frightened that she would be injected with a substance that would paralyse her. she was subjected to sexual threats and they were all shown pictures of the dead body of the director of the persian wildlife heritage foundation and told that the same would happen to them and their colleagues. actually, earlier this year on the fifth anniversary of their arrest, she wrote about what was going on and what had happened to her and the injustice of it and she said, how they had threatened that her husband would be next. she was interrogated in a room with blood all over it. that she heard someone whispering behind her that she was going to be hung and she also linked what happened to them to what's happening now in iran and what happened after the arrest of someone who was not wearing her veil properly according to the

authorities and then she died in custody. her death in custody sparked protests. there have been a huge number of arrests and executions since then. i have the letter here, injanuary executions since then. i have the letter here, in january this executions since then. i have the letter here, injanuary this came out, i want to speak up and write for my country and fellow women and citizens. forthe for my country and fellow women and citizens. for the younger generations and those wounded. i am as much a spy as the dear young people of this land are murderers. i want them to know that i, like them, were subjected to all sorts of strategies. they are making a link between the injustices they've suffered and the injustice that many iranians are still suffering and have suffered since the protests began. the case of the environmentalists has caused huge international concern. the programme has called for their release and it is egregious even by the dismal standard of human rights in iran where people do not have the right to a fair trial.— to a fair trial. indeed, it is

particularly _ to a fair trial. indeed, it is particularly confusing - to a fair trial. indeed, it is particularly confusing and | to a fair trial. indeed, it is - particularly confusing and difficult really to understand at all as to why they are being held if they are environmentalists. what the premises. environmentalists. what the premises-— environmentalists. what the remises. . 3 ~ premises. that's right. i think nobody knows. _ premises. that's right. i think nobody knows. what - premises. that's right. i think nobody knows. what is - premises. that's right. i think nobody knows. what is clear. premises. that's right. i think| nobody knows. what is clear is premises. that's right. i think- nobody knows. what is clear is that there is no evidence against them and that was confirmed if you want ljy and that was confirmed if you want by a committee of government ministers. but, we were told by her and others that they worked in cooperation with local people. one other factor may be that some of them have connections to the west. the director of the group had canadian citizenship, another had british citizenship and also american citizenship and another used to work for the un environment programme. could it be that it's their western connections? they were arrested by iran's revolutionary guards who effectively operate as a state within a state and it could be that they hold a particular grudge.

they thought they could leveraged the arrest of these people and, just to mention, one person's family had hoped he would be released when two others returned home and the hope is now that the americans may be able to make some deal that would release him. that is probably the hope for the rest of the environmentalists, that if the founder of the group is no longer held then it would be hard to keep holding them. that is the hope, but otherwise, they've served five years and the sentences that they've had imposed on them ranged from six years to ten years. thank ou ve from six years to ten years. thank you very much _ from six years to ten years. thank you very much indeed. _ from six years to ten years. thank you very much indeed. i _ from six years to ten years. thank you very much indeed. i wanted i from six years to ten years. thank| you very much indeed. i wanted to bring you some breaking news from sweden regarding an assault in which several people are reported to have been injured. we have a statement here from the swedish police, what it says was that a chord was received to the police today in the

last hour, in fact. several police patrols are in the vicinity at the scene of the crime. local reports suggest this took place at a school but we have no confirmation of that. the assault, the crime classification, at the moment is attempted murder with three people injured who have been taken to hospital. we will keep you up—to—date, of course, with that incident and you can see that police statement there on the screen. a call received to the police regarding a suspected serious crime. several calls were received and as we have read, several people, three people we think, have been taken to hospital. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. last summer, in hot bone dry conditions, the wildfires spread. the fire service in dorset

and wiltshire were kept very busy by call—outs, like this one on the isle of purbeck. the number of wildfires they dealt with went up by half and they worry this year they may be at least as busy again. the recent dry spell and warm conditions mean dorset and wiltshire fire service are currently on amber alert, the second highest warning level. the conditions are absolutely rife at the moment and they will be going into the summer months as well. james cox is also concerned about the prospects of another scorching summer. so much so he and otherfarmers are now in talks with the fire service with a possible solution. finding an easy way to allow fire crews to use the water stored on farms. it all comes down to finding a universal fitting that will work atanyfarm. you're live with bbc news.

the bbc has found evidence of potential war crimes being lost by social media companies using ai potential war crimes being lost by social media companies using al to automatically delete videos with graphic content. platforms claim such videos can say online if it is in the public interest but the bbc�*s disinformation team suggests the opposite. the report contains distressing images and descriptions of violence. since the russian invasion of ukraine, igor, a former traveljournalist, has been documenting attacks on civilians. like this one on a road outside kiev. men, women and children were shot and burned by russian soldiers whilst trying to flee occupation. igor posted the videos on facebook and instagram, but they were immediately taken down. translation: russians - were saying those were fakes. they didn't touch civilians. they fought only with the ukrainian army. it was really important

not to only film this evidence, but to spread it. but my post was banned immediately. major social media companies have long been criticised for allowing easy access to distressing content. now, with the help of artificial intelligence they are increasingly cracking down swiftly to delete it. but by deleting it, evidence of war crimes can be lost. we are living in an extraordinary period where millions of people are capturing important evidence. whether or not the social media companies publish it or take it down, you can't afford to lose this material. while platforms say that graphic content from warzones can stay online if it is in the public interest, we saw the opposite. we uploaded some of igor�*s footage to see if the platforms removed it. instagram took down three orfour videos from ukraine within a minute. youtube age restricted the same three, but 10 minutes later removed them all. and then our appeal to restore the videos was rejected. and this is happening all over the world.

international archiving organisations say hundreds of thousands of videos from conflicts in ukraine, syria, yemen and sudan have also been removed from platforms. losing even one video is concerning for open source investigators. proving that war crimes have been committed is incredibly hard, so they need to view as many angles as possible. it's almost like piecing. together a jigsaw puzzle. some angles like this one can help us understand i the direction of travel - of the missile for example. in some of the other videos,| we have blurred the footage, but for my colleagues it's - important to understand how a person was wounded - and what caused their death. let's ta ke let's take you live to a news conference held by dorset police. hello. i am an assistant chief

constable rachel farrell of dorset police. just after a:30pm yesterday, we received a call from colleagues in the ambulance service requesting assistance on the beach of bournemouth pier. the initial reports received by the emergency services were that a number of people were in trouble in the sea. a total of ten people were rescued from the water. a17—year—old boy from the water. a17—year—old boy from southampton and a 12—year—old girl from buckinghamshire were taken to hospital where, very sadly, they later died. my thoughts and those of all the emergency services are very much with their loved ones at this horrendous time and we are all doing all we can to support their families. the other eight people

involved were treated by ambulance at the scene. i would sincerely like to thank members of the public who helped people in trouble in the water. i am also very grateful to the wider beach—goers who really quickly moved from the beach and allowed emergency services to do their work. this incident sparked a multi—agency response from a range of emergency services including the ambulance service, her majesty's coastguard, rnli, the fire service, pcp coastguard, rnli, the fire service, pcp council and dorset police. all these emergency responders came together to provide a really swift and well coordinated response and did everything they could to save lives. i thank all of those

responders for their professionalism and their compassion in the face of this tragedy. an investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident has been launched. we are working alongside marine accident investigation branch and the maritime and coastguard agency in accordance with established protocols. following our initial inquiries, a man aged in his a0s, who was on the water at the time, has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. as we have a person in custody, you will know there is only limited information i can give about the investigation. however, to avoid further speculation, the investigation. however, to avoid furtherspeculation, i the investigation. however, to avoid further speculation, i am able to tell you that it's clear that yesterday, a number of people already in the water got into

difficulty and we are investigating the circumstances or events that caused that to happen. early investigation indicates that there was no physical contact between a vessel and any of the swimmers at the time of the incident. i can also confirm there is no suggestion of peoplejumping from the confirm there is no suggestion of people jumping from the pier orjet being involved. further information will be released as the investigation progresses. as you can imagine, we are at the early stages of our investigation and we would ask people not to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident, to both protect our inquiries and out of respect for the victims and their families. we are aware of a number of videos circulating on social media and we would urge people to refrain from doing this. we know the beach was very busy when the incident

occurred. i am today urging anyone who saw what happened or has any information that may assist to please come forward. if anyone has relevant phone footage, then they can contact dorset police through our major incident public portal where they can upload the images and we will share the links on social media. this operation is named 0peration marble, so please share the images with the police rather than on social media. we will have our local neighbourhood officers on patrol over the coming days, alongside colleagues from our local council. if you have any information about the incident or any concerns, please do approach them. i appreciate this incident will have an impact on all our communities as well as the very many people who enjoy visiting bournemouth and our

beautiful beaches. we work closely all year round with our partner agencies to ensure we have robust plans in place so people can enjoy what our county has to offer safely. we are all truly devastated that two young people have lost their lives. thank you. i am afraid i can't answer further questions about the investigation. you will obviously be aware that the investigation is live, we have someone in custody and i cannot answer further questions about the arrest investigation or those circumstances. because we have somebody in custody, a live investigation, it would be completely inappropriate for us to speculate on the details any further. we are trying to share what information we can as transparency

as we can to quell rumours and speculation. what we would ask the public to do is please bear with us. there is an awful lot of work going on between partners and police to swiftly investigate the circumstances, gather evidence and give the public the answers. we understand that, we understand the need but we need to be able to do our work with our partners. it is a complex investigation and that needs to continue. as i have said, i am answering no further questions in respect of the investigation. that would be inappropriate at this stage. the other eight people were treated at the scene, nobody else was taken to hospital. i am answering no further questions regarding the investigation. iloathed

not related. they were great spirited members of the public who have tried to assist those in difficulty. this was, as you see today, groups of people just out enjoying the water. as i've said, i cannot speculate on the investigation but we are very much working with expert partners to try and understand what happened to cause this tragedy. good afternoon. i am andy cole, the assistant_ good afternoon. i am andy cole, the assistant chief fire officer. firstly, _ assistant chief fire officer. firstly, i— assistant chief fire officer. firstly, i would just like to express— firstly, i would just like to express the condolences of torture and wiltshire fire and rescue to the family— and wiltshire fire and rescue to the family and — and wiltshire fire and rescue to the family and friends of all those involved — family and friends of all those involved in this tragic incident. yesterday— involved in this tragic incident. yesterday afternoon, crews from westbourne, spring and paul fire stations— westbourne, spring and paul fire stations in— westbourne, spring and paul fire stations in the area responded to this multi—agency incident and supported other agencies in attempts
