extradition to the united states. actorjames michael states. actor james michael tyler states. actorjames michael tyler best known for playing guenther in france has died aged 59. in the writings in the cave wall. we'll be uncovering the cultural treasures hidden beneath the hills of indonesia. the facebook whistle—blower will give evidence to british mps. she is in london to give her view in the uk's government plans to social media and it will be the first public evidence she has given regarding her experiences at

the company. and she spoke to the company. and she spoke to the us congress earlier this month, she claimed facebook consistently chose to maximise its growth rather than implement safeguards on its platforms and she also said,. facebook has hit back, saying it cares deeply about issues like safety, well—being and mental health. she said the company can have children's mental health. she has made a campaigner. his 14—year—old daughter took her own life after viewing disturbing content on instagram which is owned by facebook. she's the former facebook insider who revealed its most closely guarded secrets.

14—year—old molly russell... he's the father who lost his daughter to suicide — now campaigning to protect other children online. nice to meet you. today they met for the first time. so what do you think the impact of molly's story was on instagram as a platform and how it approaches safety? facebook is full of kind, conscientious, well—meaning people. the real question is around, can we, as a public, change the incentives such that it makes more sense for facebook to invest more money in safety on instagram? so i'm sure that molly's... the experience that molly had caused them to look at these questions more. so one of the things that lead us to find out more about molly was some notes that she'd left that were found after she died. and in one of them she wrote, "i keep a lot to myself, and it

keeps building up inside." "you get addicted to it, and you don't even realise you've spun out of control." "you're living in a trap, in a circle." what's so dangerous about having children under the age of 16, under the age of 18, using systems like instagram is that facebook�*s own research shows that a startlingly high fraction of them exhibit what is known as problematic use, which means that they can't regulate their own usage of the product. it's kind of like cigarettes in that way. and they know it's hurting their physical health, their schoolwork or their employment. facebook says it has never allowed content that promotes or encourages suicide or self—harm and it works with experts to continually update its policies. as time goes on, as a parent bereaved by the suicide of his 14—year—old, i look at a huge corporation with massive resources and say, "there must be more you can be doing." unquestionably, facebook could be investing more resources in making the platforms safer. they have made a series of choices to prioritise profits over people.

what do you think regulators can do to persuade those big tech companies to behave differently? there's no company in the world that has as much power as facebook and as little transparency. in a statement, facebook said... a whistle—blower and a campaigner with one aim — to make social media a safer place. angus crawford, bbc news. earlier i spoke to a technology journalist and former european communications managerfor communications manager for instagram which communications managerfor instagram which was owned by facebook. i asked what we can expect when she speaks to british mps on monday. i think the british mps will be looking to try and lean this back to the proposals for the uk's online safety bill which has every potential to be the first of these kind of rules that is

going to legislate against tech companies being introduced. i cant imagine she's going to reveal any kind of new documents or information she is not shared before because this is a very carefully orchestrated pr and communications campaign. that is not to belittle what she is doing that she is speaking out but there are, you know, there are both sides of this argument are both sides of this argument are releasing information and apply in certain ways to try and for certain conversations. that might sound cryptic but what i am trying to say is that the two sides to every story. facebook are very concerned about what she's going to say and what people like me as an ex employee of the company are saying about facebook right now. and we need to see what comes out of this. it is very hard to defend facebook other than i spent a number of years there and people who work on these platforms care about the

users and they care about improving the experiences deeply but facebook does put profit before people because it is a private company. show me one that doesn't. that is the challenge. and regulations from external party might help. just to reference the fact, your time at instagram, when you are there what was your sense of how much of the company was able to regulate its own products and a desire to do this. it products and a desire to do this. ., . products and a desire to do this. ., , ., , this. it was moving very quickly- _ this. it was moving very quickly- i _ this. it was moving very quickly. ijoined - this. it was moving very quickly. i joined the - this. it was moving very - quickly. ijoined the company when had less than 200 million users and within a year were up to 600 million users globally. i spent a great deal of time with experts, communicating the safety features and how young people could be saved. even meeting with mental health groups and organisations in the uk to try and have those conversations. facebook could spend more money on improving all of its platforms and doing

more to protect people on those platforms but it is a private organisation. whether or not there will be any revelations really shocked and surprised people, i'm not entirely sure was. facebook is a business and it makes decisions for the future and the benefit of its business but i am looking forward to seeing what comes out of tomorrow. i hope they can have a really mature conversation on both sides, by the government not beating up tech companies all the time because the uk government has a track record of wanting to hold them accountable for more than they should be and the tech companies themselves start listening and realising that regulation is the way they're going continue and survive and thatis going continue and survive and that is how they are going to move forward with external organisations helping guide them.

you will find lots more about theissues you will find lots more about the issues surrounding facebook on our website including a look at the science of social media addiction. let's take a look at some of the other stories. police in uganda have described a deadly explosion at the bar and restaurant in the capital is an act of domestic terror and they say three men bought food and drinks and face an explosive device under a table which went off moments after they left. a20—year—old waitress died in the attack and three other people were injured. the military authorities have condemned the united nations after it warned of an impending mass atrocity in the north west. the

representative of foreign affairs said the un was using human rights as a tool to intervene. i6 human rights as a tool to intervene. 16 people have been evacuated from a container ship en route to vancouver when it caught fire on saturday of canada's pacific coast. coast guard say the initial fire appears to be at an official say there is no safety risk. the latest pictures of smouldering chemicals full of chemicals. dozens fell into the choppy sea and to the

containers and vie contain hazardous materials used for mining. preventing the ship's crew from spraying cold water directly on the fire. hours ago the coast guard reported the emergency zone around the ship increased to two nautical miles. almost four kilometres. after the fire broke out in ten containers on saturday 16 people were evacuated with five reported the remaining by choice including the boat's captain. anchored around eight kilometres of the city of victoria in british columbia the 200 metre long cargo ship reportedly charted by an israeli company was en route to vancouver amid a global shipping trafficjam. with gale force winds predicted for the area, the canadian coast guard reports team is monitoring air quality both and unsure. the hazardous materials response team has been mobilised and the

result marine group were contacted for salvage operations. the shipping company which manages the container ship said no injuries were reported and that the fire appears to have been contained. so far, no safety risk is composited to people unsure. one of colombia's most wanted drug traffickers is facing extradition after being captured in a major international operation. he was found hiding in thejungle near the panama border. hundreds of special forces troops took part in the nation. colombia has announced he'll be extradited after his capture on saturday.

early i spoke to a us navy reservist who served in colombia and he explained the process. you make with 120 judicial orders against and there is no doubt that will spend the rest of his life in prison. but extradition is a priority for two reasons. colombia's prisons are overcrowded and a risk that there may not be enough intelligence again if there is a threat against a live circumstances in which you can escape but the administration is trying to demonstrate cooperation with the us government after an incident last year in which members of the party were campaigning for president tram. the biden administration is given a cold shoulder to the administration right now we seen a thawing in

an attempt to return to a more cooperative special relationship. he is a huge household name in colombia. he has been compared to pablo escobar. how much does this impact the trade of cocaine? it won't affect the drug war in any meaningful way. cocaine production has been on the rise since 2012 and we seen other major actors neutralised over that period. in order to deal with the drug war and the threat we need to focus on demand and that is something underscored this week. there is a shared responsibility in countries that consume drugs and the source countries for

illicit narcotics and a big part of the equation is restoring the presence of the colombian state in areas where it is absent. we are talking about prosperity. creating opportunities for farmers to do other things. crop substitution and providing the infrastructure to get there legal products to market. if you want to get in touch with me about any of the stories that you have seen so far i'm on twitter. i'm looking forward to hearing from you. still to come on the programme the world's old escape paintings are discovered in indonesia. we get rare access to this remarkable find.

governments. but this comes as these aerial bombardments are being expanded to other areas over the past week. over the air strikes focused on the region. and now seeing that they are happening outside and there i suggesting these air strikes might be like the war itself expanding to other areas as well. �* �* as well. the bbc reporting there. archaeologists - as well. the bbc reporting | there. archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest known animal cave painting in indonesia. a panel showing wild pigs believed to have been made 45,500 years ago was found in a cave in a remote valley on the island. previously, rock art found in european sites were considered to be the world's oldest artworks but the bbc in indonesia was giving their access to film inside the cave. rebecca has more.

here in this remote valley is the worlds oldest known painting of animals. the discovery made by a doctoral student at australia's griffith university. 50 metres inside the cave they found this panel that appears to tell the story of wild pigs fighting. translation: the panel expresses quite - a complex narrative. two boars are painted on top of each other. if we look closely at pigs it

looks like the artist has used a brush dipped into paint to make the strokes on the cave wall. we see a different style with the hands. it appears as if a spray technique was used. they put their hands on the wall and then sprayed the pigment on. using a uranium series isotope dating technique it's been revealed that it was made more than 45,000 years ago. translation: it says - if the painting wants to show the animals are moving. the fact that the artist could create such an imaginative work from 45,000 years ago is truly extraordinary. the team of archaeologists behind the discoveries are even older paintings may be found in nearby case. this ancient art a source of great national pride.

translation: these cave art is really unique. - nothing quite like it in the world. so i tell young people in your blood are these clever genes, brilliant genes. it proves that 45,000 years ago your ancestors made this incredibly clever paintings. researchers are warning that the art is decaying at an alarming rate due to the effects of climate change. rising temperatures causing these ancient paintings to crumble. in other stories chart—topping musician ed sheeran says he is self isolating after testing positive for covid 19. the announcement comes less than one week before the release of his new album. in a post on his instagram the singer says he will continue to give planned

scotland. merging together to produce longer spells of rain, quite cloudy too. some heavy ones as well across the south of england. some of these could contain some hail and thunder. a few getting in towards the east on this strong west south—westerly breeze, but many eastern areas should stay dry. and it will be windy, particularly around coasts of scotland, particularly the northern and western isles. temperatures mild again in the south, 14 to 16 celsius, maybe a little bit fresher across scotland and northern ireland. as we move through monday night, it stays breezy, lengthy clear spells, further showers. these showers will tend to fade away because we'll start to see this weather front approaching northern ireland and western scotland later in the night to bring some windy weather, more cloud and more persistent rain around. it's going to be another pretty mild night to come, temperatures no lower than around 6 or 7 celsius. so here is the pressure chart for tuesday. we've got a pretty vigourous area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk. this weather front will be affecting more northern and west parts of the country. further south and east

you are, close to this area of high pressure over the near continent, then it is likely to stay largely dry. but it will be a breezy day wherever you are. like i mentioned, staying largely dry with some sunny spells across southern and eastern areas. cloudier further north and west, outbreaks of rain, some heavy and persistent, particularly across western hills, northern and western scotland, perhaps into north—west england, north west wales at times. it will be pretty cloudy and dull, but look at these temperatures. despite the cloud and rain in the north, all the sunshine in the south, looking at temperatures a good five degrees above average. it's very mild as we move into the middle part of the week. further wet and windy weather across north—western areas, and by friday, it looks like some of that wet weather will reach southern and eastern parts as well. see you later.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour. banging drum.
