live from london. this is bbc news. the uk government has leased a barge that will house 500 asylum—seekers, it seeks to cut hotel cost for migrants. 2a people in the uk are arrested following the shutdown of following one of the worlds biggest criminal marketplaces, genesis used by online fraudsters to buy passwords. public anger grows in iran after 20 female students are hospitalised after being allegedly poisoned by an unknown toxic gas. hello and welcome.

one of the world's biggest criminal marketplaces, used by online fraudsters to buy passwords, has been shut down following a global police investigation. known as genesis market, it sold login details, ip addresses and other personal data, allowing criminals to log into bank accounts. 2a people have been arrested in the uk. with more on this, we can talk to our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. tell us more about the latest on the story. more than 120 people arrested worldwide in this operation, which is been run by dutch police and the fbi in the united states and also police didn't new zealand, australia, canada, the uk, with the national agency took the lead and also all across europe. it's been a very big operation, running for around 36 hours now. the idea was to take this website, genesis market

out of action and also to arrest many of the people suspected of using it to bleed back in very large numbers. it's thought about 2 million peoples dater was for sale on genis market. it wasn'tjust logins and passwords, simple access to peoples banking accounts and shopping accounts but also all sorts of other information about the computer they usually use, browse the information about ip address, physical location and putting all that together would allow a hacker to actually pretty much convinced a or a shopping service that it was the genuine owner of that username and password. and therefore allow them to get much more access to money or to goods before they were detected. that is what genesis market specialise in. now if you log into genesis market website you'll get a message from the fbi saying that it's been seized as part of

operation cookie monster. that title operation cookie monster. that title operation cookie monster is a reference to the fact that one of the things on sale on genesis was cookies, things which are put out on your computer when you log in to help you log in the next time. genesis market was even selling those who help conceal the fact that it was a hacker and not a genuine user logging in. it was a hacker and not a genuine user logging in-— user logging in. daniel, it is 17 countries. _ user logging in. daniel, it is 17 countries, law— user logging in. daniel, it is 17 countries, law enforcement i user logging in. daniel, it is 17- countries, law enforcement agencies from 17 countries were involved in this? ., from 17 countries were involved in this? . , , ., ., from 17 countries were involved in this? . , ., ., ., this? that gives you the idea of how im ortant this? that gives you the idea of how important it — this? that gives you the idea of how important it was _ this? that gives you the idea of how important it was viewed, _ this? that gives you the idea of how important it was viewed, that - this? that gives you the idea of how important it was viewed, that they l important it was viewed, that they should be a worldwide operation. in many ways law enforcement is been on the back foot on cybercrime, on people trading in this data, allowing them to easily commit fraud over and over again. allowing them to easily commit fraud overand overagain. in allowing them to easily commit fraud over and over again. in order to make sure that this one biggest website trading in this kind of data and also one of the most notorious for that because it was so easy to access and you didn't really need to be in advanced cyber criminal to use

the data on this website. that's the importance that was viewed, tickets reflected in the shared number of very sophisticated law enforcement agencies across those 17 country. that's why they were all involved. thank you. here in the uk, 21 people have been convicted for their involvement, in the largest ever child sex abuse case, investigated by west midlands police. thirteen have already been jailed. 0ur correspondent phil mackie interviewed senior investigating 0fficerjoanne floyd on the complexity and outcome of the case. let's take a listen. the complexity and the horrendous nature of it spanned so many different levels, not only in terms of the vulnerability of the children, how young they were from when the offending first started for them. but also in terms of the prolonged nature of it, the daily nature of it, the fact that they were exposed to such harm at such a high level

for such a long period of time, and for anyone who has experienced trauma of any kind can can only ever hope to imagine the trauma that they must be feeling and what they must be doing to try to recover. and they will need time to recover, but it's going to be a life's journey for them. have you been able to talk to them since all of the verdicts came in and what's their reaction been? so we have kept in contact with them on an ongoing basis and their reaction is probably one of stoicism. they take no joy in the experience. there is no winners in this situation. and and and they in no way feel happy or glad. it's just not an experience that they feel. but they are resigned and they are glad that it's over. and i think they see this point as a point when they can move on with their lives. and they're certainly in a much better place in every way at this point in time.

and the sense that obviously we haven't had all the sentences but 21 convictions is a lot of people have ever been a case like this that you're aware of? not that i'm aware of. i have 32 years in the police service and quite a significant proportion of that working in child protection. and certainly, i have had large cases, but nothing of the scale and complexity of this case. the home office has confirmed that at least a barge to asylum—seekers in dorset. around 500 asylum seekers will be in portland. the home office has confirmed that a barge would be towed here into portland port in the next few months and that it will be used to house up to you 500 single male asylum—seekers pulled up who will be held while they are asylum claims are being processed. we are told the boat which is called the stockholm will be in use for at

least the next 18 months and that 20 for seven security will be provided on board. the home—office says that's to minimise disruption to the local community here. this is in a combination barge that is been used in the past to house oil rig workers, that's sort of thing. it's currently going under a refit as we understand but will arrive here in portland port for the ipo talking people on the harbour front here this afternoon, some of whom were very much in opposition to this plan, saying they were fearful of the impact this would have on the area on services in this community. perhaps on house prices to was to one lady even mentioned that cruise ships now call this portable will they still want to do that if there is in effect something like a prison ship next door? also to question for the local community here. other people saying they recognise that this is a huge issue that these migrants, asylum—seekers need to be house somewhere and they are indeed welcome here. but the local mp has strongly voiced his opposition, he's

a conservative mp who says that he's even considering taking legal action against this decision that the government has made. the home—office says this is its commitment to reducing the hotel bills that it currently faces for housing asylum—seekers and that this will provide minimum level of accommodation that will keep those asylum—seekers safe while their claims are processed. they say they are talking to other ports and considering chartering other vessels to do this in other places. dan johnson. it's not the first time the uk government has floated the idea of hosting wagons on both. let's get more from nikki who is in the newsroom for us was up as you heard, the boat is going to be more off dorset. ., the boat is going to be more off dorset. . ., , , dorset. the idea has been floating around for the _ dorset. the idea has been floating around for the last _ dorset. the idea has been floating around for the last three - dorset. the idea has been floating around for the last three years - around for the last three years with “p around for the last three years with up let me give you an idea of newspaper headlines. the 1st of october 2020, newspaper headlines. the 1st of 0ctober2020, it newspaper headlines. the 1st of october 2020, it says loading asylums centres planned on retired players from the times with a week later the males at the various plan is on migrants will be held on both

more that ships with up a government itself says that it cost more than £6 million a day to house migrants in hotels however, we do have the announcement as we heard from dan today that they will be a ship housing 222 people, it will be moored off the coast of dorset and the government says that that will be significant leak cheaper than housing people in hotels. thank you for that, providing _ housing people in hotels. thank you for that, providing a _ housing people in hotels. thank you for that, providing a bit _ housing people in hotels. thank you for that, providing a bit of— for that, providing a bit of background and contacts with is an important story. very popular story. many are clicking and reading on our website. let's talk about the world family. buckingham palace has indicated that after the coronation the clea n two clean two queen course will be known as queen camilla. this title has been used on the formal invitation to next month's ceremony at westminster abbey when she will be crowned alongside the king. the invitation itself has been

printed on recycled paper with ornate illustrations — including a folklore figure representing re—birth known as the green man. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. a new photograph issued by buckingham palace one month and one day ahead of the coronation, showing the king and the queen consort, as the palace has been at pains to call her from the moment charles came to the throne. but alongside the photograph, the palace also issued this. a copy of the official invitation to the coronation, a brightly coloured document with images of nature. birds, butterflies, flowers and a green man. but it's not the images, but the words that have caught the eye. the invitation refers to the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla. the wording, camilla, the queen consort, has been dropped. and it's clear that that is quite deliberate. the time has come, the palace and no doubt the king feel, for the wife of the king to be known as the queen.

and after she's crowned alongside the king at westminster abbey on the 6th of may, she will be referred to as queen camilla. one other point of interest. among the eight pages of honour who will process through the abbey with the king and queen will be nine—year—old prince george. he will get a very close view of the ceremony in which one day he will be the central figure. nicholas witchell, bbc news. they you have it. for more on this story, i spoke to professor anna whitelock, professor of the history of the monarchy.. i asked her why the title of queen camilla so significant. it i asked her why the title of queen camilla so significant.— i asked her why the title of queen camilla so significant. it means so much because _ camilla so significant. it means so much because of— camilla so significant. it means so much because of the _ camilla so significant. it means so much because of the back - story of camilla. if we remember back to the marriage of camilla with charles, back in 2005, the suggestion was that she would only ever be princess consort. and the idea, the prospect of her crowned as queen was really something that no

one would've imagined possible. then in february last year the late queen elizabeth ii spoke of her sincere wish that camilla become queen courtside in time. and here we have in many ways a statement of the norm that she will be known as queen camilla. just like all those other clean concerts in history. the title as queen consort, she is the consort to the king. but the style will be queen camilla, just like the late queens mother, queen elizabeth was queens mother, queen elizabeth was queen elizabeth when she was crowned next to king george vi. in many ways it's normalfor them and indeed, if camilla was going to remain queen consort as her title and style that would be the anomaly.— would be the anomaly. what's significant _ would be the anomaly. what's significant about _ would be the anomaly. what's significant about this, - would be the anomaly. what's significant about this, many i would be the anomaly. what's - significant about this, many people follow the world family for decades is the complete turnaround that we've had from when we first heard

of camilla, in the media, the third wheel in the relationship, if you put that against what we are seeing now, really she's come in extremely long way in terms of how the public knew her and indeed of child or royalfamily view her. knew her and indeed of child or royal family view her.— royal family view her. yes, absolutely. _ royal family view her. yes, absolutely. she _ royal family view her. yes, absolutely. she is - royal family view her. yes, absolutely. she is now- royal family view her. yes, absolutely. she is now at l royal family view her. yes, l absolutely. she is now at the royal family view her. yes, - absolutely. she is now at the heart of the establishment. she will be crowned alongside the king. and it will be the reign of king charles and queen camilla. it's a huge really bella tatian of the image of camilla back from —— rehabilitation. back from the 1990s. i think most people wouldn't accept or really don't care about the prospect that now we are going to have a crowned queen camilla. certainly for some people come will be a sense of this might�*ve been diana. that's something... diana is a story of decades ago, many young people don't even remember her. this is symbolic.

it significant and it does show the royalfamily, charles it significant and it does show the royal family, charles and the palace moving forward and again looking forward to celebrate camillus position now at the heart of the royal family. position now at the heart of the royal family-— position now at the heart of the royal family. position now at the heart of the ro alfamil . , ., ., royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her osition at royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her position at the _ royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her position at the heart _ royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her position at the heart of— royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her position at the heart of the _ royalfamily. yes. you mentioned her position at the heart of the royal- position at the heart of the royal family. what do you expect a reaction to be of the royal family? i know that actually, she is really popular with all the close members of the royal family. popular with all the close members of the royalfamily. she popular with all the close members of the royal family.— of the royalfamily. she really is. she's very _ of the royalfamily. she really is. she's very popular. _ of the royalfamily. she really is. she's very popular, she - of the royalfamily. she really is. she's very popular, she is - of the royalfamily. she really is. she's very popular, she is also i she's very popular, she is also popular with the press pack stop she somebody who enjoys a joke, she sort of lightens up charles on royal tors. they, the royalfamily i think see this coming. they will be delighted that charles has camilla ijy delighted that charles has camilla by his side. he clearly needs her, he leans upon herfor support, reassurance, she's been there at all the events who's been at since the

death of the late queen elizabeth ii. i think they will be glad broadly for charles and for camilla. in a white law, the historian who specialises in the history of the monarchy. brondby, former english player feels proud after the rugby union found claims of race abused at newcastle falcons were true. borrower has been speaking to ident rowen. 0n the pitch luther burrell was a powerful presence but last year the former england centre made an impact of a claiming he'd experienced racism in rugby. the rfq took over an investigation that had been launched by his final club newcastle falcons. in eight—month inquiry is now over. the rfq says its report finds on balance a probability of the allegations that made our true but there's

in rugby and has hailed his courage. a bbc investigation has exposed a uk life organisation as a cult. the group says it offers self—development, but people who've left say it's taken over their lives. people say they've been encouraged to hand over tens of thousands of pounds, separate from their families and have suffered extremeharassment. 0ne charity which helps people break free from abusive groups says it receives more calls about the organisation than any other in the uk. catrin nye has been working on the investigation. it's been 18 months since jeffrey leigh—jones left lighthouse international group, a life coaching company accused of being a cult. the 34—year—old sailor from portsmouth initially got involved with the organisation for business mentoring, but soon he was on the phone to his mentor at all hours

of the day. i thoroughly enjoy the conversations you and i have. at first i was motivated, i was inspired and i started working hard. these calls then became more frequent, longer, more intense, more about deeper parts of your life. in time, began to share traumatic things, things i found deeply painful. jeff was encouraged to become part of lighthouse full time. that meant being on group phone calls every day, often led by paul waugh, their charismatic leader. many people who don't know me very well think i'm a mystic because i'm able to sort of feel things no—one else can. all these calls were recorded, then painstakingly transcribed. they began to take overjeff�*s life. it got longer and longer as we went. so within six months, they're five to six hours. that's every day? every day. so i would listen in at times. the topics were getting more sinister — narcissists, toxic parents.

and then that's when i started worrying because i thought he's literally being brainwashed all day, every day. people who have been part of lighthouse have become isolated from family. some move into shared houses, and there's a financial cost too. in total, jeff paid £131,000 to the organisation. he sold his house to fund some of it. lighthouse says that any money paid is a self—investment. erin, anotherformer mentee, paid over £35,000. i took out an interest—free credit card and the idea came from my mentor. i started to feel as though i couldn't think anything unless my mentor said that it's a healthy thing to think. when people start to ask questions, things can turn nasty. i'm telling you now, you've got to stop doing it. it's not acceptable. treating us as if we're trying to do you over. lighthouse do not like criticism.

people who have spoken out have been reported to the police. lighthouse even contacted the employer of another critic to tell them she was unfit to do herjob. i consider lighthouse a very classic example of a cult. firstly, cults are started and led by a charismatic and authoritarian leader, but they're also bullies. the structure is steeply hierarchical, but it's heavily isolating. then you have this process of what i call brainwashing, or we could also call coercive control. if you do this to people, you can then exploit them. martin's daughter mel is still part of lighthouse. she no longer talks to herfamily. 0ne feels so powerless. you feel, "what can i do?" what's it like having a child in lighthouse? it's as if my daughter's died. because she's not my daughter that i know, is not there any more. i'm sorry.

one week ago, lighthouse international group was shut down as a business by a court over a lack of financial transparency. we put our allegations to their leader. how do you feel about the fact that so many people think you're running a cult? we're not running a cult, because they don't know what a cult is. if you ask them, "what's the difference with a cult and a community that supports people?" they wouldn't be able to tell you. why do you think so many people say it? because they're slurring us, they're smearing us, that's exactly what they do. are you going to carry on? yes, we are carrying on. thank you. we've had enough. no comment. catrin nye, bbc news. she has also released a podcast called a very british cult which you can download on bbc sounds. they can end up causing accidents and expensive repairs and if you report them it may be a while until you see them getting fixed. we're talking about potholes — the blight of many a road—user. now, one man in the uk is so fed up

that he's come up with a novel way to draw attention to them as richard daniel reports. andy conroy is a man on a mission. he knows the roads in brightlingsea like the back of his hand. in recent weeks he's resorted to humour to highlight the growing number of potholes. because of passing traffic, it's quick in, quick out. this one's called "daring motorcycle stunt goes badly wrong." it really all started when a friend, rolly worrell, uploaded on the local facebook pages some pictures of some plastic ducks in a pothole with a funny caption about a family enjoying the water facilities. and that kind of sparked my interest, and i thought i'd join in.

nessie was one of the first ones i did. i was rummaging through the grandchildren's toy box and found a brontosaurus. and i thought, well, if i push it down far enough into the pothole, it would just be like the old photographs of the loch ness monster. and so i did that. and then we told a story about how the waters of the lochs up in scotland were too cold, and nessie had come down here for a holiday because it was warmer. they make me laugh every day and they show that they need to be done because there's so many of them. but i like the story lines of them. you know, theyjust give me something to laugh about. it's all become a bit of a sensation on facebook, but will it make any difference? well, the conservative led essex county council told us... the council's labour group said...

while the lib dems told us... as for andy, well, today he heard there was a mermaid for sale in a local charity shop. it was too good an opportunity to miss. potholes, the bane of my existence to where i live. now time for a look at the weather with louise. for a look at the weather with louise. hello there. not quite as much sunshine around today. for many, it's been quite a cloudy day, and there's been some outbreaks of rain, some of it quite drizzly at times, a bit of a nuisance, really. and all that cloud and rain is spilling its way steadily eastwards. there's several weather fronts that have been invading from the far northwest, that's where the strongest of the winds have been as well today. the best of the sunshine across southeast england, but it's not lasting because the cloud arrives and the rain will push its way in. you can see a slightly darker blue.

there's more intensity to the rain in the back edge of that wet weather. so there will be some heavier bursts from time to time slowly clearing its way eastwards. so, through the night, quite a lot of cloud around, yes, some outbreaks of rain, slowly improving across western scotland and northern ireland, here, a few scattered showers, but we keep that cloud and rain first thing in the morning. so temperatures are going to hold up above freezing, generally around 6—9 celsius. so a mild start to thursday, but it could be a cloudy and a rather wet one out to the east, as that frontal system's still yet to clear. a little ridge of high pressure starts to build in behind, and that means that the start of the easter weekend is looking quite promising. but for thursday morning, then, grey, dull and damp along the east for a time, slowly brightening up from the west. but there will be a rash of showers developing with that northwesterly wind feeding them in on the exposed coast, some of them heavy, maybe the odd rumble of thunder as well from time to time, with top temperatures ranging from 9—11; celsius. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, that ridge of high pressure is set to build. it is going to last for the beginning of the easter weekend,

but weather fronts starting to push in from the west, threatening certainly by easter monday. so for easter weekend, i suspect we could be chasing some cloud amounts around. let's take a look in a little more detail. along the east coast on friday, an easterly feed mightjust produce a little more cloud on those exposed east coasts. sheltered west perhaps seeing the best of the sunshine, but a good deal of dry weather generally across the country, and, again, 10—14 celsius. as we move out of good friday into the start of the weekend, saturday looks dry and settled, and the same too, really for easter sunday, maybe a little bit of rain from time to time, but the rain certainly is expected to arrive as we move into easter monday. that's it. take care.

today at six...the husband of the former first minister of scotland is arrested as police investigate the scottish national party's finances. peter murrell, seen here with his wife nicola sturgeon, was chief executive of the party — he resigned last month. police carried out searches at the couple's house in glasgow, as well as at a number of other properties. also on the programme tonight... there should be more compensation for the relatives of thousands of people infected through contaminated nhs blood treatments, says the chairman of the public inquiry. convicted after the largest ever child sex abuse case investigated by west midlands police — in all 21 people have been found guilty. and no longer queen consort — the official invitation to the king's coronation names her as queen camilla.
