is not necessarily mean justice denied. every year the families gather in srebrenica to mourn their loss. they are hoping that this year will be some form ofjustice. anna holligan, bbc news, the hague.

was important to not have the problem of racism in english cricket be attached to one or two players having done problematic tweets along time ago, we wanted to shed light on the wider issue rather than have these couple of players tied, if that makes sense. i these couple of players tied, if that makes sense.— these couple of players tied, if that makes sense. i wonder if you think it is only _ that makes sense. i wonder if you think it is only a _ that makes sense. i wonder if you think it is only a matter _ that makes sense. i wonder if you think it is only a matter of - that makes sense. i wonder if you think it is only a matter of time i think it is only a matter of time before his name gets into the public domain? , , , , ~ domain? possibly, but i think the wa we domain? possibly, but i think the way we have _ domain? possibly, but i think the way we have chosen _ domain? possibly, but i think the way we have chosen to _ domain? possibly, but i think the way we have chosen to cover - domain? possibly, but i think the way we have chosen to cover it i domain? possibly, but i think the. way we have chosen to cover it will be the only way that would not have happened, because it will only be a matter of time if we had not covered. matter of time if we had not covered-— matter of time if we had not covered. , , ., ., covered. somebody else would have done? yes. — covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and _ covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and we _ covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and we think— covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and we think in - covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and we think in a - covered. somebody else would have done? yes, and we think in a less i done? yes, and we think in a less careful way. _ done? yes, and we think in a less careful way, they _ done? yes, and we think in a less careful way, they might _ done? yes, and we think in a less careful way, they might have - careful way, they might have screenshot it and circulated it. do ou screenshot it and circulated it. do you think the player concerned should step forward, tell us who he is, how old he was, what he said and maybe what the context in his life

and her seven—year—old son to live. with me is nicole walters, who lives in the property with her son. also i'm joined by kelechi okafor, nicole's sister—in—law who has been offering her a lot of support. she posted that footage on twitter too. welcome, both. nicole, what happened? good morning, everybody. it has been such a traumatic few years, to be honest, i have been battling with a council for years on this issue and i think it is disgusting it has taken... has to be taken to social media to get a response. ifeel like i could have lost my life in this property on several times, lost my life in this property on severaltimes, i lost my life in this property on several times, i have complained several times, i have complained several times, i have complained several times since 2017 about this issue. the first time the ceiling paint and gradually was in 2017, the second type in 2018! was sleeping

and it came collapsing done —— the first time the ceiling came down gradually. i was never compensated for those two times, and on the previous sunday parties when you saw that footage and i believe the reason i was able to get that is i have experienced so many leaks previously i believe i was able to get that footage. i was explaining on the phone to the council at the time of it falling, it will fall, can i had some urgent help? nobody was able to help me immediately, which i find disgusting. the adviser on the phone on the sunday morning, i called at six o'clock when i returned home in the morning, the advisers stated to me if i feel it is falling i should step outside into the passageway. obviously that is something i am going to do because i do not want to be harmed, but it is actively falling now, what are you doing? i think it was after

her, but he hasn't yet been asked to plead guilty or not guilty to that because they are awaiting medical reports, but it's clear today from his guilty pleas that he does admit kidnapping and raping her, and he admits responsibility for her killing, that will have to come back to court at a later date where he is formally asked to say whether he is guilty or not guilty of murdering. if you remember, sarah everard disappeared in march, it was a case that really the entire country, tributes and flowers left in clapham where she was walking home that night, it really galvanised people and obviously a terrible tragedy for her family that made the whole country think the way that women are treated. wayne couzens, serving metropolitan police officer, the same force that investigated the murder, and this case will now return to court injuly when we expect to get more information about whether he will plead guilty or not

we believe the victims were targeted because of their islamic faith. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau tweeted to say he was horrified by the news. he went on to say, "to the loved ones of those who were terrorised by yesterday's act of hatred, we are here for you." the attack is the worst against canadian muslims since six people were killed in quebec city mosque in 2017. it's been incredibly terrifying for our community. and, i mean, these things just keep happening, both internationally and nationally. the mayor of london has described the incident as mass murder, adding that such hatred has made the city question who it is. courtney bembridge, bbc news. the us vice president, kamala harris, has urged would—be migrants from guatamala not to come to the united states. she said the trip north was extremely dangerous — and they would be turned back. the biden administration has pledged

because developing countries don't have the resources to distribute and administer massive stock—piles all at once. nhs and care staff in england are so burnt out that it has become an "emergency" and risks the future of the health service, mps have warned. a highly critical report from the health and social care committee calls for immediate action to support exhausted staff who have worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic. the department of health and social care said it was doing everything to support the wellbeing of staff. earlier i spoke to nhs nurse, lineremiah, who described the impact of the pandemic on herself and colleagues. we are absolutely shattered at the moment. for many of us, you know, we've come through the pandemic and life is beginning to return to normal for the vast majority of people, but for us to work is far from over. a huge backlog to deal with, operations that were cancelled during the pandemic. we had to accommodate critically ill patients. we have a rocky road ahead of us.

there are less of us. we went into the pandemic 50,000 short. we've been warning the government about cracks in the system long before this came along and they have failed to address that, unfortunately. this re ort to address that, unfortunately. this report today — to address that, unfortunately. this report today suggests you need more support, some of the vacancies need to be filled. it takes seven years to be filled. it takes seven years to train a doctor, for example. what you need right now?_ you need right now? well, i think we've had over _ you need right now? well, i think we've had over a _ you need right now? well, i think we've had over a decade - you need right now? well, i think we've had over a decade of - we've had over a decade of successive below inflation pay rises, that's a loose term, really. we've seen borisjohnson clapping on the steps of number ten and publicly lauding the nurses he remembered when he was a patient. but to turn around and suggest an offer of 1% is

quite frankly insulting. we have nurses going to food banks, nurses struggling to pay their bills and mortgages and have a roof over their heads. you know, the removal of the bursary means so new nurses are leaving university with tens of thousands of pounds of debt, a great big burden to have hanging over your head. we are asked to do more with less. in some departments, we increase capacity by 300% during the pandemic, but we didn't have 300% of the nurses. and whilst we had tremendous support from our colleagues, theatres, practitioners and things, they were magnificent and things, they were magnificent and stepped the fore, but many of them are terrified as well because this is way out of their comfort zone. and it's notjust nurses, its other allied health professionals who have stepped up to the plate. and they are now struggling, and sitting home. we keep pulling people

out of the water when they are drowning in stormy seas, we need to look at why they are falling into the water in the first place. i5 look at why they are falling into the water in the first place. is it ri . ht the water in the first place. is it right there _ the water in the first place. is it right there you _ the water in the first place. is it right there you have _ the water in the first place. is it right there you have had counselling because of feeling burned out at work? ~ , ,., , because of feeling burned out at work? ~ , , ., because of feeling burned out at work? ~ , ., �* ., work? absolutely, and i'm not ashamed to — work? absolutely, and i'm not ashamed to say _ work? absolutely, and i'm not ashamed to say so _ work? absolutely, and i'm not ashamed to say so because i work? absolutely, and i'm not| ashamed to say so because we work? absolutely, and i'm not i ashamed to say so because we say, it's ok to not be ok, but it's not really ok. we shouldn't be in that situation in the first place. i fell apart during the first pandemic. i had certified time off work and counselling. i have managed for the last year, but at what cost? many of us feel like we're driving around second gear all the time. we will reach our destination, but at what cost? you get your destination and realise your engine is blown. that's how a lot of people are feeling. how

much more have we got to do? with the delta variant, there's an awful lot of feeling of not again, please, not again... there's only so much, we are decent hard—working people, but there's only so much we can take, really. and being valued and respected and seeing a government that will turn around and say, do you know what, you will get a decent pay rise because it's no less than is deserved, frankly. when the former us president bill clinton wrote a novel with the authorjames patterson three years ago, it became an instant best—seller. now the pair have teamed up again, to write "the president's daughter" — a thriller about a former president who embarks on a dramatic mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter. so how much of their fiction is based on fact? they've given their only uk interview to our arts correspondent rebecca jones. she wanted to laugh and joke at the thought of being kidnapped,

but the hard look in that secret service agent's eyes, so much like dad's, kept her mouth shut. so, how did the writing process work? master patterson here would give me a list of assignments, which were basically, tell us how we're going to say this without screwing it up. he was so shocked that somebody would actually give him some things to do, some tasks. i loved it. i'm well aware that most people in the end found politics boring, if it takes you more than 15 seconds to say what you're doing. if a lot of people read this book, and like the thriller, they'll pick up some things about the presidency. the authenticity is the key thing for us. how much of the plotline is inspired by real events? were there ever specific threats made against your daughter chelsea? well, if there were, i still wouldn't talk about them. my daughter, like other adult children of presidents, loses secret service protection

when you leave the white house. and normally, that's fine, because there is no real danger. but when i left, 9/11 hadn't happened yet. bin laden still had me under a fatwa because i had tried so hard to kill him, or at least capture him. and so i was worried about anybody in my family being collateral damage. you look at things like the storming of the capitol, and you go, oh, my god, how can we write fiction that could compete with what's going on in the world? it was horrible, but if you want to live in a country where everything is about politics, everything is polarised, you're 100% right, and if you're not, you're100% wrong, this is where we are going. and you might as well get used to it. in terms of advising joe biden, he's about to come to the uk for g7 summit. should he be pushing for those g7 countries to fund a global vaccination programme?

i don't want to put it like that. he's got to take his own advice. i think the g7 has a big obligation to get this vaccine out as quickly as possible to poorer countries. look at all these variants that keep coming up. all this is going to come back to the uk and united states. your wife hillary is also writing a thriller. so how is that working? we're going to kick her butt! we are scared to death. this is highly competitive, and it's a good book. yeah, he's read it. he says it's terrific. i've read it, it's really good. but these two have set the bar high. their first book sold more than three million copies. rebecca jones, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... former police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. a massive crackdown on global crime, after the fbi created

a secure—messaging app and got criminals around the world to use it, revealing their hidden activities, leading to hundreds of arrests, the seizure of tonnes of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. uk holiday—makers scramble home as portugaljoins the amber list from today. with the new academic yearjust months away, universities are sifting through applications to offer places. last year, the us recorded a drop in student visa applications — and this year the number has fallen even further. as sarah toms reports, the pandemic is partly to blame but many students are also worry about rising violence against people of asian descent. this singapore student has always dreamt of studying in the usa. he worked hard and got a coveted place at yale university to take computer science and economics. but the 19—year—old has

had second thoughts. for a lot of people, especially asians like myself and my friends, we've seen the recent news of, like, anti—asian racism and attacks, especially in the us and other countries to be quite a deterrent to our dreams to pursue an international education. and it might be because of the pandemic, but beyond that i think there was some sort of racism that was already ingrained in a lot of people's minds. foreign student enrolment at us universities has dropped 16% between the autumn of 2019 and 2020. the stats on new international students look even grimmer, with a 43% drop. health concerns are a major reason, as the us has been hit hard by covid, but racism and violence against ethnic asians are also causing many applicants to pause.

some people directly blamed the anti—china rhetoric of former us president donald trump. kung—flu, yeah. attacks against asians in the us, including the murders of six women in atlanta, have sent shock waves through asia. so many asian students are still very willing to study abroad, and despite this racism, so what they do is they tend to segregate and they tend to segregate in their ethnic communities, so this will, to some extent, intensify the racism. for universities, foreign students like these ones here in singapore bring in plenty of money by paying higher tuition fees. beyond money, they also bring diversity, fresh ideas and connections for the future. many experts believe western countries risk losing their competitive edge if foreign students feel unwelcome.

missing out on all that will have repercussions for not only universities but entire economies. as for the student, he is willing to take the risk to pursue his dream. sarah toms, bbc news, singapore. when world leaders arrive in cornwall this week, they'll be pressured to do more to address climate change and the environment. but could the g7 economies learn from cornwall�*s own green example? towering cliffs, crashing waves, cornwall is full of british gems, and borisjohnson wants to show them off to g7 leaders. take the seaside pool in penzance. most swimmers don't like the cold. so there's a new warm pool on offer, heated not by gas, but with clean energy from hot rocks underground. it's nice that you can harness

something like that and use it for something like a pool of relaxing touristy feature. yeah. it's good for the environment as well, i think. you've got to use it. and here's a gull�*s eye view of other changes. cars will no longer dominate the penzance promenade, thanks to work over the past year. priorities have been given to visitors on foot or on bikes, in a move supported by the government. the green revolution has seen strict traffic restrictions on the high street. some love it. i think it's a step at a time, all in the right direction. bring it on. others think road closures haven't been thought through. we have so much traffic, we're gridlocked. to do what they've done now in the summertime, is ten times worse. but the green trend is growing. cornwall�*s first smart wind turbine will vary energy production to meet changes in demand for power. at the g7 meeting, the uk will urge other nations to invest more in renewables.

for the world's leaders who come| here, they will be able to see that cornwall is notjust talking shop. we have started our actions. we've committed to working hard with our community, i because it does need to be a partnership, and we all. need to to do something i to actually make a difference. the farmers and their cattle are doing their bit. cow dung produces a climate heating gas, methane. see the bubbles. the slurry will be collected in these tanks and the methane captured to power vans. g7 leaders take note. you know, making money from muck if you want to use it, you know. council vans will be running on the gas captured from cow pooh. on the gas captured from cow poo. britain's not blameless on the environment, of course. it's cut down almost all its own ancient forests. it has no plan for insulating draughty homes. and what's more, it's spending £27 billion on roads that will actually increase emissions. cornwall has its own

controversy too. trees were felled at the hotel for the g7 leaders. a new report says even in a county with such rich natural assets, wildlife is in decline. for local leaders and g7 leaders, it's a massive challenge. roger harriban, bbc news. some uk schools are enlisting the help of wonderful four—legged friends to provide an extra bit of support and happiness to the day — as children struggle with their mental health. anne—marie tasker has this report. thunder, the four—legged therapist, arriving for work at hornsea primary school in east yorkshire. everybody, thunder's here to help you. i know it has been quite a strenuous year for everybody, hasn't it, with being at school and being off school... the therapy husky usually visits hospitals and care homes. today, he is meeting year five for the first time.

when we came back, i was quite nervous, yes, but with thunder coming in, i guess it is not as scary. it is nice and calming, makes you feel really relaxed. it is like a dream come true, seeing like, and actual dog in the classroom. it was very weird as well. i think anyone who works in education would knowl that the vast majority of children have been really affected by the _ lockdown, their well—being has been i affected, and it was just so lovely i to see the children- cuddle him and feed him treats and things, and you could see the joy on their faces. _ it was fabulous. in many schools, some of the children have returned after lockdown with anxiety or worse mental health, and research shows that bringing animals like thunder into the classroom can really help. and it is notjust there dogs are offering therapy. in lincolnshire, evie has been working at the richmond school in skegness

for almost six months, and walked to school with children who were reluctant to return to the classroom. she's worked with children with anxiety, and she often spends time with children who just need a little bit of time to talk through their feelings and emotions, and they do that with evie present 110w. she has heard children read, so some of our reluctant readers, she'll sit and hear them read. evie spends two hours a day with the children, who the teachers say are more relaxed in her company. now, you can play with evie. she's even encouraged jacob, who is nonverbal, to say his very first word at school. all of a sudden, he just started talking. he goes, "d—o—g, dog." he was repeating it and it was like, wow. do you want to see him again? children: yes! yes? back in east yorkshire, thunder will become a regular visitor, eventually working one to one with the children whose mental health has been most affected by the pandemic. anne—marie tasker,

bbc news, hornsea. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. as we go through the next few days, the weather is not only getting warmer — you'll find it's also going to turn much more humid, notjust actually by day but also by night. and we still hang onto some patchy rain in the north and also the west of the country. that's what's happening today. we have a weather front in the north and the west, bringing in more cloud and patchy rain, and as you can see from the isobars it's also pretty breezy as well. through the afternoon you will see more of that cloud getting through cumbria, parts of north—west england, and into north—west wales, thick enough for some drizzle. for the rest of england and wales, they will be some sunshine, albeit hazy, with highs up to 25, and they will equally be some brighter skies in northern ireland and around the moray firth

where it's going to be about 22 in aberdeen. tonight, under clear skies, we will see some patchy mist and fog reform. we still have a lot of cloud out towards the west and some heavier rain coming in from the west by the end of the night. we could also see some drizzle in parts of wales, devon and cornwall. these are our overnight lows so it's going to be another warm night, and for some a humid one. as we head through tomorrow, more isobars on the chart so it will be more breezy across the board and we are dragging in this humid air from the south—west, right the way across the uk. we have a weather front, though, coming in from the west, which means we are looking at a lot of cloud and also some of this rain as well. the cloud moving steadily southwards and eastwards so the sunshine turning that bit hazier. and it will be breezy

across the far north of scotland and into northern ireland where we have highs in stornoway at 15, but the top temperature likely to be in london at 26. for thursday, a weather front is trying to coming across north—west scotland and eventually into northern ireland as well. ahead of it, a lot of cloud around, and also that cloud thick enough for some market conditions. also a little bit of drizzle here and there. these white circles represent average wind speeds so the strongest, gustiest winds will be in the north, but it will be breezier than it has been in the south. the temperature range by then, 23 in the north to about 25 in the south. the exception being lerwick where we are looking at temperatures that little bit lower. then over the ensuing few days a lot of dry weather, turning fresher in the north but still very warm in the south.

that he has admitted responsibility for killing her, but he hasn't yet been asked to plead guilty or not guilty to that because they are awaiting medical reports, but it is clear today from his guilty pleas that he does admit kidnapping and raping herand he admits responsibility for her killing, but that will have to be come back to court at a later date where he is formally asked to say whether he is guilty or not guilty of murdering. if you remember, sarah everard disappeared in march, it was a case that really, really touched the entire country. tributes and flowers were left in clapham where she was walking home that night. it really galvanised people and obviously a terrible tragedy for her family, but it made the whole country think about the way women are treated.

wayne couzens, a serving metropolitan police officer, the same force that investigated the murder, and this case will now return to court injuly when we expect to get more information about whether he will plead guilty or not guilty to that murder charge. hundreds of people have been arrested across the world as part of an international operation against organised crime, described as one of the largest of its kind. it centred on an encrypted messaging app, run by the fbi, which was used to trap the criminals. europol worked with the fbi and other law enforcement agencies on the operation, which led to the arrest of more than 800 people. police in 16 countries were able to monitor encrypted communications, after the criminals were duped into using the messaging app which had been secretly developed by the fbi. more than 700 locations were searched and more than £800 million worth of cocaine was seized. the fbi told a news conference in the hague that the success of operation trojan shield was due to unprecedented international collaboration. criminals and criminal organisations often use encrypted platforms

to shield their illicit activity from law enforcement. these platforms help criminals facilitate and coordinate drug—trafficking, violent assaults, murders, public corruption, money—laundering, and many other crimes that are committed all around the world. through operation trojan shield, the fbi and our international law enforcement partners from across the globe were able to turn the tables on criminal organisations and gain access to their communications in order to disrupt their criminal activity. over the last 18 months, the fbi provided criminal organisations over 300, as mentioned by my colleague, in over 100 countries encrypted devices that allowed us to monitor their communications.

and there are a number of things that resulted from this. not only have we heard about the number of arrests and the number of seizures, but there were over 100 threats to life that were mitigated. and give you an idea of the magnitude of our penetration, we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tonnes of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruit. we were able to see hundreds of kilos of cocaine that were concealed in canned goods. the success of operation trojan shield is a result of tremendous innovation, dedication, and unprecedented international collaboration. and the results are staggering. police have explained how the operation began. the fbi decided to target encrypted messaging services used by organised crime. it first dismantled two existing services — and then began operating its own encrypted device

company called anom. devices with the chat app were distributed in the criminal underworld. australian police said the devices were initially used by alleged senior crime figures, giving other criminals the confidence to use the platform. police said fugitive australian drug trafficker hakan ayik was key to the sting, having unwittingly recommended the app to criminal associates after being given a handset by undercover officers. officers were able to read millions of messages in "real time" describing murder plots, mass drug import plans and other schemes. more than 4,000 members of the australian police and other security organsations have been carrying out arrests in the last two days. since 2019, 224 suspects have been arrested in australia, with more than three and a half tonnes of drugs recovered, more than 100 weapons seized, and nearly 30 million us dollars�* worth of cash confiscated. the australian prime minister scott morrison said the arrests would have global implications. today the australian government — as part of a global operation —

has struck a heavy blow against organised crime, notjust in this country, but one that will echo around organised crime around the world. we'rejoined byjake moore, a cyber security specialist at eset and a former police officer. it's extraordinary to think it was possible to dupe people into believing that an app like this was secure, because presumably criminals using apps of this kind take a lot of precautions before they interest open conversation to the app? absolutely. but the law enforcement around the world are changing the tactics about how they are trying to capture all these criminals. and criminals are usually more cautious

than others on these new tactics and platforms that are out there. but they are able to manipulate them in ways that they manipulate us, such as social engineering, so these tactics being used by the fbi are very clever at making those people fall into those traps, completely unaware of what is happening. but it does cost a lot of money and a lot of resources to capture them, but it doesn't always work, so what we are seeing here is a very rare outcome but a very positive one at that. brute but a very positive one at that. we drink about the timing of the announcement, we are told arrests began in 2019, is the implication that at some point somebody has realised this app is no longer safe to use if you are a criminal, and because it ceased to be effective they can now afford to go public with arrests achievements they've made over a couple of years? aha, made over a couple of years? mixture of intercepting messages and undercover work will no doubt leave

a little trace behind them, and as soon as those criminals start to smell a rat, they might start to think, we maybe should be using something else as well, and it's always good to use multiple platforms, and as soon as there is a hunch that something might be up with it then they are likely to jump to the next platform to see if that one might work better for them. to the next platform to see if that one might work betterfor them. in one might work better for them. in terms of the field you work in, cybersecurity, this is a constantly developing field, isn't it? where are we going in terms of capacity, because there are clearly legitimate concerns about implanting the ability to read, there are lots of people who like their messages to stay private, it is partly why they use these apps, and yet at the same time they are a golden opportunity to catch people notjust in the act but planning the act.— but planning the act. privacy is absolutely _ but planning the act. privacy is absolutely vital _ but planning the act. privacy is absolutely vital for _ but planning the act. privacy is absolutely vital for everyone. i but planning the act. privacy is i absolutely vital for everyone. and we should not be creating back doors into breaking down the encryption that keeps these messages protected and private for our benefit. but

what it does highlight is that cybercrime does not always pay. what we are seeing is the attackers may like to think they are remaining anonymous, but the fbi and police working with multi—agencies are able to use different tactics and fight back with their own disruption. we might not necessarily see the cyber criminals go all the way and do prison time, for example, but what it does show is that cat and mouse race we are seeing which is used to have a huge gap, it is now shrinking, if we can disrupt them in any way possible then we are onto a good thing. any way possible then we are onto a aood thin. . ., any way possible then we are onto a aood thin. ., ,, i. �* any way possible then we are onto a aood thin. . ~' ,, �* , good thing. thank you. i'm sure we will be talking _ good thing. thank you. i'm sure we will be talking more _ good thing. thank you. i'm sure we will be talking more about - good thing. thank you. i'm sure we will be talking more about it - good thing. thank you. i'm sure we will be talking more about it later i will be talking more about it later on bbc news. i want to bring you some breaking news. we understand the health secretary matt hancock is expected to announce bolton style extra help for the nine other councils that make up the greater manchester area when he speaks in

the house of commons later. we are expecting a statement in the commons, possibly before lunchtime. the government will offer nine areas extra testing and vaccination with the help of the military in other words search testing. we've seen it in other areas, obviously in bolton, with had concern about what is known as the indian variant in the past. known councils have seen covid rates rapidly rising. it hasn't translated into hospitalisation, but it is testing rates. this is greater manchester and east lancashire, and they will also be issuing special guidelines for schools in terms of wearing masks and discouraging nonessentialjourneys in and out of

the areas with the highest weekly rates of infection. let me also bring you some breaking news. this is an unrelated story. multiple websites operated by news outlets including the financial times, new york times and bloomberg are down across the globe, separately amazon.com's retail website seems to be facing an outage. amazon was not available to comment. we're not sure what is causing it but there is disruption happening to a number of media sites in this country, the guardian site which also operates the observer is observe it where it is disrupted as is the sydney morning herald in australia. so, several media outlets affected by some kind of outage. amazon.com also having problems with its retail website. when we know what may be causing it, or can give you an indication of what are the

options that may be causing it, do stay with us. new quarantine restrictions have come into force for passengers returning to england from portugal. the country has been moved from green to the amber list of destinations, meaning travellers must take two lab—approved covid tests while they self—isolate at home for 10 days. thousands of british tourists were caught up in a scramble to get home before the deadline passed. richard galpin reports. just last month, portugal was put on the green list of countries by the uk government, british holidaymakers not needing to self—isolate on their return home. bookings surged. but last thursday, the government announced a series of changes for many countries, including portugal, which was put on the amber list. from this morning, holidaymakers will be required to pay for at least two covid tests, while quarantining on their return home. as a result, people have been scrambling to get back to the uk before the deadline, with holidaymakers queuing to book flights.

kirsty, who lives in london, says it's expensive. it's a massive inconvenience and obviously costs everyone a lot of money to have to come home and cut their holidays short. and with such short notice, i think, as well, is the main thing. in a way it's good that they're being cautious. but i think that people should have been given a little bit more notice than just three or four days to get back, because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. the cunningham family in hampshire is also dismayed. absolute joke. the social distance is brilliant. everything's under control. everyone's wearing masks everywhere, even on the beaches. you have to wear it outside and everyone abides by the laws. it's an amazing country and they're abiding by the rules much better than the english people are, and i'm english and i'm embarrassed. so you think the british government have got it all wrong then? absolutely. i don't think they've got it all wrong. i think that was a very bad decision to change it to amber. we've just met some people who've

had their flight cancelled and they've got to pay an extra £800. they've got children. it'sjust wrong. the government says it's acted because there's been a near doubling of positive covid cases in the last few weeks, and because of concerns of a mutation of the delta coronavirus variant. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent sanchia berg is at gatwick airport this morning. what have you been hearing from returning passengers? i’ge what have you been hearing from returning passengers?— returning passengers? i've been s-ueakin returning passengers? i've been speaking to _ returning passengers? i've been speaking to people _ returning passengers? i've been speaking to people who - returning passengers? i've been speaking to people who have i returning passengers? i've been i speaking to people who have flown in this morning from portugal. they've missed the deadline, they have to go home and quarantine for ten days or five days if they get a test to release, extra test, and they proved negative. so they were very happy about it because it upsets people's lives, is an extra cost, one man said he had missed his flight yesterday because there was a

problem with his paperwork and it was outrageous now he had no plans, no shopping in the house, didn't quite know what he was going to do. we spoke to a larger family group as well of people who had come out for a week. they said they understood why the government was changing the rules, they were concerned about covid, but they thought they should have been a grace period for people in their position who were already on holiday in portugal. iloathed in their position who were already on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure _ on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure on _ on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure on the _ on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure on the airlines - on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure on the airlines to i on holiday in portugal. what about the pressure on the airlines to put| the pressure on the airlines to put on additionalflights in the pressure on the airlines to put on additional flights in the airports to facilitate those? iloathed airports to facilitate those? what we sin this _ airports to facilitate those? what we sin this morning _ airports to facilitate those? what we sin this morning as _ airports to facilitate those? what we sin this morning as the i airports to facilitate those? twat we sin this morning as the flight that came in at 10am was not full at all, people on it said there were maybe a0 or 50 people. it was the flights coming in to beat the deadline that were really packed. and things will obviously quieten down no considerably, i think simon was saying earlier that flights that were nearly £a00 last night and i £9. the impact on the tourism trade

of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. nhs and care staff in england are so burnt out that it has become an "emergency" and risks the future of the health service, mps have warned. of the health service, a highly critical report from the health and social care committee calls for immediate action to support exhausted staff who have worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic. the department of health and social care said it was doing everything to support the wellbeing of staff. and we can speak to dr chaand nagpaul, bma council chair, who gave evidence to the committee of mps investigating this issue. good to speak to you again. thank you for being with us. you will be surprised by the findings of this investigation, since you helped to contribute to them, but the serious question is, what can be done in the

short term for a problem that is tied in part to long—term trends, including failure to recruit enough staff over many years?— staff over many years? you're absolutely — staff over many years? you're absolutely right, _ staff over many years? you're absolutely right, we _ staff over many years? you're absolutely right, we need i staff over many years? you're - absolutely right, we need short-term absolutely right, we need short—term action and also longer term planning. as we speak, i want to highlight the scale of the problem. you know that we were about 8500 doctors short when we enter the pandemic, most doctors have experienced the most traumatic year and a bit of their lives as a medical professional, they've seen deaths, they've seen illness at levels they've never been trained to, they had to be holding smartphones at the end of the bed of patients communicating with loved ones because no visitors were allowed in hospital, gps have been vaccinating patients on top of their normal duties, they have actually not had annual leave in the way that others have had because they have had to fulfil their duty of care to the population during a global

crisis, many have not had breaks during their work, many are working on roles they have not previously been trained for because they were helping out in critical care, so it has been a hugely traumatising year. and they are exhausted. when we had a lockdown, doctors did not have the option to stay at home, they have been working harder during the lockdown because that is when the illness was at its highest. so what we really need to do is recognise this reality and invest and support the workforce to have proper rest. that's really interesting. because to have proper rest means you have to have proper rest means you have to fill in behind to create the capacity for that, and that's a problem because lots of health authorities, health trusts, rather, have been trying to reduce their reliance, the government has required it, reduce their reliance on agency staff because of additional costs. at the same time, some people currently in the service might decide after this year they

have had enough. what are the things you can do in those circumstances to try and make people feel valued, that's important, but also give them some kind of risk their web respite that means they will come back and give it another go rather thanjust walking away? or being forced to walking away? or being forced to walk away because their health collapses. walk away because their health colla ses. ., walk away because their health collases. ., , ., , . , walk away because their health collases. ., , ., collapses. our own statistics show about a fifth _ collapses. our own statistics show about a fifth of— collapses. our own statistics show about a fifth of doctors _ collapses. our own statistics show about a fifth of doctors intend i collapses. our own statistics show about a fifth of doctors intend to i about a fifth of doctors intend to walk away once the pandemic eases down. about a third intend to take early retirement, and 50% are going to reduce their hours. if that happens it will be catastrophic for a health service at a time when we are facing the biggest backlog of care we've ever known. so you are right, the most important thing is that doctors like anyone else do need some rest, those that have not taken leave need to recharge their batteries, but because we are going to have a very long future of challenge ahead of us as we try to recover. what we can do, a0% of doctors say they don't even have facilities in the hospitalfor

doctors say they don't even have facilities in the hospital for rest, so we need to create those. we need to make well—being much more integral to the health service so that when managers and the government have initiatives they think first and foremost what is the impact on the well—being of staff, it's better to have doctors who are able, capable, feeling positive, feeling energised, then having an exhausted workforce that does not deliver. i’m exhausted workforce that does not deliver. �* ,., , exhausted workforce that does not deliver. �* , ., , exhausted workforce that does not deliver. , ., , ., deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and very interested — deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and very interested in _ deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and very interested in the _ deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and very interested in the point - deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and very interested in the point you i deliver. i'm sorry to interrupt, and| very interested in the point you are making, because we've talked here in previous weeks about some of the initiatives that have been done in hospitals to create spaces where people can go and almost let out and in a scream and just get the tension out, and it has helped with mental well—being, it's helped them gird their loins and go back in for the next session. so those are things that can be done at a local level and can be made very effective. i'm wondering if we can pull out to the bigger picture of the government, we

heard jeremy hunt saying, i accept my share of responsibility, when i was in charge of the health service, but i did create these new posts, it's just that because of the seven—year delay because you have to train people, none of those people have yet started in the nhs. there is an issue here about the way the nhs plans its workforce, what needs to change? nhs plans its workforce, what needs to chance? , ., , ., to change? first, we need to plan, because we — to change? first, we need to plan, because we have _ to change? first, we need to plan, because we have not _ to change? first, we need to plan, because we have not been - to change? first, we need to plan, i because we have not been planning. in the way which we enter the pandemic highlights that you should not have the health service that has 80,000 vacancies. there has been no explicit plan on what the workforce requirements are for the scale of care that the nhs has to do leather, and this is what the report is asking for, clarity. once you are clear about the workforce requirements you then have to have a clear commitment with plans on how you are going to fill it. what we've seen is we have just stumbled along in the nhs with an inadequate

workforce, with no decisive commitments in workforce planning with numbers, etc, we said we'll have more medical students but that hasn't been in the context of looking at what the service requires an the numbers needed to achieve that. i don't want to lose sight of the immediate danger we have that if we lose a fifth of doctors because they are exhausted, which is what our surveys tell us, and if large numbers their hours, or have taken early retirement, that will be devastating for our service in the next year. so you are right, we need proper planning, the report has called for that, and we need to have the investment in well—being being probably one of the biggest drivers of how we actually staffed our nhs. at the moment we have only thought about having staff to provide a service, what we need to think about is making sure those staff have proper rest, they are valued, respected, given recognition for their efforts, and all of those

factors and working in a safe environment. we know the nhs has for too long relied on unsafe levels of staffing, which is why we are calling for safe staffing levels. once you become explicit about what safe staffing is, about what is needed, there is every chance then of having a plan that will deliver the workforce for the future, so we have to see those bits of explicit commitments.— the england and wales cricket board is investigating reports that a second england player has posted "offensive material" in the past. the circketing reference site, wisden, said it had uncovered a tweet containing a racist term by the un—named player when they were under 16. it comes just days after the ecb suspended bowler ollie robinson while it investigates racist and sexist tweets he posted in 2012 and 2013. here's our sport correspondent, joe wilson in some of the reaction towards

ollie robinson's suspension on the plus side of people saying it's too harsh, and i think this is paraphrasing what the government said, he was a teenager when he did that and that he is now a man and everybody should be allowed to have a process of education and growth and maturity. sure. at 18 you are allowed to vote, you are a man, you have come of age. a different context if you are under the age of 18 and under the age of 16, for sure. on one level i think some people's reaction is this is the last thing the ecb and cricket need as they prepare for a test match in two days' time. i think the ecb are serious about what they are doing, they are trying to represent the diversity of cricket, particularly as a sport within the uk, and if they are on this process they have to follow it through, and this may well not be the last of these instances we come across. ben gardner is managing

editor of wisden — which broke the news of a second player's historical racist tweet. it was a tweet posted under the age of 16 posting derogatory towards asians among other things. this play was under the age of 16 at a time, whether that excuses everything is a difficult one to say, but it does, we felt, office and mitigation. we also felt it was important to not have the problem of racism in english cricket attached to one or two players, having done problematic tweets from long ago, we want to shed light on the wider issue rather than have these couple of players tired, if that makes sense. over the next few days and nights you will notice it turns more humid. at the moment we have a fair bit of

sunshine across most of england and wales, albeit hazy at times, more cloud into cumbria and north—west wales could produce some drizzle. the northern ireland and scotland, a lot more cloud with showery outbreaks in the west but nonetheless they will still be brighter breaks. temperatures up to 2a or 25. this evening and overnight some mist and fog forms where there are clear skies, but heavier rain coming in across the north and west, and by the end of the night we will also have some drizzle across parts of wales, devon and cornwall. for most, we stay in double figures over night. tomorrow, all this rain is coming in from the west. brighter skies across the south and east. breezy, particularly in the north, and the temperature is 20 to about 26. hello this is bbc news with shaun ley.

debut in the first test against new zealand, but his international future is now in doubt. prime minister borisjohnson said he agreed with the culture secretary, oliver dowden, that the ecb went "over the top" in dropping robinson — but former england batsman mark ramparaksh said it was their only option. i think it's a very sensible move by the ecb. to give themselves time to think about, well, first of all, to investigate, and to come up with a balanced and fair, appropriate punishment for ollie robinson. because clearly, this is a tricky situation. ideally, the ecb would have done some due diligence on the players that they want to select and represent, notjust the ecb, but the country, and represent society. all—rounder sophia dunkley has been given her first england women's central contract for this season. she made her international debut at the twenty20 world cup three years ago and she's already scored

a century this season for surrey and south east stars. dunkley is one of 17 players to receive a deal, ahead of a busy summer which begins with their first test against india in more than seven years starting a week tomorrow. wales defender connor roberts says they're convinced they can at least match their performance five years ago in paris at the upcoming european championship. the squad are in baku ahead of three group games in nine days, starting against switzerland on saturday. they also have italy and turkey to come and roberts know this will be a tournament like no other. obviously, a tournament like no other. it is a lot different compared obviously, it is a lot different compared to last time, there were fancier, it was all in one place kind thing so there was only a handful of players in the squad who were there and there are plenty of players, including young ones, you want to make their own memories and the only way we can do that is taking it almost by the scruff of the neck and enjoying it and doing

everything we can to make the tournament a good one. everything we can to make the tournament a good one. england prop kyle sinkcler says his late call—up for this summer's lions tour was a massive shock, after he missed out in the inital selection last month. he'll be heading to south africa in place of the injured andrew porter. sinckler was in the squad for the tour of new zealand and he was devastated to be left out of this year's party. asa as a sportsperson, it is easy to get lost, it is easy to get lost in terms of when i don't get selected, oh my god, you know, what are they doing? this is crazy, you should be there. you can kind of fall become a that without even realising become a victim. now it is not losing yourself in terms of everyone telling you how great you are. it's like, well, i didn't get selected in the first place because obviously i wasn't good enough, so i need to improve.

there's more over on the bbc sport website, including the latest build—up to the euros, and the news that debbie hewett is set to become the first female chair of the football association after being nominated to replace greg clarke. people over the age of 25 in england can now book an appointment for their first coronavirus jab. the head of nhs england, sir simon stevens, said the country is now in the "home straight" our health correspondent jim reed reports. lines snaking around twickenham stadium in west london last month. at a handful of pop—up sites like this, younger age groups have already been offered vaccines. from this morning, though, all those over 25 in england will start to receive a text message asking them to formally book an appointment. the government says the goal of vaccinating all adults with a first dose by the end of next month is now in sight. i'm sure that we've all been cheered

by the images that we've seen of so many eligible young people coming forward and lining up to get the jab, showing that the enthusiasm for the jab is notjust the preserve of older generations. in england, 76.a% of adults have had a first vaccine dose. in scotland it's the same. in northern ireland, where it's just over 75%, all over 18s can already book a jab. that's also the case in wales, where 86.5% have already received that first dose, one of the highest rates in the world. the fact it's opened up to everyone, i think, just means we can get to a state of normality quicker, and it allows bars and clubs, and even libraries and universities, to get back to normal sooner. as soon as we will be able to get it, we'll get it. so we're really looking forward to kind ofjust being able to do what we want to and travel a bit more. in england, nhs leaders say the decision to extend

the roll—out to over 25s, comes six months to the day after margaret keenan was the first person to receive a covid vaccine outside clinical trials. there's still a way to go, and that's why this latest opening up is so important. so for our younger adults, when you get that text message, when you get that invitation, it is really crucial that you take that offer up, book yourjab, come and get it. even with the vaccine roll—out, the government says extra vigilance is still needed. it's thought the india, or delta variant of the virus, can spread at least a0% more quickly than the older kent or alpha strain. of the 126 people admitted to hospital after catching it, only three had received two doses of a covid vaccine. so the message from scientists is to turn up to that second appointment if and when you're offered it. jim reed, bbc news.

the former bosnian serb military leader ratko mladic will hear the outcome of an appeal against his genocide conviction for the 1995 srebrenica massacre later. mladic was sentenced to life imprisonment by a un war crimes tribunal in 2017. prosecutors said he personally oversaw the massacre at what was supposed to be a un—protected enclave. our correspondent in the hague anna holligan sent this report. ratko mladic was the face of an audacious military campaign, the hands—on enforcer of a political plot engineered at the top to make sections of bosnia's muslim population disappear. i would say that's probably one of the most important individuals in determining how the war would play out in bosnia herzegovina. his responsibility and how the prosecution argued the case is that basically he was at the top of a certain pyramid of violence. it began with persecution. propaganda that turned neighbours against one another, and for thousands ended in srebrenica.

families had fled to a united nations base, a designated safe zone, expecting protection. when ratko mladic and his bosnian serb army arrived, he reassured the displaced crowds with chocolates for the children and promises of a safe passage. then separated the women from their sons, husbands and fathers. in the four days that followed, approximately 8,000 bosnian muslim men and boys were executed. we have scientific evidence. we use dna as the first line of identification. the historical evidence is there. they should start teaching this in schools, in the region and beyond the region, because this is an important contribution to justice. every single one of the 161 people indicted by this yugoslav tribunal have been accounted for. some have died, many served their time. this court has an enviable record in terms of internationaljustice, but what of its legacy?

have the legal battles fought here in the hague had any impact on reconciliation in the region? accountability in itself, prosecutions by themselves or convictions will not bring reconciliation. reconciliation has to come from within a society. so, where it looked impossible in the �*90s to have these individuals arrested, well, it happened. justice delayed doesn't mean necessarilyjustice denied. every year, the families gather in srebrenica to mourn their loss. they're hoping this year there will be some form ofjustice. anna holligan, bbc news, in the hague. we have just had a we havejust had a home office statement about the issue of people trying to get into the uk on boots.

they say that 93 migrants managed to reach the uk on boats on monday. those migrants have been detained. the government says that the french have intercepted two crossings preventing 55 people getting in. that was two crossings, two boats, that was on monday, as was the uk acting against three boats including 93 people. the government says it is bringing legislation that will break the business model of those involved in smuggling. it'll be interesting to see how they plan to do that. more details to follow. more now on those new quarantine restrictions have come into force for passengers returning to england from portugal. thousands of british tourists were caught up in a scramble to get home before the deadline passed, others have remained in portugal.

let's speak to matthew stokes, who flew to albufeira on saturday for a week's holiday with two friends. it looks lovely there, but presumably it has been a stressful few days deciding what you are going to do. , . , few days deciding what you are going to do. , ., , ., , few days deciding what you are going todo. , to do. yes, it was. it was bad timin: , to do. yes, it was. it was bad timing. we — to do. yes, it was. it was bad timing, we only— to do. yes, it was. it was bad timing, we only had - to do. yes, it was. it was bad timing, we only had a - to do. yes, it was. it was bad timing, we only had a short i to do. yes, it was. it was bad i timing, we only had a short period of time to decide what options where, whether we would still go, i run my own business so i had to rearrange some clients. my partner works for the nhs, she was able to move her shifts. anotherfriend will have to work from home for a number of days. it was a classic kneejerk reaction, it felt like, and we were at the back out of this. fin reaction, it felt like, and we were at the back out of this. on balance, ou have at the back out of this. on balance, you have decided _ at the back out of this. on balance, you have decided to _ at the back out of this. on balance, you have decided to stay _ at the back out of this. on balance, you have decided to stay put. i at the back out of this. on balance, j you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or — you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or not, _ you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or not, this _ you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or not, this is _ you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or not, this is my - you have decided to stay put. why? believe it or not, this is my 12th i believe it or not, this is my 12th light i had to cancel. we were just

we could have arrived at 1am on saturday and the quarantine doesn't start until the sunday. that took quite a lot of digging around to find that information. anybody that is expecting your granny to really understand what they need to do how to mitigate the dangers, they do make it any easier for us. it has been a challenge, but you do you. mathew stokes, thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: former police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. various websites around the world, including the guardian — the uk government's website and the new york times — have gone down after been affected

by a wider internet outage. according to the guardian it is caused by a cloud system that is used for speeding up access loading times for websites. a massive crackdown on global crime after the fbi created a secure—messaging app and got criminals around the world to use it, revealing their hidden activities — leading to hundreds of arrests, the seizure of tonnes of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. when the former us president bill clinton wrote a novel with the authorjames patterson three years ago, it became an instant best—seller. now the pair have teamed up again, to write "the president's daughter" — a thriller about a former president who embarks on a dramatic mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter. so how much of their fiction is based on fact? they've given their only uk interview to our arts correspondent rebecca jones.

ready? she wanted to laugh and joke at the thought of being kidnapped, but the hard look in that secret service agent's eyes, so much like dad's, kept her mouth shut. so, how did the writing process work? master patterson here would give me a list of assignments, which were basically, tell us how we're going to say this without screwing it up. he was so shocked that somebody would actually give him some things to do, some tasks. i loved it. i'm well aware that most people in the end found politics boring, if it takes you more than 15 seconds to say what you're doing. if a lot of people read this book, and like the thriller, they'll pick up some things about the presidency. the authenticity is the key thing for us. how much of the plotline is inspired by real events?

were there ever specific threats made against your daughter, chelsea? well, if there were, i still wouldn't talk about them. my daughter, like other adult children of presidents, loses secret service protection when you leave the white house. and normally, that's fine, because there is no real danger. but when i left, 9/11 hadn't happened yet. bin laden still had me under a fatwa because i had tried so hard to kill him, or at least capture him. and so i was worried about anybody in my family being collateral damage. you look at things like the storming of the capitol, and you go, oh, my god, how can we write fiction that could compete with what's going on in the world? it was horrible, but if you want to live in a country where everything is about politics, everything is polarised, you're 100% right, and if you're not, you're100% wrong, this is where we are going. and you might as well get used to it.

in terms of advising joe biden, he's about to come to the uk for g7 summit. should he be pushing for those g7 countries to fund a global vaccination programme? i don't want to put it like that. he's got to take his own advice. i think the g7 has a big obligation to get this vaccine out as quickly as possible to poorer countries. look at all these variants that keep coming up. all this is going to come back to the uk and united states. yourwife, hillary, is also writing a thriller. so how is that working? we're going to kick her butt! we are scared to death. this is highly competitive, and it's a good book. yeah, he's read it. he says it's terrific. i've read it, it's really good. but these two have set the bar high. their first book sold more than 3 million copies. rebecca jones, bbc news.

for the people of venice, life is beginning to get back to normal. most covid restrictions have been eased and tourists are returning, but venetians face a dilemma. visitors bring money, but too many of them can also endanger the very fabric of the city. tim allman reports. venice almost seems to defy nature. an ancient city of canals and waterways, its popularity could be its undoing. the sheer number of boats and gondolas can cause erosion. the constant movement of the water damage in the buildings. this may be a possible solution. a swedish—designed electric boat that its creators insist could make all the difference. here in venice you have a huge problem with moto ondosso, wake damage, and with our technology when you fly above the canal level or the water level, you reduce that by 95%.

who and what travels the waterways of this city is a big issue for the people who live here. only a few days ago there were noisy protests as the first cruise ship to disembark since covid restrictions eased set sail. reducing numbers and reducing speed may help but whatever the solution, is a sense that something must be done. this is an ageing city and we all love venice and if we can help to save it we should. tourist numbers are growing once more. the cafes and restaurants are seeing more custom. but if venice is to survive, perhaps not everything should go back to the way it used to be. the uk government's website is failing to load, in what appears to be a problem with many well—known websites globally. amazon, cnn, the guardian and new york times websites are also all affected.

we'rejoined by bryan glick, editor—in—chief of computer weekly. thank you very much for being with us again. this details are sketchy, but it might be something to do with another company that provides services to these companies. {guild services to these companies. could ou rive services to these companies. could you give some _ services to these companies. could you give some context? _ services to these companies. could you give some context? yes, i services to these companies. lec you give some context? yes, what it appears, and everybody is still working out exactly what has happened, but what appears is that the company that provides part of the company that provides part of the internet that most people using the internet that most people using the internet that most people using the internet never see has had a problem. it is a company and what they do is help websites to perform —— improve their performance, make them faster. all those websites effectively go through a service thatis effectively go through a service that is provided by them and it appears this is where the problem

is, so anybody trying to access one of those websites are finding that they can get three. 50 of those websites are finding that they can get three.— of those websites are finding that they can get three. so you 'ust cant load the website i they can get three. so you 'ust cant load the website itself, i they can get three. so you just cant load the website itself, you i they can get three. so you just cant load the website itself, you can i load the website itself, you can physically get it onto your screen to be able to then interact with it? yes, that's right. if i can use an analogue analogy... please do! if you are going to buy and use paper, you are going to buy and use paper, you wouldn't walk all the way to the company that prints the newspaper tobias, you go to a local newsagent to buy the newspaper. in internet terms, what happens is your local newsagents have been shot, so you can get into the new signal about the paper. it is still there being printed at the printers, public as you can get into your newsagent, you can buy your newspaper. it is clearly frustrating _ can buy your newspaper. it is clearly frustrating for i can buy your newspaper. it is clearly frustrating for the companies, but does it have more serious implications? is there money

lost in something like this happens? there may be some money lost, advertising and that sort of thing, and it depends on what technically has caused the problem at this third party company, but the wider issue here is that most websites around the world use services like this. there are only a very small number of companies that provide these services because they provide them on a global basis. it shows that there are certain bottlenecks within there are certain bottlenecks within the internet that we are very reliant on that most people who use the internet aren't aware exist, but when they go down they can have wide reaching implications. there are questions for the whole of the internet industry about the degree to which we rely on our very small number of large organisations to really make the internet work.

basically, this question, the way these different bits of the internet work together, we were to assume that most of them have a fallback, almost like having an emergency generator. do they not? this company that appears — generator. do they not? this company that appears to _ generator. do they not? this company that appears to be _ generator. do they not? this company that appears to be having _ generator. do they not? this company that appears to be having the - that appears to be having the problem and the other ones like it, they will have their own infrastructure, all sorts of fall backs, the internet equivalent of a generator. that is why this sort of thing doesn't happen very often. the questions that people will be asking now is what exactly has happened with this company that is because this outage to be so bad that whatever their back—up systems where one is enough to be able to keep the

service going. red one is enough to be able to keep the service going-— service going. red faces all around, i imauine. service going. red faces all around, i imagine. brian, _ service going. red faces all around, i imagine. brian, thank— service going. red faces all around, i imagine. brian, thank you - service going. red faces all around, i imagine. brian, thank you so i service going. red faces all around, | i imagine. brian, thank you so much for explaining that in english for us. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello, again. as we go through the next few days, the weather is not only getting warmer — you'll find it's also going to turn much more humid, notjust actually by day but also by night. and we still hang onto some patchy rain in the north and also the west of the country. that's what's happening today. we have a weather front in the north and the west, bringing in more cloud and patchy rain, and as you can see from the isobars it's also pretty breezy as well. through the afternoon you will see more of that cloud getting through cumbria, parts of north—west england, and into north—west wales, thick enough for some drizzle. for the rest of england and wales, they will be some sunshine, albeit hazy, with highs up to 25, and they will equally be some brighter skies in northern ireland and around the moray firth where it's going to be about 22 in aberdeen.

tonight, under clear skies, we will see some patchy mist and fog reform. we still have a lot of cloud out towards the west and some heavier rain coming in from the west by the end of the night. we could also see some drizzle in parts of wales, devon and cornwall. these are our overnight lows so it's going to be another warm night, and for some a humid one. as we head through tomorrow, more isobars on the chart so it will be more breezy across the board and we are dragging in this humid air from the south—west, right the way across the uk. we have a weather front, though, coming in from the west, which means we are looking at a lot of cloud and also some of this rain as well. the cloud moving steadily southwards and eastwards so the sunshine turning that bit hazier. and it will be breezy across the far north of scotland and into northern ireland where we have highs in stornoway at 15, but the top temperature likely to be in london at 26. for thursday, a weather front is trying to coming across north—west scotland and eventually into northern ireland as well.

ahead of it, a lot of cloud around, and also that cloud thick enough for some market conditions. for some murky conditions. also a little bit of drizzle here and there. these white circles represent average wind speeds so the strongest, gustiest winds will be in the north, but it will be breezier than it has been in the south. the temperature range by then, 23 in the north to about 25 in the south. the exception being lerwick where we are looking at temperatures that little bit lower. then over the ensuing few days a lot of dry weather, turning fresher in the north but still very warm in the south.

this is bbc news — the headlines: former police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. various websites around the world — including the guardian, the uk government's website and the new york times — are starting to come back online, after going down in the last hour due to a wider internet outage. a massive crackdown on global crime — after the fbi created a secure—messaging app and got criminals around the world to use it, revealing their hidden activities — leading to hundreds of arrests, the seizure of tonnes of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tonnes of cocaine that were concealed

in shipments of fruit. we were able to see hundreds of kilos of cocaine that were concealed in canned goods. the health secretary is expected to announce extra help for nine areas in greater manchester today — where covid rates have been rising rapidly. uk holidaymakers scramble home as portugaljoins the amber list from today. it's good that they are being cautious, but i think people should have been given a bit more notice than just three or four days to get back because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. if you are aged 25 to 29 in england you're being told you can now book your first covid vaccine — nhs england says we're �*on the home straight�*.

good afternoon. welcome to bbc news. a former metropolitan police officer has pleaded guilty to the kidnap and rape of the marketing executive, sarah everard. wayne couzens is also charged sarah everard vanished in march as she walked home in south london. her body was found in woodland in kent a week later. our special correspondent lucy manning is following the case. well, wayne couzens appeared by video link from belmarsh prison. he was hunched over, he had his head down and he was asked about two counts, a count of kidnapping sarah everard. and the count of raping sarah everard. he was asked about kidnapping her on the 3rd of march, and raping her between the 2nd and 10th of march.

to both of those charges, he said "guilty, sir". the court also heard that he has admitted responsibility for killing her, but he hasn�*t yet been asked to plead guilty or not guilty to that because they are awaiting medical reports, but it is clear today from his guilty pleas that he does admit kidnapping and raping herand he admits responsibility for her killing, but that will have to be come back to court at a later date where he is formally asked to say whether he is guilty or not guilty of murdering. if you remember, sarah everard disappeared in march, it was a case that really, really touched the entire country. tributes and flowers were left in clapham where she was walking home that night. it really galvanised people and obviously a terrible tragedy for her family, but it made the whole country think about the way women are treated. wayne couzens, a serving metropolitan police officer, the same force that investigated the murder, and this case will now

return to court injuly when we expect to get more information about whether he will plead guilty or not guilty to that murder charge. a leading internet delivery service is investigating an outage on its platform which may have caused a worldwide internet problem and taken dozens of major websites offline. sites affected include amazon, cnn, and the financial times. the uk government�*s gov.uk website has also been affected — the government has tweeted saying it�*s investigating as a matter as a matter of urgency. many websites have been displaying lengthy error messages. early reports suggested it could be related to fastly, a cloud computing provider, which underpins a lot of major of major websites. fastly said it was looking into problems with its global content delivery network. within the last half hour, fastly says a fix is being implemented.

our technology reporter zoe kleinman is here. what you think is going on? what i know is going _ what you think is going on? what i know is going on — what you think is going on? what i know is going on as _ what you think is going on? what i know is going on as there - what you think is going on? what i know is going on as there is i what you think is going on? what i know is going on as there is a i what you think is going on? what i know is going on as there is a lot i know is going on as there is a lot of frustration out there. a load of websites went down, it started with uk news outlets like the financial times, the guardian, moved on things like twitter, twitter emerges went down, amazon for some people, read it. it was soon obvious this was a global problem. to explain what we think has happened i will have to give you a crash course in how the internet can work. there are a number of companies called content delivery networks, you probably have never heard of them, but they are huge and they run a global network of servers and they store data on those servers so that when you ping a website saying you want to watch a video it can grab it for you from its server rather than finding out where it is being stored in the world originally, which gives you a faster service. so that is kind of what these companies do and what you

as a company would pay for, to bring your content more quickly to people�*s phones and computers. what seems to have happened here is there has been a globalfailure of seems to have happened here is there has been a global failure of the server network run by the company fastly. they say they�*ve fixed it, it is definitely all coming back into place. it lasted about an hour, which suggests it was not an immediate fix, not a question of something very obvious having gone wrong, we don�*t have any more detail yet about exact what has happened, but the good news is it has taken about bed now and it seems to be filtering stuff back online again. i suppose many of the customers of fastly will be asking, ok, what are you going to do differently as a result? are you going to invest in extra servers, have a faster back—up for this? extra servers, have a faster back—up forthis? because extra servers, have a faster back—up for this? because presumably you can�*t always rely on it, you have to

have back—up. what sort of questions do you think they will be wanting asked, because presumably they pay quite a lot for this service? i think there will have to be an enormous investigation, not only to rule out foul play, we have no idea whether this was anything to do with a cyber attack or not. it prides itself, on its security, and it offers extra security services, so i�*m sure they will be keen to rule out any form of cyber attack. it is a massive company, it�*s been going for ten years, is listed on the new york stock exchange, certainly its investors are going to have questions. i was thinking, can i remember a time when this has happened before, and these outages on this scale are so enormous and so rare that actually they really don�*t happen very often. so i think we are going to have to find out really quite quickly what the source of the problem was and whether it is likely to recur. it�*s obviously caught

fastly, if it�*s taken them an hour to get things back together again, and very quickly a lot of websites, it was not something that could be hidden away. it was not something that could be hidden away-— new quarantine restrictions have come into force for passengers returning to england from portugal. the country has been moved from green to the amber list of destinations, meaning travellers must take two lab—approved covid tests while they self—isolate at home for 10 days. thousands of british tourists were caught up in a scramble to get home before the deadline passed. richard galpin reports. just last month, portugal was put on the green list of countries by the uk government, british holidaymakers not needing to self—isolate on their return home. bookings surged. but last thursday, the government announced a series of changes for many countries, including portugal, which was put on the amber list.

from this morning, holidaymakers will be required to pay for at least two covid tests, while quarantining on their return home. as a result, people have been scrambling to get back to the uk before the deadline, with holidaymakers queuing to book flights. kirsty, who lives in london, says it�*s expensive. it�*s a massive inconvenience and obviously costs everyone a lot of money to have to come home and cut their holidays short. and with such short notice, i think, as well, is the main thing. in a way it�*s good that they�*re being cautious. but i think that people should have been given a little bit more notice than just three or four days to get back, because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. the cunningham family in hampshire is also dismayed. absolute joke. the social distancing is brilliant. everything's under control. everyone's wearing masks everywhere, even on the beaches. you have to wear it outside and everyone abides by the laws. it�*s an amazing country and they�*re abiding by the rules much better

than the english people are, and i�*m english and i�*m embarrassed. so you think the british government have got it all wrong then? absolutely. i don't think they've got it all wrong. i think that was a very bad decision to change it to amber. we've just met some people who've had their flight cancelled and they've got to pay an extra £800. they've got children. it'sjust wrong. the government says it�*s acted because there�*s been a near doubling of positive covid cases in the last few weeks, and because of concerns of a mutation of the delta coronavirus variant. richard galpin, bbc news. i�*m joined now byjemma pomeroy, who arrived back from portugal at 9:30 last night. a bit earlier than you planned? yes, we were supposed _ a bit earlier than you planned? yes, we were supposed to _ a bit earlier than you planned? us: we were supposed to fly back today but our flight would not have landed until the afternoon, so we would have hit the quarantine.- until the afternoon, so we would have hit the quarantine. when did ou find have hit the quarantine. when did you find out _ have hit the quarantine. when did you find out that _ have hit the quarantine. when did you find out that things _ have hit the quarantine. when did you find out that things were i you find out that things were

health minister is being delayed until the 1st of september. to viewers on bbc two, thank you for your company throughout the morning. dojoin us again your company throughout the morning. do join us again tomorrow. you are watching bbc news. people over the age of twenty—five in england can now book an appointment for their first coronavirus jab. the head of nhs england, sir simon stevens, said the country is now in the "home straight" of the vaccine roll out. our health correspondent jim reed reports. lines snaking around twickenham stadium in west london last month. at a handful of pop—up sites like this, younger age groups have already been offered vaccines. from this morning, though, all those over 25 in england will start to receive a text message asking them to formally book an appointment. the government says the goal of vaccinating all adults with a first dose by the end of next month is now in sight. i'm sure that we've all been cheered by the images that we've seen of so many eligible young people

coming forward and lining up to get the jab, showing that the enthusiasm for the jab is notjust the preserve of older generations. in england, 76.a% of adults have had a first vaccine dose. in scotland it's the same. in northern ireland, where it's just over 75%, all over 18s can already book a jab. that's also the case in wales, where 86.5% have already received that first dose, one of the highest rates in the world. the fact it's opened up to everyone, i think, just means we can get to a state of normality quicker, and it allows bars and clubs, and even libraries and universities, to get back to normal sooner. as soon as we will be able to get it, we'll get it. so we're really looking forward to kind ofjust being able to do what we want to and travel a bit more. in england, nhs leaders say the decision to extend the roll—out to over 25s, comes six months to the day

after margaret keenan was the first person to receive a covid vaccine outside clinical trials. there's still a way to go, and that's why this latest opening up is so important. so for our younger adults, when you get that text message, when you get that invitation, it is really crucial that you take that offer up, book yourjab, come and get it. even with the vaccine roll—out, the government says extra vigilance is still needed. it's thought the india, or delta variant of the virus, can spread at least 40% more quickly than the older kent or alpha strain. of the 126 people admitted to hospital after catching it, only three had received two doses of a covid vaccine. so the message from scientists is to turn up to that second appointment if and when you're offered it. jim reed, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news:

support has also been incredibly important, learning, for instance, from the support we give to others in public service who go through traumatic episodes. so he's quite right that there is a wide array of things that we need to do to support nhs staff on the front line. to extend the relief of possible car parking — extend the relief of possible car parking charges beyond the pandemic? he knows— parking charges beyond the pandemic? he knows waiting lists are at 5 million. — he knows waiting lists are at 5 million, and at 432,000 awaiting the two months. the priority has to be to bring _ two months. the priority has to be to bring waiting lists down, but he's _ to bring waiting lists down, but he's about to embark on a reorganisation of the nhs with his integrated care legislation, and these _ integrated care legislation, and these local boards permit the private — these local boards permit the private sector to have a seat on then — private sector to have a seat on them. virgin care hasjust been given— them. virgin care hasjust been givena— them. virgin care hasjust been given a seat on the ics in bath and north_ given a seat on the ics in bath and north somerset. he once promised no privatisation _ north somerset. he once promised no privatisation on his watch. so will he instruct — privatisation on his watch. so will he instruct ics to remove version care _ he instruct ics to remove version care from — he instruct ics to remove version care from its board? he�*s he instruct ics to remove version care from its board? he's absently riaht care from its board? he's absently ri . ht that care from its board? he's absently right that integrating _ care from its board? he's absently right that integrating the _ care from its board? he's absently right that integrating the health i

right that integrating the health service and integration between the health service and services provided by local authorities like social care is absolutely critical, and i know he supports those proposals. and of course, the thing about delivering services in the nhs is what matters to patients is that they get high quality services, for instance, to deal with the backlog, and what matters is getting those services as fast as we possibly can. people care much less about who provides the service than they care that the service gets delivered, and that the service gets delivered, and thatis that the service gets delivered, and that is the approach i take as well. matt hancock in the house of commons, answering questions from the shadow health secretary. just to remind you that we have nine local authorities in the greater manchester area that are now to be given extra testing facilities to help them deal with the surge in cases there. the number of infections in those areas has grown.

bolton is already getting help, and its neighbours are to get it as well as other councils around the east lancashire area. hundreds of people have been arrested across the world as part of an international operation against organised crime, described as one of the largest of its kind. it centred on an encrypted messaging app, run by the fbi, which was used to trap the criminals. europol worked with the fbi and other law enforcement agencies on the operation, which led to the arrest of more than 800 people. police in 16 countries were able to monitor encrypted communications, after the criminals were duped into using the messaging app which had been secretly developed by the fbi. more than 700 locations were searched and more than £800 million worth of cocaine was seized. the details were outlined at a news conference in the netherlands, led by europol. here's their spokesman, jean—philippe lecouffe. in our digital world, criminals widely use for illicit purposes all digital tools, especially encryption technology,

to protect their communication from law enforcement surveillance online and off—line. an unprecedented amount of information and messages have been gathered in the three operations, encore chat, sky ecc, and now otf greenlight operation trojan shield, which will give an international law enforcement community exceptional insight into the criminal landscape and will provide spin off investigations. all of these details are coming to light after a series of co—ordinated raids around the world. the first reports came from the pacific — here you can see some of the cash seized by police in new zealand as they made 35 arrests. and the operations in australia involved more than 4,0001aw enforcement officers. with details on that, here's our correspondent in sydney, shaimaa khalil. a major australian police operation with an international reach.

this has been a three—year collaboration between the country's federal police and the fbi in the united states. the scale of what is known as operation ironside has been so massive it involved more than 4000 officers in australia alone. today the australian government, as part of a global operation, has struck a heavy blow against organised crime, notjust in this country, but one that will echo around organised crime around the world. this is a watershed moment in australian law enforcement history. authorities say 21 attempted murders were stopped, as well as a mass shooting in one of australia's suburbs, potentially saving many lives. hundreds of firearms, three tonnes of drugs and $35 million were seized. more than 200 people were arrested. collectively, these alleged offenders are facing jail terms that

could run into hundreds of years, and some of the charges they are facing carry life imprisonment. at the heart of this operation is an encrypted at that key figures in australia's organised crime gangs were tricked into using. a drug trafficker unwittingly distributed the app, known as anom, to many of his associates after he was given a device by undercover agents. officers were then able to read millions of messages in real time — openly discussing murder plots, drug and money—laundering. essentially, we have been in the back pockets of organised crime and operationalised a criminal take—down like we have never seen. the investigation has allegedly exposed criminals linked to south american drug cartels as well as asian, middle eastern and european criminal syndicates. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. our security correspondent gordon corera has more.

it's an extraordinary operation. it is. it started a couple of years ago when the fbi recruited an undercover source within the criminal underworld who was developing a secure encrypted app, and he basically offered it to the fbi and they took it over. what is fascinating is the way it has spread, because it started small with about 50 devices using this application, going to australia. but thenit application, going to australia. but then it spread, is spread through word—of—mouth, and influences within the criminal underworld community who would say to other criminals, he was this amazing app, it does exactly what we need, which is provide secure communications away from the prying ayes of law enforcement. when all along every single message was being read by the fbi, by the australians and others, and it continued to spread around the world until you have around 10,000 devices in 90 countries using it, 20 million messages all with law enforcement. it, 20 million messages all with law enforcement-—

into the underworld, law enforcement would want to keep it running for as long as they can keep and collecting intelligence, keep finding out what is going on, keep stopping things. so the fact that it is over tells it you something. we don't know why, but there were some blog posts a couple of months ago suggesting the 3pp couple of months ago suggesting the app was not as secure as people thought, and it could be that word was getting around that it had been basically rumbled that something was wrong with it. whether they knew it was owned bylaw enforcement or whether they just didn't was owned bylaw enforcement or whether theyjust didn't think it was as secure as they thought, not clear. but that may well be why they finally decided the game was up, we got as much as we can time to go public, and that is what we have seen today. public, and that is what we have seen today-— seen today. even better than a confession. — seen today. even better than a confession, handing _ seen today. even better than a confession, handing them i seen today. even better than a confession, handing them the | confession, handing them the information on a plate! thank you. nhs and care staff in england are so burnt—out that it has become an "emergency" and risks the future of the health service, mps have warned. a highly critical report from the health and social care committee calls for immediate action to support exhausted staff who have worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic. the department of health and social care said it was doing

everything to support the wellbeing of staff. we're joined now by pat cullen, acting general secretary and chief executive of the royal college of nursing. thank you for being with us. i take it you endorse the findings of this report, i suppose the question is what can be done about it? we do endorse the _ what can be done about it? we do endorse the findings _ what can be done about it? we do endorse the findings of _ what can be done about it? we do endorse the findings of the i what can be done about it? we do endorse the findings of the report| endorse the findings of the report and we welcome the committee for having completed it. unfortunately there is nothing new coming through in the report. we've been saying the same things for years. the exhaustion our noses are facing isn'tjust exhaustion our noses are facing isn't just as a exhaustion our noses are facing isn'tjust as a result of the pandemic, but the fact that they went into this pandemic with a depleted workforce, 50,000 vacancies across the country is. you can't keep asking nurses to keep on giving like this, and then they went in and worked excessive hours during the pandemic. that is what they always do for their patients. and they're coming out of it now with sheer exhaustion. but also facing the fact that nothing has changed for them. they are going back in now to health

service that remains depleted, that we would say is clearly in crisis, that we've just heard about the excessive waiting lists and we are expecting those nurses to basically dust themselves down and just quietly and in their unassuming way get up and get on with it. and that's just not possible to do that to any human being, but certainly those people that held us together during the pandemic.— those people that held us together during the pandemic. presumably the concern ou during the pandemic. presumably the concern you have, _ during the pandemic. presumably the concern you have, sorry, _ during the pandemic. presumably the concern you have, sorry, is— during the pandemic. presumably the concern you have, sorry, is it - during the pandemic. presumably the concern you have, sorry, is it your- concern you have, sorry, is it your concern you have, sorry, is it your concern that because of the extraordinary year they've worked through, that many nhs staff may have reached the point where they say, i've had enough now? we know that. we are not through this pandemic, don't forget. our nurses are still out leaving front and centre the vaccination programme. they would never let the patients down. we have recently

surveyed our members and over 36% of our members are already actively looking for alternative employment or are considering resigning from their posts or taking retirement. with the 50,000 nursing workforce absent every single day, the nurses are going in on the back foot and more than 36% of them are said we have had enough, we can continue on, for our own well—being we need to look at having some worklife balance. we really fear for look at having some worklife balance. we really fearfor our health service moving forward. again, we see in the report that is very clear, the absence of workforce planning, any chance that nurses would be able to look and see light at the end of the tunnel, that the government has applied ten year plan in place.

now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. very good afternoon to you. pretty warm and sunny out there again for england and is. a different story for scotland and northern ireland, we will see some sunshine this afternoon, but will move back to rain and drizzle. temperature is 25 or 26 in parts of eastern england. temperatures over the next few nights will creep up. more cloud in the west. if anything it could turn wetter at times and northern ireland in western scotland. tomorrow, a mild and muggy start, lots of cloud in the west can stop even parts of western england and we could see splashes of rain. still sunshine in parts of the midlands and east of

england tomorrow, but overall a cloudy day, warm and humid with temperatures in the low to mid 20s. in the second half of the week, the warmth and humidity remain. hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. various websites around the world, including the guardian, the uk government's website and the new york times, are starting to come back online after going down in the last hour due to a wider internet outage. a massive crackdown on global crime after the fbi created a secure—messaging app and got criminals around the world to use it, revealing their hidden activities — leading to hundreds of arrests, the seizure of tons of drugs and hundreds of millions of pounds and acting on over 100 threats to life. we were able to actually see

photographs of hundreds of tonnes of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruit. we were able to see hundreds of kilos of cocaine that were concealed in canned goods. the health secretary is expected to announce extra help for nine areas in north—west england today, where covid rates have been rising rapidly. uk holidaymakers scramble home as portugaljoins the amber list from today. it's good that they are being cautious, but i think people should have been given a bit more notice than just three or four days to get back because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. if you are aged 25 to 29 in england, you are being told you can now book your first covid vaccine — nhs england says we're "on the home straight".

the former bosnian serb military leader ratko mladic will hear the outcome of an appeal against his genocide conviction for the 1995 srebrenica massacre later. mladic was sentenced to life imprisonment by a un war crimes tribunal in 2017. prosecutors said he personally oversaw the massacre at what was supposed to be a un—protected enclave. our correspondent in the hague anna holligan sent this report. ratko mladic was the face of an audacious military campaign, the hands—on enforcer of a political plot engineered at the top to make sections of bosnia's muslim population disappear. i would say that's probably one of the most important individuals in determining how the war would play out in bosnia—herzegovina. his responsibility and how the prosecution argued the case is that basically he was at the top of a certain pyramid of violence. it began with persecution. propaganda that turned neighbours against one

another, and for thousands ended in srebrenica. families had fled to a united nations base, a designated safe zone, expecting protection. when ratko mladic and his bosnian serb army arrived, he reassured the displaced crowds with chocolates for the children and promises of a safe passage. then separated the women from their sons, husbands and fathers. in the four days that followed, approximately 8,000 bosnian muslim men and boys were executed. we have scientific evidence. we use dna as the first line of identification. the historical evidence is there. they should start teaching this in schools, in the region and beyond the region, because this is an important contribution to justice. every single one of the 161 people indicted by this yugoslav tribunal have been accounted for. some have died, many served their time. this court has an enviable record

in terms of internationaljustice, but what of its legacy? have the legal battles fought here in the hague had any impact on reconciliation in the region? accountability in itself, prosecutions by themselves or convictions will not bring reconciliation. reconciliation has to come from within a society. so, where it looked impossible in the �*90s to have these individuals arrested, well, it happened. justice delayed doesn't mean necessarilyjustice denied. every year, the families gather in srebrenica to mourn their loss. they're hoping this year there will be some form ofjustice. anna holligan, bbc news, in the hague. when world leaders, including joe biden and angela merkel, arrive in a cornish resort later this week, they will be pressured to do more to address climate change and the environment,

but could the g7 economies learn from cornwall�*s own green example? our environment analyst roger harrabin has been finding out. towering cliffs, crashing waves, cornwall is full of british gems, and borisjohnson wants to show them off to g7 leaders. take the seaside pool in penzance. most swimmers don't like the cold. so there's a new warm pool on offer, heated not by gas, but with clean energy from hot rocks underground. it's nice that you can harness something like that and use it for something like a pool of relaxing touristy feature. yeah. it's good for the environment as well, i think. you've got to use it. and here's a gull�*s eye view of other changes. cars will no longer dominate the penzance promenade, thanks to work over the past year. priorities have been given to visitors on foot or on bikes, in a move supported

by the government. the green revolution has seen strict traffic restrictions on the high street. some love it. i think it's a step at a time, all in the right direction. bring it on. others think road closures haven't been thought through. we have so much traffic, we're gridlocked. to do what they've done now in the summertime, is ten times worse. but the green trend is growing. cornwall�*s first smart wind turbine will vary energy production to meet changes in demand for power. at the g7 meeting, the uk will urge other nations to invest more in renewables. for the world's leaders who come here, they will be able to see that cornwall is notjust talking shop. we have started our actions. we've committed to working hard with our community, because it does need to be a partnership, and we all need to to do something to actually make a difference. the farmers and their cattle are doing their bit. cow dung produces a climate

heating gas, methane. see the bubbles. the slurry will be collected in these tanks and the methane captured to power vans. g7 leaders take note. you know, making money from muck if you want to use it, you know. council vans will be running on the gas captured from cow pooh. britain's not blameless on the environment, of course. it's cut down almost all its own ancient forests. it has no plan for insulating draughty homes. and what's more, it's spending £27 billion on roads that will actually increase emissions. cornwall has its own controversy too. trees were felled at the hotel for the g7 leaders. a new report says even in a county with such rich natural assets, wildlife is in decline. for local leaders and g7 leaders, it's a massive challenge. roger harriban, bbc news.

when the former us president bill clinton wrote a novel with the authorjames patterson three years ago, it became an instant best—seller. now the pair have teamed up again to write �*the president's daughter�* — a thriller about a former president who embarks on a dramatic mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter. so how much of their fiction is based on fact? they've given their only uk interview to our arts correspondent rebecca jones. ready? she wanted to laugh and joke at the thought of being kidnapped, but the hard look in that secret service agent's eyes, so much like dad's, kept her mouth shut. so, how did the writing process work? master patterson here would give me a list of assignments, which were basically, tell us how we're going to say this without screwing it up. he was so shocked that somebody would actually give him some things to do, some tasks. i loved it.

i'm well aware that most people in the end found politics boring, if it takes you more than 15 seconds to say what you're doing. if a lot of people read this book, and like the thriller, they'll pick up some things about the presidency. the authenticity is the key thing for us. how much of the plotline is inspired by real events? were there ever specific threats made against your daughter chelsea? well, if there were, i still wouldn't talk about them. my daughter, like other adult children of presidents, loses secret service protection when you leave the white house. and normally, that's fine, because there is no real danger. but when i left, 9/11 hadn't happened yet. bin laden still had me under a fatwa because i had tried so hard to kill him, or at least capture him. and so i was worried about anybody in my family being collateral damage.

you look at things like the storming of the capitol, and you go, oh, my god, how can we write fiction that could compete with what's going on in the world? it was horrible, but if you want to live in a country where everything is about politics, everything is polarised, you're 100% right, and if you're not, you're100% wrong, this is where we are going. and you might as well get used to it. in terms of advising joe biden, he's about to come to the uk for g7 summit. should he be pushing for those g7 countries to fund a global vaccination programme? i don't want to put it like that. he's got to take his own advice. i think the g7 has a big obligation to get this vaccine out as quickly as possible to poorer countries. look at all these variants that keep coming up. all this is going to come back to the uk and united states. yourwife, hillary, is also writing a thriller. so how is that working?

we're going to kick her butt! we are scared to death. this is highly competitive, and it's a good book. yeah, he's read it. he says it's terrific. i've read it, it's really good. but these two have set the bar high. their first book sold more than 3 million copies. rebecca jones, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: serving police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty at the old bailey to the kidnapping and rape of 33—year—old sarah everard. various websites around the world, including the guardian, the uk government's website and the new york times, are starting to come back online, after going down in the last hour due to a wider internet outage. a massive crackdown on global crime after the fbi created a secure—messaging app and got criminals around

the world to use it. there are growing calls for folajimi olubunmi—adewole, who drowned in the thames while trying to save a woman's life, to be honoured at a london landmark known as postman's park. it's home to the memorial to heroic self—sacrifice, which recognises those who have died while saving the lives of others. breakfast�*s graham satchell has been to speak tojimi's family. thank you for coming today, to celebrate the hero folajimi olubunmi—adewole. jimi's funeral and tributes from friends, family and former teachers. for the family today, it's my privilege and honour to have knownjimi, to have been his football coach. to now be the head teacher of his former primary school and more importantly, to be able to say that i kneinmi, the legend. the world will for ever know him asjimi the hero. pride of britain 2021.

rest in perfect peace. until we meet again. it is just over a month sincejimi adewole lost his life trying to rescue a stranger from the thames. jimi was on his way home from work when he heard cries from the river. with another man, joaquin garcia, hejumped in. joaquin and the women were eventually saved butjimi didn't make it. i miss him, i miss him. we miss him a lot. everybody misses him. jimi's parents, ola and michael, have been inconsolable. he's an angel. angel? yes, he's an angel. as people said, hero, he's a hero. and he's an angel. jimi's death, his active heroism, has had a dramatic impact. joaquin, whojumped into the river withjimi, has been struggling with what happened. he replays the events of the night over and over in his mind. we were the same age,

the same type of guys. this comes through my mind literally every day. like, why, if ijumped from here, and hejumped from here, i make itand, you know, like... it's a very strange feeling. joaquin hasjoined calls forjimi to be honoured. i think what he did must be remembered. he did this, he is not with us, but he left this legacy. and i think it's very important for him, for his memoriam, and for his family and friends. hidden away in a small park next to st paul's cathedral, an extraordinary memorial. created by victorian artist george watts, it commemorates heroic self—sacrifice. everyday civilian heroes who gave their lives to save others. this man was just nine when he was rescued from the thames by leigh pitt. i'll always be grateful

that leighjumped in. and it was really difficult, when i found that out. i was inconsolable, i just kept crying. harley says being rescued changed his life, made him determined to give something back. he is now a youth worker, helping troubled young people. it's made me want to be the best version of myself. made me want to be better than what people thought i was going to be. there is a hope that more plaques may go up here in the gardens of postman's park to commemorate modern—day heroes likejimi. there are clearly parallels between what he did, jumping into the riverthames, heeding the calls of somebody who was in trouble, and very tragically giving his life in that cause. postman's park, forjimi, definitely, that would definitely be the place he should be commemorated. jimi has been nominated for a number of awards, including the george medal, the highest civilian award for bravery.

they say, they want to givejimi an award. so i want a promise to be made. to be considered. to be considered, yes. don't think we can forget him. we also need him to be remembered for life. it would help you? yes. there is no reason i've got to forget him. a vigilforjimi in south london. the cabinet office says it's been inundated with nominations forjimi and is considering the award of the george medal. his family say it would be a fitting tribute to rememberjimi the hero. for the people of venice, life is beginning to get back to normal.

most covid restrictions have been eased and tourists are returning, but venetians face a dilemma. visitors bring money, but too many of them can also endanger the very fabric of the city. tim allman reports. venice almost seems to defy nature. an ancient city of canals and waterways, its popularity could be its undoing. the sheer number of boats and gondolas can cause erosion. the constant movement of the water damage in the buildings. this may be a possible solution. a swedish—designed electric boat that its creators insist could make all the difference. here in venice you have a huge problem with moto ondosso, wake damage, and with our technology when you fly above the canal level or the water level, you reduce that by 95%.

who and what travels the waterways of this city is a big issue for the people who live here. only a few days ago there were noisy protests as the first cruise ship to disembark since covid restrictions eased set sail. reducing numbers and reducing speed may help but whatever the solution, is a sense that something must be done. this is an ageing city and we all love venice and if we can help to save it we should. tourist numbers are growing once more. the cafes and restaurants are seeing more custom. but if venice is to survive perhaps not everything should go back to the way it used to be. many unpaid carers are exhausted and at breaking point after looking after loved ones round—the—clock over the course of the pandemic — that's the stark warning from charities this morning.

a survey by carers uk found that coronavirus had led to people losing an average of 25 hours of support per week, with nearly two—thirds saying they didn't know how they could carry on without a break. jayne mccubbin has been speaking to some carers about their experiences. he can't do anything for himself. an absolute massive stroke on the 14th of november, 2019. you're having your tea. she needs complete support, emotionally and then physically. and it's all often against her wishes. go and do it, monica, shut the door. no, not today. will she hit me? will she pull my hair? that seems to have just become much, much worse, because it's the same every day.

for 43 years, judith has cared for her daughter, monica, who was born with profound brain damage. della's caring responsibilities for husband jim started in the months just before the first lockdown. and because of the pandemic, both families have had to struggle on their own. you haven't had any support? no. through any of the pandemic? nothing. are you exhausted? absolutely. sometimes i curl up on the sofa of an evening whenjim's watching tv, and ijust go... ..out. and then when i wake up, i'm disoriented. ithink, oh, heck, is it still today? have i still got my night shift to do? yeah, absolutely exhausted. tonnes exhausted.

a survey on behalf of five charities for carers week, found that almost three quarters of carers haven't had any breaks from their caring role during the pandemic. over two—thirds say their mental health has suffered. three—quarters say they are exhausted. more than a third say they now feel unable to manage their unpaid caring role. how are you coping? a struggle. i've always worked. della's always worked. nothing now, nothing. i'd be well dead without dell. she's me rock. judith's daughter hasn't left the house in over a year. the brilliant respite services they relied on closed because of the pandemic.

they've just restarted, but only with a third of the hours available. come on you, come on. bring your bag. monica's world has shrank to a bedroom she increasingly locks herself in. when the support stopped, you're prompted to realise how much you just do depend on it. are you coming? i don't think so. have there been times, because of the pandemic, when you thought, i don't think i can carry on doing this? erm, there have been times, and some close friends have actually made that decision after 30 years of caring. because the service has just fell apart? this has been too much forthem, and, erm... my friend, her son's gone into a care home and she's distraught. she cries herself to sleep every night. when was the last time you both went out, then?

eh, august bank holiday last year. that's months ago. bleak. yeah, yeah, proper bleak. but he's here. that's the main thing. it's a lifelong thing that you do because you love them. you love your sons and daughters. love sustains them, but charities say carers need and deserve more. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. there you go, sorted. that wasn't too bad, was it? yes. the government said it recognises the "vital role" of unpaid carers during the pandemic, and that it would "continue to work closely with carer organisations to support them". now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello, again. as we go through the next few

days, the weather is not only getting warmer — you'll find it's also it is going to turn increasingly humid and we will have more rain, particularly in the north and west. the highest rainfall is in the west of scotland, elsewhere it will be patchy, and in central and eastern areas barely a drop of rain and fog this week. we have seen some light rain and drizzle in western areas. it stays cloudy across much of northern ireland, western scotland and we could see some more rain and drizzle return here in the evening. on the east, temperatures remaining in the 20s until the early part of the evening. through this coming night, more rain and drizzle will come and go in western areas. it could be have your personal northern ireland and the most western parts of scotland. temperatures creeping

up of scotland. temperatures creeping up night on night at the moment, creeping up through the week. air is being drawn all the way from the mid—atlantic. we start to pick up more of a breeze for northern ireland and scotland through wednesday and more in the way of rain. heavier burst at times. we could see rain and drizzle in parts of northern and western england as well as west and wales. the sunniest conditions on wednesday through the midlands and eastern england. with that humid air in place, through wednesday night into thursday morning, temperatures will drop much. these are the lowest temperature is taking us into thursday morning. it will be a humid start. that is because we still have that run of south—westerly winds coming all the way from the mid—atlantic. further rain in north—west scotland. extensive cloud elsewhere. we are not expecting huge amounts of sunshine on thursday, just the odd bright break here and

there. even with the cloud, temperatures still widely in the low to mid 20s across the country. we will still see the cloud on friday, but by a week and more sunshine and it will turn hot, especially for england and. some spots in england that could get close to 30 degrees. goodbye for now.
