hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. ratko mladic, the former bosnian serb commander, has had his conviction for war crimes upheld in a court in the hague. mladic had appealed his life sentence for genocide over the massacre of nearly eight thousand muslim men and boys at srebrenica in 1995. from the mothers in a serbia, bosnia, there is one person responsible, and that is mladic. hundreds of organised criminals across the world, including hit squads, drug gangs and the mafia, are arrested in a crime sting led by the fbi and australia. all they talk about his drugs, violence. _ all they talk about his drugs, violence, hits on each other, innocent _ violence, hits on each other, innocent people who are going to be murdered. _ innocent people who are going to be murdered, a whole range of things. and a slap seen around the world —

two men in the south of france are arrested over an assault on president macron. the former bosnian serb commander ratko mladic has had his conviction for genocide upheld. the final decision, rejecting his appeal, was taken by the international criminal court in the hague — and this was his reaction. mladic shook his head as the 5 judges confirmed his life sentence. that was originally imposed in 2017 after he was convicted of personally overseeing the massacre of nearly 8000 bosnian muslim men and boys in srebrenica in 1995. here's the prosecutor speaking after the verdict. the time has come to accept the truth. mladic ranks amongst

the most notorious war criminals in modern history. he intentionally used his military command to attack, kill, torture, rape and expel innocent civilians for no reason other than their ethnicity and their religion. he inflamed ethnic hatred and lied to those he pretended to defend in order to justify his crimes. today, families of the victims have been reacting. translation: i'm hoping for those l who are claiming that genocide never happened to change their mind. for all the victims and for all the mothers in the serbia, croatia, bosnia, there is one person responsible, and that is mladic. with more on the events that led up to the srebrenica massacre, here's the bbc�*s anna holligan. 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 the determining how the war would play out in bosnia. 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 families had fled to a united nations base, a designated safe zone expecting protection. when 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 8000 bosnian muslim men and boys were executed. today's decision wasn't

entirely unanimous — and the presiding judge signalled her own dissenting opinion. here's anna holligan on that. the presiding judge, judge naimbi, issued a dissenting opinion, and that was with regard to a number of the counts, but also crucially to the life sentence, and what this means, one of the survivors just said is that it's a boost for those who seek to deny the genocide, and it means there is room for those who argue this didn't happen, that the numbers were exaggerated, that they can point to this historic document and say, "well, actually, look, one of the judges of the yugoslavia "tribunal disagreed with these findings," and this really is an issue in the region, of course, because so many of these communities are still divided. the court also upheld mladic's acquittal on a separate genocide charge, rejecting a prosecution appeal. here's the reaction

from the bosnian foreign minister. we are also disappointed in which we believe _ we are also disappointed in which we believe the _ we are also disappointed in which we believe the atrocities and genocide had happened and had not been listed neither— had happened and had not been listed neitherjudgment has included them. the first— neitherjudgment has included them. the first of— neitherjudgment has included them. the first of them is according to three _ the first of them is according to three and — the first of them is according to three and half thousand people who have treen— three and half thousand people who have been killed and approximately 1500 people are still missing. so it must _ 1500 people are still missing. so it must be _ 1500 people are still missing. so it must be that they are in mass graves and we _ must be that they are in mass graves and we intend to discover who they are. personally, from the list of this included 150 members of my family. _ this included 150 members of my family, research family, so they are not listed _ family, research family, so they are not listed at — family, research family, so they are not listed at the addresses, are they— not listed at the addresses, are they being killed? have they disappeared? they moved out? now i believe _ disappeared? they moved out? now i believe many other people in bosnia srebrenica _ believe many other people in bosnia srebrenica are sharing the same stories— srebrenica are sharing the same stories and same pain.

next on outside source, all the details — next on outside source, all the details on — next on outside source, all the details on a huge sting operation against global crime networks _ more than 800 suspected criminals have been arrested. australia and the us have been taking the lead — and there have been raids in several countries in the past two days. these pictures are from a raid in australia. the operations there have included more than 4,000 law enforcement officers. this is some of the cash seized in new zealand as the police there made 35 arrests there. and these were raids from the netherlands. the suspects were tracked when they used what they thought were using phone technology that couldn't be intercepted, but the network they were using was being run by the fbi in the us. the americans then shared what they learned with counterparts around the world — and this international operation followed. here are some of the officials involved. for nine months, we have been

receiving intelligence to build criminal cases, and we have also had information that has helped us to prevent moreira ben ten plan to murderers within sweden. for the first time in many years, we have seen a decrease in shootings and explosions in sweden.— explosions in sweden. now, the olice explosions in sweden. now, the police and _ explosions in sweden. now, the police and the _ explosions in sweden. now, the police and the netherlands - explosions in sweden. now, the police and the netherlands have arrested — police and the netherlands have arrested 49 suspects and smuggled dru- arrested 49 suspects and smuggled drug production locations. the police — drug production locations. the police also seized large quantities of drugs, — police also seized large quantities of drugs, eight firearms and 2.3 million — of drugs, eight firearms and 2.3 million euros. as well as a risk and the compensation of asset. that ca ture the compensation of asset. that capture data _ the compensation of asset. that capture data has _ the compensation of asset. that capture data has given the afp evidence — capture data has given the afp evidence and _ capture data has given the afp evidence and unique _ capture data has given the afp evidence and unique insights . capture data has given the afp . evidence and unique insights into how organised _ evidence and unique insights into how organised crime _ evidence and unique insights into how organised crime works - evidence and unique insights into how organised crime works in - how organised crime works in australia _ how organised crime works in australia and _ how organised crime works in australia and internationally. | next, let's hearfrom the organisation at

the heart of this, the fbi. 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. 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 fruit. we are able to see hundred kilos of cocaine that were concealed in canned goods. the success of operation trojan shields is a result of tremendous innovation, dedication and unprecedented international collaboration and the results are staggering. next, let's have a look more closely at those results. this operation was co—ordinated from san diego. and this is the attorney for southern california. grand totals for the entire

investigation include 800 arrests and seizures of more than eight tonnes— and seizures of more than eight tonnes of— and seizures of more than eight tonnes of cocaine. 22 tonnes of marijuana. _ tonnes of cocaine. 22 tonnes of marijuana, to tonnes of methamphetamine and amphetamine. six tonnes— methamphetamine and amphetamine. six tonnes of— methamphetamine and amphetamine. six tonnes of precursor chemicals, 250 firearms _ tonnes of precursor chemicals, 250 firearms and more than 48 million in various— firearms and more than 48 million in various worldwide currencies. and key to all of this is the evidence obtained through those messages sent on what the suspects thought were secure phones. for more on that, let's hear the european perspective. this is the european crime agency europol. more than 20,050 —— more than 2000 and crypt of devices used by more than 300 criminal syndicates operating in more than 100 companies. more than 27 million messages obtained and reviewed over 18 months.

well, this is how the authorities gained access to these messages. the suspects used special phones that only used a service called anom — and that was was created by the fbi. we believe these phones have no email, calls or gps. they could only message other anom phones. and they only be bought on the black market costing around $2,000. and in order to use these phones, a code from an existing user is required. and these phones became popular. the chief constable of the dutch police explains this part of the story. up to the present moment, thousands of criminal users wrongly believed themselves to be unobserved in their communication via this service. eventually, hundreds of criminal organisations were using this platform. it has a good reputation among criminals. they mutually promoted it as the platform you should use for its absolute reliability.

but nothing was further from the truth. on anom, criminals communicated in more than 45 languages about things like trafficking and drugs, arms and explosives, ram raids, atm gas attacks, armed robberies and, last but not least, contract killings. this was all possible after the fbi had decided to target encrypted messaging services — it was confident they were being widely used by organised crime. and so first it dismantled two existing services and then began operating its own encrypted device company called anom. devices with this chat app were distributed in the criminal underworld. the devices were initially used by alleged senior crime figures. others soon followed. police said fugitive australian drug trafficker hakan ayik was a centralfigure. he 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. here's the australian federal police commissioner on the conversations they could see. when you get access, and it will come out in court, you'll see that all they talk about is drugs, violence, hits on each other, innocent people who are going to be murdered. a whole range of things. so there's nothing about... it would be like, "i need 1,000 kilos at this price". very brazen. we haven't seen it done like that. no attempt to hide behind any sort of codified kind of conversation. so this appears to be a significant outcome for the fbi. here's the bbc�*s security correspondent on with more on how it started using this technology. they were looking at a secure communications network, baby bust one group. — communications network, baby bust one group, then they recruited an undercover— one group, then they recruited an undercover informant who was working

on a new _ undercover informant who was working on a new device to provide secure communications for criminals, and he basically— communications for criminals, and he basically offered it to the fbi and they took— basically offered it to the fbi and they took it over, this device and they— they took it over, this device and they basically ran at, and it's also fascinating. — they basically ran at, and it's also fascinating, the details are that they started small, withjust fascinating, the details are that they started small, with just about 50 to _ they started small, with just about 50 to pieces, test in australia, and then through word of mouth through then through word of mouth through the criminal community, influencers within— the criminal community, influencers within the _ the criminal community, influencers within the underworld, these devices spread _ within the underworld, these devices spread in _ within the underworld, these devices spread in popularity beyond australia from around the world to measure _ australia from around the world to measure can imagine these kernels are saving — measure can imagine these kernels are saying this is a great way of munich— are saying this is a great way of munich eating securely. the authorities want to be able to listen — authorities want to be able to listen to. _ authorities want to be able to listen to, when, of course, that's exactly— listen to, when, of course, that's exactly what they were able to do for an _ exactly what they were able to do for an extended period of time. and so having set up this technology and having watched the conversations, those alleged to have distributed the phones have been now been arrested. let's go back to the attorney reperesenting southern california. charging 17 alleged distributors. these defendants are charged with violating the racketeer influenced and corrupted organisations act

known as rico. for their alleged involvement in marketing and selling thousands of devices specifically to transnational criminal organisations worldwide. the indictment alleges that all defendants knew that the devices they distributed were being used exclusively by criminals to co—ordinate drug trafficking and money laundering. the defendant's personally fielded white requests from users when devices fell into the hands of law enforcement. all of this looks like just being the beginning. the amount of evidence that's been gathered is huge — and further arrests are expected. here's europol again. you know, a digital world, criminal widely— you know, a digital world, criminal widely used — you know, a digital world, criminal widely used for illicit purposes all digital— widely used 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 free _ and messages have been gathered in the free operation and now otf green li-ht the free operation and now otf green light operation trojan shields. this will give _ light operation trojan shields. this will give an— light operation trojan shields. this will give an international law enforcement community exceptional insight _ enforcement community exceptional insight into the criminal landscape and will— insight into the criminal landscape and will provide spin off investigations. nada tawfik is in new york. this looks like quite a coup for the fbi. , . ., , ., ., fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here ou fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here you have _ fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here you have the _ fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here you have the fbi _ fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here you have the fbi able - fbi. yes, certainly. i mean for me here you have the fbi able to - here you have the fbi able to exploit the vulnerabilities of these criminal gangs. we saw for years there was this back and game where they would try to dismantle an encrypted service that, quite frankly, the gangs really reliant, notjust frankly, the gangs really reliant, not just to avoid frankly, the gangs really reliant, notjust to avoid detection initially, but to also hide their evidence. so here you have the fbi who successfully infiltrated these groups come their trust in this

software and then was able to through international cooperation and international agreements cast a very wide net and, you know, not just disrupt drug imports, but murder plots, they even found six law enforcement officers who have now been arrested through the evidence they gain from this charged with corruption. and as you are describing there, some of this evidence, really brazen, taking picture of the fruit and fish and tuna cans with the evidence of drugs and narcotics there. so the fbi has certainly been using this years long efforts to really try to hit back at criminal gangs who think there is a bit of success in using these encryption services. the message for them as you cannot now trust them, despite the fact that you are able to hide behind them for so long. presumably, one of the difficult calculations for the fbi was the moment to carried out these raids and its cover was blown. all about access that it had be about ap was

lost. . access that it had be about ap was lost. , , ., access that it had be about ap was lost. , i. ,, ., access that it had be about ap was lost. , , ., ,, ., ., access that it had be about ap was lost. , i. ,, ., ., , lost. yes, you know, that is certainly — lost. yes, you know, that is certainly one _ lost. yes, you know, that is certainly one of— lost. yes, you know, that is certainly one of the - lost. yes, you know, that is certainly one of the key - lost. yes, you know, that is i certainly one of the key points. lost. yes, you know, that is - certainly one of the key points. we talk about the evolving nature of these cyber crimes and the technology. i mean, on one hand, it is great that there is developing technology to protect you and i when we use software to protect our security, our communications, on the other hand, it does allow criminal networks to also use new ways to evade the fbi. this will certainly give them a heads up in the future about using a software, questioning whether law enforcement is listening, but certainly it will degrade some of the confidence they have in these networks going forward. i think the key part of the separation was it was senior crime figures who were recommending this chat network to so many of their associates. certainly that will cause? smoothing forward and degrade their capabilities moving forward. thank you very much. the uk government says the military

will help with surge covid testing in parts of north—west england. the areas targeted are affected by the delta variant. and this follows similar tactics in bolton last month which proved effective. the measures are now being extended to all of the boroughs that make up greater manchester — as well as parts of lancashire, including blackburn and blackpool. people are also being asked to "minimise" travel in and out of these areas. here's the health secretary. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the tests on offer. we know that this approach can work. we have seen at work in south london and in bolton in stopping a rise in the number of cases. this is the next stage of tackling the pandemic in manchester and in lancashire, and of course, it is vital that people in these areas,

as with everywhere else, come forward and get the job as soon as they are eligible, because that is our way out of this pandemic together. our way out of this pandemic together-— our way out of this pandemic touether. , ., together. this will matter whether they proceed _ together. this will matter whether they proceed with _ together. this will matter whether they proceed with easing - together. this will matter whether they proceed with easing of - together. this will matter whether they proceed with easing of a - they proceed with easing of a lockdown restriction scheduled to happen in two weeks' time. here the health editor will stop it is certainly another issue for ministers _ is certainly another issue for ministers and officials to consider before _ ministers and officials to consider before they make the big decision for england byjune the 14th next monday— for england byjune the 14th next monday as to whether all remaining restrictions should be lifted the following week beginning onjune the 21st. now, i am 21st. — now, i am told this move in 21st. now, i am told this move in -reater now, i am told this move in greater manchester— now, i am told this move in greater manchester and lancashire has been on the _ manchester and lancashire has been on the cards for a little while. it follows — on the cards for a little while. it follows what's already happened in communities like bolton and leicester and bedford and hounslow in london _ leicester and bedford and hounslow in london with this big push to do surge _ in london with this big push to do surge testing, and they will argue that it _ surge testing, and they will argue that it has — surge testing, and they will argue that it has worked up to a point in cutting _ that it has worked up to a point in cutting cases and that it can work again— cutting cases and that it can work again and — cutting cases and that it can work again and it shouldn't necessarily affect— again and it shouldn't necessarily affect the — again and it shouldn't necessarily affect the big decisions that have

there's been widespread frustration across the travel industry following the decision to switch portugal from the green list to the amber. our transport correspondent caroline davies reports. the deep blues of greece's islands, the mediterranean coves in spain and the sun—drenched beaches of portugal, all now on the amber list, legal to go to bat against government advice. there were few passengers heading out this morning from gatwick. i just think they should make it red or green, you should go or you cannot. to be fair, i have not seen my family for a while, so i will be going regardless. psychologically i feel i need to go. gatwick is very quiet today, only 60 flights in or out. the industry never thought it would reach 2019 passenger levels if people stayed in the uk, but it also did not predict there would be so few countries on the green list and it is still trying to work out how that affects its operations. operators are deciding whether to fly to amber list countries anyway.

jet2 has currently decided it will not. a family of four coming back with all those tests, it is a lot of money, people cannot afford it. it is all right for white collar workers to say i can go into quarantine, if you are a hospitality or a supermarket worker, you cannot do that. therefore, it is a nonstarter for a lot of our customers. other operators like easyjet and ryanair are flying to amber destinations, although flights are not full. ministers today said people should not be travelling there for holidays. many people, myself included, are coming to the conclusion that we should all be staying at home and enjoying the beautiful weather here in the uk. you should not be travelling to countries on that amber list or the red list. the industry says it is causing more confusion. i can see no better reason for people not to travel abroad to europe this summer, other than to avoid incompetent ministers who will be holidaying at home.

why are these government ministers telling vaccinated, british citizens and their families that they should stay—at—home? it is mindless and makes no sense. the next review of countries to go on the list will happen in less than three weeks' time, but at the moment the industry feels the tide is pulling against them. emmanuel macron was slapped earlier. this happened in the south of france. here's the moment during a preisdential walkabout. the man who delivered the slap could be heard shouting out "down with macronia". as you can see security swiftly dealt with the situation. and two people were arrested. the bbc�*s jannatjalil in paris. what more do we know about the circumstances in which this happens? it is not clear what the man's motive was. there have been some

reports that he may have shouted a royalist slogan, that sometimes associated with the far right, but that has yet to be verified. nevertheless, it has caused a lot of shock that he was able to slap mr macri mike best, and politicians have been quick to condemn this incident from all sides, whether from the far left or far right, they have come out to condemn this act of violence. i have come out to condemn this act of violence. ~ ., ., ., violence. i know that emmanuel macron has _ violence. i know that emmanuel macron has been _ violence. i know that emmanuel macron has been emphasising l violence. i know that emmanuel. macron has been emphasising this violence. i know that emmanuel- macron has been emphasising this is an isolated incident, but does age come when the president is under particular pressure? he come when the president is under particular pressure?— particular pressure? he has been emphasising _ particular pressure? he has been emphasising that _ particular pressure? he has been emphasising that it _ particular pressure? he has been emphasising that it is _ particular pressure? he has been emphasising that it is an - particular pressure? he has been emphasising that it is an isolatedj emphasising that it is an isolated incident, but at the same time, there is an increasingly violent discourse, and that has led to concerns about that perhaps could lead to more attacks against politicians. we know that village mayors for instance and lawmakers have been attacked or received death threats, but the fact that the head of state, the most protected politician in france has been hit like this has caused some shock waves, there is concern that with

just months ago, just under a year before next year's presidential election, but climates could get more fraught, there has been a couple of days of impassioned debate after a far left leader was accused of peddling antigovernment conspiracy theories, so the situation is a bit fraught in france, but it has to also be stressed that attacks like this have happened before. the former french president had his jacket pulled, emmanuel macron himself has had eggs thrown at him before he became president, and also, a former president, and also, a former president, presidential candidate had flower thrown on him. so he could just be an isolated incident, but no doubts, emmanuel macron's security will be reviewing whether they are doing everything they can to protect them. {lilia they are doing everything they can to protect them.— they are doing everything they can to protect them. 0k, thank you very much indeed- _ to protect them. 0k, thank you very much indeed. live _ to protect them. 0k, thank you very much indeed. live with _ to protect them. 0k, thank you very much indeed. live with us _ to protect them. 0k, thank you very much indeed. live with us from - to protect them. 0k, thank you very | much indeed. live with us from paris ending this half of outside source in the second half of the programme, we will learn more about how some of the most popular websites in the world were ta ken the most popular websites in the

world were taken down for a stretcher earlier today. hello. over the next few days, sunshine may not be quite as abundant for many of you as it has been for some over the week so far, but what will be evident is that even with the cloud around, it's going to be warm, pretty humid. a little bit more rain at times, but not substantial amount of rain. you can see from the rainfall chart for the rest of the week, only a few splashes are really mounting up towards the west. western scotland with the heaviest of the bursts, but central and eastern areas, little if no rain around at all. but i did mention there is not going to quite as much sunshine. the reason is the cloud that was in place from where we are tracking the air from tuesday, and so through tuesday night into wednesday, more of that will push across western areas,

greater chance of some heavier burst of rain at times for scotland, bit of rain and drizzle come and go, a bit damperfor some of the far west of england than anywhere else. clea rest of skies, central and eastern areas. rural parts, may dip down to single figures. wednesday, low pressure worthwest, south—westerly winds across the country, more cloud around, further rain at times on and off across scotland and northern ireland, particularly in the morning. greather chance in northern england and wales seeing some rain. some sunny breaks here and there, best of which central and eastern parts. 20—26, thie high, even the west will see temperatures in the low 20s. with that great amount of cloud in place as we go through wednesday night into thursday morning, the daytime warmth does not escape as easily. it is quite a muggy and oppressive night, temperatures not dropping below 15 or 16 degrees.

here's the chart into thursday, the azores high, deep low into iceland. further splashes of rain are coming and going, dampest conditions in shetland and into the hebrides. some breaks in the cloud. overall, fairly cloudy day, but even with the cloud, temperatures widely into the 20s. it will be, as i said, quite a humid and muggy day, and because we got that heat and warmth in place, when we get to the weekend, high pressure building in, increasing sunshine. temperatures will climb further. and certainly as we go into the weekend, we could see temperatures getting closer and closer to 30 degrees across parts of england in particular.

hello, i'm ros atkins, welcome back to outside source. ratko mladic, the former bosnian serb commander, has had his conviction for war crimes upheld in a court in the hague. mladic had appealed his life sentence for genocide over the massacre of nearly 8,000 muslim men and boys at srebrenica in 1995. translation: for all the mothers in serbia, croatia, _ bosnia and herzegovina, there is one person responsible, and that is mladic. the us vice president's first foreign tour takes her to mexico, with the mission of stopping the surge of migrants trying to get into the united states. a software problem earlier took down thousands of major websites, from amazon to the financial times. the

incident did not last long, but it told of some things about the vulnerability of the internet. we will get into that. and after trekking hundreds of kilometres across china, a herd of elephants take a well earned rest. we'll get the latest on their epicjourney. and why efforts are being made to stop them entering a major city. interpol say they have taken down a record number of online websites selling fake medicine during the coronavirus pandemic. counterfeit or unauthorised covid tests kits accounted for more than half of the devices seized in one week of the operation. this one was from thailand. in italy, police recovered more than half a million surgical masks, along with other medical devices. interpol run this operation every year. they seize other medicines too. in qatar, these look like baked bean cans. but the authorities there looked a little closer.

and inside, they were stuffed with pills. let's speak to stephen kavanaugh, interpol�*s executive director of police services. thanks very much forjoining us on the bbc. have you been surprised by the bbc. have you been surprised by the degree to which the pandemic has offered an opportunity for some people? offered an opportunity for some --eole? . offered an opportunity for some eo le? , , offered an opportunity for some --eole? , , , offered an opportunity for some n-eole? , , , ., people? yes, sadly, it has been one ofthe people? yes, sadly, it has been one of the most — people? yes, sadly, it has been one of the most shocking _ people? yes, sadly, it has been one of the most shocking aspects - people? yes, sadly, it has been one of the most shocking aspects of - of the most shocking aspects of this. the operation has been running since 2008, and in one week this year, we took down 130 thousand fake pharmacy sites, which in more than in the previous years put together. it is a clear indication of the sheer scale of these crimes moving online. �* sheer scale of these crimes moving online. . ,., , ~ sheer scale of these crimes moving online. . , ,, ., ., online. and it sounds like, although ou can online. and it sounds like, although you can tell— online. and it sounds like, although you can tell me _ online. and it sounds like, although you can tell me more, _ online. and it sounds like, although you can tell me more, i _ online. and it sounds like, although you can tell me more, i hope, - online. and it sounds like, although you can tell me more, i hope, thatl you can tell me more, i hope, that this is a mixture of counterfeit equipment and then also drugs which should not be used. yes. equipment and then also drugs which should not be used.— should not be used. yes, it's a mixture of— should not be used. yes, it's a mixture of surgical— should not be used. yes, it's a mixture of surgical clement, l should not be used. yes, it's a - mixture of surgical clement, covid masks as you just highlighted,

clear message to anyone watching this — you cannot buy a vaccine online, you need to go to your health authority and you need to check carefully. interpol is proud in its unique role globally to bring 92 countries together you mentioned or: anised 92 countries together you mentioned organised crime _ 92 countries together you mentioned organised crime for— 92 countries together you mentioned organised crime for bobby _ 92 countries together you mentioned | organised crime for bobby understand more the kind of networks that must sit behind these product being offered to people —— help me understand more. taste offered to people -- help me understand more.— offered to people -- help me understand more. ~ , :, , understand more. we can see varies locations across _ understand more. we can see varies locations across the _ understand more. we can see varies locations across the world _ locations across the world underground minute factoring locations, i think you highlighted the scale of the seizure in italy, 35 industrial... this is a global enterprise. we have seen the networks selling items from southeast asia into africa and bank accounts in south america. so the weight, the entrepreneurial aspect

of this for the criminal is very high, the money to be made by them is high, so what we are pleased to do with an interval is length of data sets, link those opportunities between police forces, so that they can offer these people who are so parasitic in a way that they will pursue their financial drives. stephen, we appreciate you explaining your findings to us. thanks forjoining us. next on outside source, let's talk about us vice president kamala harris. she is in mexico city today. here she is meeting the mexico's president lopez obrador. high on the agenda is illegal immigration to the us. bear in mind — 178,000 migrants arrived at the us—mexico border in april alone. that's the highest one—month total in more than 20 years. we're told the focus of the meeting will be tackling the root causes

of migration and the legal routes for reaching the us. for more on mexico's role in this issue, this is the president of the migration policy institute. i think the mexican government is willing to do a lot on migration control, make it harder for people to come across their southern border, which is something the us government asked them to do. but there's also a lot of questions about what happens as the us stops expelling people back into mexico, which has been the way the us has been doing it for the past year, 15 months, has been sending most people who try and cross into the us back into mexico. there's going to be a new regime on the border again in the next few weeks and we need the outlines of what that looks like. and i think there's a big question. the us appreciates the fact that mexico has done a great deal in terms of providing asylum to central americans and i think also wants to look at the humanitarian protection side

with the mexican government, which is something mexico has done, has been, really, an achievement of the mexican asylum agency, but it is not got as much high—level attention of the mexican government. and ironically, here, i think the us government may be pushing mexico to invest a bit more in the humanitarian protection side. will grant is in mexico city. ijust wonder where i just wonder where expectations are being set for these talks. it’s i just wonder where expectations are being set for these talks. tt’fz�*. a being set for these talks. it's a difficult one, _ being set for these talks. it's a difficult one, isn't _ being set for these talks. it's a difficult one, isn't it? - being set for these talks. it's a difficult one, isn't it? because| being set for these talks. it's a i difficult one, isn't it? because on one hand there will be an element of rebuilding the relation ship after the trump administration. during the trip administration, as you heard from the commentator there, obviously mexico had been prepared to do quite a lot in terms of preventing migrants passing through its territory, at the behest of the trip administration, but president trump's pacifically linking trade deals and action on immigration and that created great deals of resentment. plus this idea of returning asylum—seekers to mexico while they waited for their cases to

be heard in the us company but it ministration is lifted what was called remaining bicycle programme must i think there is a sense in which perhaps they want the relationship to be a bit more stable, a bit less rocky, so there will be that and then there will be this direct push on the question of immigration, 4 billion over the next four years to be invested in the region. what will mexico's role be in that of policing its southern border? ,, :, , , while mexico is one focus for the us, more than 40% of migrants who try to cross the us mexico border come from what's called the northern triangle in central america. that consists of guatemala, honduras and el salvador. you may remember these pictures from january. this was a caravan of migrants that began in honduras. at one stage, there were over 7,000 peopple, and their aim was to reach the us. that didn't happen — they were stopped in guatemala by security officers. now, as you can see here, vice president harris

was in guatemala to meet its president on on monday. afterwards, this was her message. i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the united states—mexico border. do not come. the united states will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. there are legal methods by which migration can and should occur, but we as one of our priorities will discourage illegal migration. will grant willgrant in will grant in mexico city. some viewers may be thinking, this may be all welcome but people are trained to reach those borders right now?

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 of 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're 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. theirfirst book sold more than 3 million copies. rebecca jones, bbc news. stay with me here on outside source. we are going to hear how some of these 15 elephants have watched hundreds of kilometres across china and, in doing so, have gained a huge global audience along the way. in the uk, the metropolitan police officer wayne couzens has pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping sarah everard. the 33—year—old went missing in march as she walked home from a friend's house in south london. her body was found a week later in woodland near ashford in kent. couzens made his appearance at the old bailey on a video link.

the court heard he accepted responsibility for ms everard's death, but he was not asked to enter a plea on the charge of murder. lucy manning reports. just walking home. sarah everard should have expected to get there safely and if she faced danger, a policeman should have helped. instead that police officer, wayne couzens, admitted today he had raped and kidnapped the 33—year—old. couzens, with his head bowed, twice replied, "guilty, sir," when asked how he wanted to plead. sarah everard disappeared while walking home by clapham common. today in court, wayne couzens also accepted responsibility for her killing, but he wasn't asked to plead guilty or not guilty on the murder charge because the court wants medical reports before then. the marketing executive had so much to live for — a job in london, a boyfriend, a loving family. couzens was a police protection

officer who gave her none. the everard family made the painful journey to court today. they had described sarah as bright, beautiful, a shining example to us all. after she disappeared in march, a massive search led by the metropolitan police resulted in the shock that a kidnapper and rapist and suspected murderer was in their ranks. a week later, sarah's remains were finally discovered, hidden in woodland in kent 30 miles from couzens' family home in deal. couzens is charged with murdering her some time between the 2nd and 10th of march. i'm ros atkins with outside source. we're here in the bbc newsroom. our lead story: a un tribunal in the hague has rejected the appeal by the former

bosnian serb military leader, ratko mladic, against his genocide conviction. amazon, reddit, twitch — a number of the world's most visited websites — all went down today in a massive outage. you may have had trouble accessing them. the disruption was caused by problems for a content delivery network called fastly. this is what you may have seen. brian glick is editor in chief of computer weekly. he explains what happened. a part of the internet that most people using the internet never see has had a problem. it's a company called fastly, and what they do is they help websites to improve their performance, to make the websites faster. and all those websites effectively go through a service that is provided by fastly, and it appears that this is where the problem is. so when anybody who's trying to access one of those websites, they're finding that the connection can't get through. this problem affected lots of major website.

after about an hour, it was all fixed. fastly owned up to it, tweeting... and sure enough it did. before we had that explanation, there were questions about whether hackers could have done this. here's bbc tech reporter zoe kleinman. i'm sure that they will be keen to rule out any form of cyber attack. i mean, it's a massive company, its been going for ten years, it's listed on the new york stock exchange. certainly, its investors are going to have questions. i was thinking, you know, "can i remember a time when this has happened before?" and these outages on this scale are so enormous and so rare! brian barrett is executive editor of tech and science magazine wired. great to have young the programme. thanks for your time. i would what your thoughts are on the scale of this outage and the impact it had. t

this outage and the impact it had. i think it really speaks to just how pervasive these companies are. most people had never heard of fastly, understandably, but they operate in every continent except antarctica, dozens of markets across the road, so i think it is interesting window into just how the internet sausage is made. in terms of the duration come i think fixing it in an hour is pretty impressive given the skill of the problem for some of the other thing to keep in mind is this not isolated, this has happened before to some other cdm providers, and think there so few of them out there, they are not enough redundancies in the system right now to get things bouncing back the way they should when things like this to happen. d0 they should when things like this to ha en. ,:, they should when things like this to hauen. ,, :, they should when things like this to hauen. 4' :, , happen. do you think that this hiuuhlihts happen. do you think that this highlights a — happen. do you think that this highlights a potential- highlights a potential vulnerability? i know this was a problem with fastly itself, but do get things bouncing back the way they should when things like this to happen. do you think that this highlights a potential vulnerability? i know this was a problem with fastly itself, but you can also have is one you company, if attacked, could be rude to attacking attacked, could be rude to attacking a lot of other companies? —— could be a route. a lot of other companies? -- could be a route-— a lot of other companies? -- could be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of— be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of ways _ be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of ways come _ be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of ways come in - be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of ways come in terms i be a route. that is something we've seen a lot of ways come in terms ofj seen a lot of ways come in terms of companies acting... hackers hacking

actually central to a lot of the services we use.— actually central to a lot of the services we use. that's right, it is really one — services we use. that's right, it is really one of— services we use. that's right, it is really one of three _ services we use. that's right, it is really one of three major - services we use. that's right, it is really one of three major cdm - really one of three major cdm providers. you have got fastly, you've got... those of the big three most big companies use. even amazon getting knocked off—line today, it was out for maybe 20 minutes, but it shows even amazon only has two other companies to really fall back on and that it trusts. i think there is 70 part of the internet that work like this, there has been so much consolidation, that the point of failure, that there is so few and just in terms of cdm, in terms of cloud hosting, in terms of all kinds of things, is something people really need to be aware of and consider as they think about redundancies and how we can shore up problems when one part breaks, how to keep the rest of it moving. brian, we appreciate your time, and people watching can get the insight of bryant andy's colleagues on the

wired website. —— brian and his colleagues. let's go to china now, for an update on a story that's been grabbing attention inside and outside china. it's all about this wandering herd of chinese elephants — they've travelled a vast distance in the south of china over the last 15 months. just having a snooze there. it's all thought to have begun in a nature reserve near china's border with myanmar and laos, where the herd originated. they travelled north, passing through pu'er in yunnan province in july last year. the herd then crossed almost 500 km before, last week, reaching a place called xiyang. ——jinning. it's on the outskirts of a city of six million called kunming, which is a city of almost 6.5 million people. authorities are desperately trying to prevent them from arriving at kunming — and they're being tracked on the ground and by drone. here's one local official. translation: what impressed me most

was the incident at the boundary - of the river and the city. it seemed the wild elephants were checking the roads and surroundings of the river. however, they eventually failed to cross the river. our staff members used excavators to make gentle slopes on both sides of the river so that they could pass through. the elephants successfully crossed the river after walking back and forth for several hours. let's speak to kerry allen, a bbc china media analyst. she is live with us as she often is on outside source was why is this heard suddenly a concern now is approaching this big city? kunming is such a big _ approaching this big city? kunming is such a big city. _ approaching this big city? kunming is such a big city. it's _ approaching this big city? kunming is such a big city. it's got _ is such a big city. it's got skyscrapers, and airport, train stations, and now in china come in most cities people are getting back to normal postal people are moving around freely and there have been cases in the past where elephants could actually kill somebody. they're also been props being damaged —— crops been damaged as a result of the elements travelling through areas. yet, the authorities are trying to redirect them and get them back to where they came from in

you back tomorrow with more bigger global stories as usual. bye—bye. hello. over the next few days, sunshine may not be quite as abundant for many of you as it has been for some over the week so far, but what will be evident is that even with the cloud around, it's going to be warm, pretty humid. a little bit more rain at times for the north and west, but not substantial amounts of rain. you can see from the rainfall chart for the rest of the week, only a few splashes are really mounting up towards the west. it's western scotland with the heaviest of the bursts, with the highest of the totals, but central and eastern areas, little if no rain around at all. but i did mention there is not going to be quite as much sunshine. the reason is we are dragging in south—westerly winds, tropical maritime air, all the way and from the mid atlantic. this is the cloud that was in place from where we are dragging the air

from through tuesday, and so through tuesday night into wednesday, more of that will push across western areas. greater chance of some heavier bursts of rain at times for scotland, northern ireland. but rain and drizzle will come and go, a bit damper for some in the far west of england and wales. clea rest of skies, central and eastern areas. rural parts, may dip down into single figures. but overall, night on night, it's getting milder at the moment. temperatures in double figures for most as we start wednesday. wednesday, high pressure southeast of us, low pressure to the northwest, hence we are bringing those south—westerly winds across the country. more cloud around generally again, further rain at times on and off across scotland and northern ireland, particularly in the morning. greather chance northern, western england and wales of seeing some rain or drizzle from the thicker cloud. there will still be some sunny breaks here and there, best of which central and eastern parts, 20—26, the high. but even the cloudier west will see temperatures in the low 20s. with that great amount of cloud in place as we go through wednesday night into thursday morning, the daytime warmth does

not escape as easily. it is going to be quite a muggy and oppressive night, temperatures not dropping below around 15 or 16 degrees for some of you as we start thursday morning. here's the chart into thursday, the azores high, deep low towards iceland. and that's going to strengthen the winds. breeziest day of the week, particularly to the north and of the country. further splashes of rain are coming and going, dampest conditions in shetland and into the hebrides. some breaks in the cloud. overall, a fairly cloudy day, but even with the cloud, temperatures widely into the 20s. it will be, as i said, quite a humid and muggy day, and because we've got that heat and warmth in place, when we get to the weekend, high pressure building in, increasing amounts of sunshine. temperatures will climb further. and certainly as we go into the weekend, we could see temperatures getting closer and closer to 30 degrees across parts of england in particular.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm. more support for greater manchester to increase vaccinations and testing. it's where the indian or delta variant of covid is spreading fastest. this includes rapid response teams, putting in extra testing, military support and supervised in—school testing. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the test on offer. the sun is out, the beaches are ready but where are the tourists? anger across the travel industry over the government's travel guidance. a metropolitan police officer has pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and rape of sarah everard. she disappeared while walking home in march.

wayne couzens accepts he killed ms everard,
