this is bbc news, the headlines: search teams race to find a tourist submersible that's gone missing with five people on board, on a dive to the wreck of the titanic. hunter biden, the son of the us president, agrees to plead guilty to federal charges. a bbc investigation has revealed, how people in the uk and the us — are paying for monkeys in south—east asia to be tortured on video. sport now and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. they have just gone off at teatime in the last day of the fourth test match between england and australia. play eventually got under way after a lengthy delay for rain.

australia started the day needing 174 runs to chase down a target of 281. england have got two wickets, stuart broad taking the wicket of scott boland before moeen ali removed danger man travis head forjust 16. usman khawaja remains for australia, though, he's past 50. the target is now less than a hundred for australia. that is the latest score for you at the moment. a story that's developing in the last few hours. french police are searching the headquarters of the organisers of the paris 2024 olympic games. officials say the raids are part of two corruption investigations. the bbc understands the probes are in connection with the awarding of contracts for building projects linked to the summer games. a spokesperson for the paris organising committee told the bbc the body is "co—operating fully with the investigators". steve clarke believes there is "more to come" from his scotland side as they target a best ever start to a qualification campaign when they play georgia on tuesday. clarke's side maintained their 100% start to euro 2024 qualifying with a 2—1 away win against norway on saturday, giving

them nine points. scotland have never won four in a row at the start of a campaign but can do so if they manage to beat their visitors at hampden park. elsewhere on tuesday, cristiano ronaldo is set to become the first men's player to reach 200 international caps when he leads portugal out against iceland in reykjavik. portugal have won three out of three to start their euros qualifying campaign and ronaldo will also be looking to add to his record 122 international goals. it is an achievement which reflects on his commitment on the way he looks after himself. he deserves it. it is so difficult to play games at international level, the competition for places is huge but he has been 20 years now for portuguese football, he has been an iconic player, so we are all very proud and very excited.

the former manchester united captain, gary neville, has told the bbc the current uncertainty over the ownership structure is "embarrassing." it was reported last week that united were negotiating exclusivity with qatari banker sheikh jassim bin hamad al thani. however, sources have told bbc sport, exclusivity had not been granted and talks were continuing with interested parties. neville says the lack of clarity "isn't good enough". i think it's embarrassing but it is what they have done. they drag everything out. i think always in their best interests and not in the best interests of the club. the idea of manchester united with its millions of fans around the world not being updated by their owners in respect of an ownership sale is quite frankly not good enough. but fitting with the glazers�* ownership and how they have operated. the grass court tennis season is here — the second day of the queen's club championships in london is under way.

world number two carlos alcaraz on court. he has been taken to a deciding set in his game. and five—time queen's winner andy murray due to be in action later. second seed holger rune has already booked his place in the second round — winning his first ever match on grass — the dane beat american maxime cressy in the opening match on tuesday, rune coming through in two tight sets, 7—6, 7—6. at the halle open in germany, world number nine jannik sinner is through to the second round, coming through a tight three—set match against experienced frenchman richard gasquet. sinner will play fellow italian lorenzo sonego next. and that's all the sport for now. you can keep up—to—date with everything on the bbc sport website. studio: what a last session that is going to be in the cricket. let's return to one of the days top stories. search teams are racing against time

to find a submersible vessel which has gone missing in the north atlantic, close to the wreck of the titanic, with five people on board. all contact with the submersible was lost on sunday, about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive. ships and planes are scouring the area around 640 kilometres, or 400 miles, off the coast of newfoundland in canada, and dropping sonar buoys to detect underwater activity. there is only enough airfor up to 96 hours. frank owen, who is a former director of the submarine escape and rescue project, told us earlier about the challenges that the search and rescue operation will face. it'd be massive because not only are they small, but they're also in the middle of a debris field, which is all around the wreck of the titanic. they know they're going to the titanic. when the ship sank, all sorts

of bits of the ship sank with it and not all in the same place. so, you've now got all sorts of things that might be rocks. they might be a submarine. it's like searching fora mine in a minefield. you don't know what's a rock or what's a mine. and it's the same sort of problem they're facing here. plenty more on that in the next hour. we are awaiting updates from the us and canadian coastguards. canada is sending more equipment and we know the french are also sending equipment. the search increases in size but no update in terms of any news about having found where the submersible actually is, whether on the surface or under the water near the surface or under the water near the sea bed. any updates, we will return to the story. a bbc investigation has revealed,

how people in the uk and the us are paying for monkeys in south—east asia to be tortured on video. several arrests have been made in connection with the abuse, and two men in indonesia have beenjailed. our correspondent rebecca henschkey went undercover to find out more. her film contains descriptions of torture which you'll find upsetting. these are just some of the thousands of videos we found on youtube of baby monkeys being abused. at the heart of this shocking torture ring was mini. the people who wanted to do something to mini were part of a global online community. they found each other on youtube and then formed private groups on the messaging app telegram. here, they brainstormed and crowdfunded videos of baby monkeys being tortured. we spent months undercover, trying to identify the people involved, and track down one

of the ringleaders in the us. i'm the man. you want to see monkeys get messed up, i can bring it to you, but everything comes at a price. you ran one of the biggest groups in this community. correct. i'm not proud of that. did you think about the monkeys, the pain? not at that point. all i thought about at that point was money. he's one of 25 people the us authorities are investigating. posing as a potential buyer, we hunted down mini's torturer in indonesia. when you hit them, do you... do you like? we tipped off the indonesian police, who moved in to arrest him. mini, and another monkey we're calling milo, were rescued. in the uk, wejoined a police raid

to arrest one of the women accused of being involved in this community. i think she's going to have a little bit of a shock this morning when she gets a knock on the door, to be fair. why baby monkeys? she was one of three women arrested under the obscene publications act. what was going through your mind? so these will go into a locker. activists want to strengthen the law to force social media companies to remove animal abuse. the online safety bill does not include animal torture as a specific area of concern, and i think anyone would be astonished that it's not included. there are still many active monkey—torture groups on social media. youtube turned down an interview request, but said there is no place for animal abuse on their platform. telegram also declined to talk to us, but said it's committed to protecting user privacy.

now in a sanctuary in indonesia, mini has a good chance of being released back into the wild. you're beautiful. sorry for all you've been through. rebecca henschke, bbc news. that full investigation is available on the bbc iplayer. incredible reporting. saudi arabia is set to host two million pilgrims for the annual hajj this year. the islamic pilgrimage has faced restrictions for three years due to the covid—i9 pandemic, but for neighbouring yemen it's not just the pandemic that's been a barrierfor travel. yasmin khatun dewan has more details. the pilgrims leaving the yemeni capital to perform the annual hajj in mecca have now arrived in saudi arabia. the flight carrying almost

300 passengers was the first since 2016 when war broke out in yemen and a saudi led military coalition has been controlling yemeni �*s airspace since the iran allied houthi movement took over and ousted the yemeni government in 2014. yemeni airways came to an understanding with saudi arabia to operate for flights during the hajj season. translation: flights during the ha" season. tuna/womb flights during the ha" season. translation: when the airport reo ened translation: when the airport reapened we _ translation: when the airport reopened we felt _ translation: when the airport reopened we felt like _ translation: when the airport reopened we felt like we - translation: when the airport reopened we felt like we were . translation: when the airport | reopened we felt like we were part of the world, people across the world need and benefit from air travel, but we have been deprived of it for several years and we now feel relieved and praise be to god always. relieved and praise be to god alwa s. . ., , ., ., always. travelling for pilgrimage to the airort always. travelling for pilgrimage to the airport directly _ always. travelling for pilgrimage to the airport directly to _ always. travelling for pilgrimage to the airport directly to each - always. travelling for pilgrimage to the airport directly to each adder. the airport directly to each adder is a right— the airport directly to each adder is a right of all citizens but unfortunately because of the political problems and divisions between — political problems and divisions between arabs, the airport was shut -- directly— between arabs, the airport was shut -- directly to— between arabs, the airport was shut —— directly to chador. for between arabs, the airport was shut -- directly to chador.— -- directly to chador. for the pilgrims _ -- directly to chador. for the pilgrims making _ -- directly to chador. for the pilgrims making their- -- directly to chador. for the - pilgrims making their pilgrimage,

earlier i spoke to janet moi, head of market analysis at rbc brewin dolphin. and asked how much of a surprise this move was? this is a surprise announcement, but actually not too surprising in the grand scheme of things, because alibaba has been facing a number of challenges. it has now split up into six units because of antitrust concerns. and also china, economic growth is slowing. alibaba is very hard to see that kind of double digit year on year growth going forward. so actually, in the last three quarters there is just single digit, and five of this division is loss making. so i think a new leadership is likely to generate new ideas, to give newer perspective. and also these two leaders actually bring back from the veteran when they were actually working very closely with the founder, jack ma. so we'll see if there is going to be a turnaround from this leadership.

you mentioned the six different units, how likely do you think it is we may see job losses and possibly even separate stock market listings? so, the cloud division, which is the second biggest unit, it is loss making and there were reports that actually it is going to cut about 7% of its workforce. and the fact that these units are likely to go to initial public offerings, usually it means that investors will be scrutinising the financials. so usually it may be a good move for these companies to actually streamline their businesses, increase efficiency, which may meanjob losses. but then, actually, there is another official report coming from alibaba that, actually, they are still broadly hiring. they actually need to hire 15,000 people in the coming future. so the message is a bit mixed, but i think there could be job losses coming. in the us, the electric vehicle maker rivian has announced it's agreed to adopt tesla's charging standard.

it would give customers access to the biggest charging network in the us. it follows a similar move by general motors and ford in the past few weeks, adding momentum to tesla's bid to set the industry standard. let's speak now to our north america business correspondent samira hussain. another step then towards 'one charging system' for all drivers? it seems that way. it definitely benefits tesla because it will be able to profit from selling all these other car companies access to its power stations. tesla is the biggest provider of powering stations for electric vehicles in the us, dominating the landscape by 60%. this is also good news for rivian, and by allowing the company access to all of these tesla charging stations, it reduces the worries amongst consumers they may end up being stranded somewhere and

not being able to charge their vehicle. so noil not only will they be able to access these charging stations, they are going to make the supercharging capabilities that you see on the teslas and the way the tesla vehicles are charged, this will also be included with tate to make it a seamless interaction between —— also be included with rivian to make it a seamless interaction between tesla and rivian. . ., ., , now, there have been plenty of headlines, and warnings, about the threat from artificial intelligence. some warn that if not properly managed 'ai' could lead to the extinction of mankind. and when it comes to defence, the idea that powerful weapons could turn against their human masters is a major concern. but how likely is it? theo leggett is at the paris airshow, where many of the world's biggest defence contractors are gathered. he met up with the president of lockheed martin,

michael williamson, and asked whether all those concerns are really justified? yeah, i think the concern is justified. but i would make the argument that you have to think, you know, ai is one of those things that creates this big bucket that everyone, you know, puts their thoughts into it. and i would make the argument that we've been using ai for years. it's really the discussion about, are you turning over decisions to an autonomous programme, or are you really building in and using ai where it's appropriate? so there are algorithms today that will help you to sort through reams of information very quickly. that's different than a decision being made by a leader, a soldier, an airman on how to use a platform or use a capability. but where does that enhancement stop? are you going to get to a stage where, for example,

a decision on whether to attack a particular target is taken by a computer rather than a human being? are you going to get to a stage where, for example, look, just because there's technologies that are out there, doesn't necessarily mean that it's appropriate in every use case. what i want to spend time on, and what we have great talent working, is what is the range of those capabilities? how can we demonstrate those to the war fighters? and then find out how they want us to apply those to our systems. and again, that's a wide range of capabilities. but your basic premise i absolutely agree with, is that you are going to continue to see the growth of ai, and you're going to continue to see businesses like ours look to meet our customers' needs by looking at how to employ them. but for my audience, if i can put this a little bit facetiously, what they're interested in is whether or not you're going to be building terminator. i mean, what safeguards are going to be in place to prevent that kind of scenario? yeah, it's less of a concern than you would think. you know, the analogy i would use

is the one they say about a hammer — if the only tool you have in your hand is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. i would make the argument that al is a tool. we're going to look at that capability and see where it best fits in the systems and platforms that we design and we develop. but we're also going to work with our customer on the most practical use of those capabilities. i don't personally believe that there's a situation where you're going to see any government, any army, any service, hand over complete control of these capabilities to a robot, to a machine, to an ai capability. it is a tool to be used in the appropriate place. that is all the business headlines from me. you are watching bbc news.

breaking news now from the covid inquiry because the former chief medical officer dame sally davies has given evidence in the last little while and very interesting it is. she says she instigated an exercise modelling the impact of the middle east respiratory syndrome mers for years before the covid pandemic and when asked whether the recommendations from that exercise called alice was put into place, she said she would have expected them to be but it appears they were not. she was also asked about another virus exercise in 2016 which was a government simulation of a flu outbreak to test the uk's pandemic readiness which involved officials from central and local government, nhs organisations, prisons and local emergency response plan is, and the report was compiled and distributed.

when asked by the barrister if she was aware of any majority of the 22 recommendations were completed, dame sally said that she was not. important sections of evidence from dame sally davies, the former chief medical officer, about a previous exercise modelling and whether or not the recommendations that flowed out of those were actually put into practice. the un refugee agency says the number of people who have fled sudan is around 500,000. the figures have been released to mark the world refugee day. the head of the unhcr has been visiting kenya where he has met refugees and held talks with the president there to talk about resettlement plans. my colleague has

more. people are forced to fleet homes in order to stay safe from persecution, war or natural disaster and these are the pictures from sudan where thousands of people had to flee their homes after the recent disaster that erupted in the country. thousands of them had to flee via neighbouring countries like egypt. we can have a look at some numbers. there are currently 108.4 million refugees around the world. out of that number, 43.3 million of them are children and under the age of 18 and this is a picture of children from syria who had to flee their homes for safety during the recent conflict. syria has 6.8 million people, the biggest number of refugees around the world. after that it of refugees around the world. after thatitis of refugees around the world. after that it is ukraine with 5.7 million people being refugees. this is because of the invasion by russia according to the un the crisis has

caused the biggest movement of people in europe since the second world war —— and according to the un. and then after that it is afghanistan. many people had to feed their homes because of the takeover of the country by the taliban —— flee their homes. countries that host the biggest numbers of refugee rvs, turkey hosted biggest number with most of the people from syria —— are these. after that it is iran hosting many afghan refugees, and colombia hosted biggest number refugees in the region. after that it is germany and pakistan. to date, the 20th ofjune, designated by the un as the world refugee day to raise awareness about the situation of refugees and how they live and survive. studio: we can now turn to

asia. scientists have warned that glaciers in the himalayas are melting faster than ever before as a result of global warming. a study found the ice shrank 60% faster in the last five years than in the previous decade. if the trend continues the glaciers could lose three quarters of their volume by the end of the century, threatening hundreds of millions of people with floods and water shortages. the warning comes as hundreds of people have died from a heatwave in northern india with red alerts issued in the states of uttar pradesh and bihar. we heard earlier from a migration expert who explained how the rapid decline of the glaciers will affect the local mountain populations.- the glaciers will affect the local mountain populations. people in the mountain populations. people in the mountain regions _ mountain populations. people in the mountain regions will— mountain populations. people in the mountain regions will be _ mountain populations. people in the mountain regions will be affected i mountain populations. people in the mountain regions will be affected byj mountain regions will be affected by the loss of falling ice, mostly because it is agriculture and

so small, only about six metres in length, and five people on board. that is what it looks like inside. the search continues for that submersible. we will talk to experts and those who know those people on board and that is all coming up here on the programme in the next little while. now the weather. hello. good afternoon. well, there's plenty of dry and indeed sunny weather to come in the forecast as we head through the rest of the week for most of us. but it's been rather unsettled so far today. heavy rain in central southern england earlier this morning and some thunderstorms breaking out. lovely weather watcher picture here from north uist in the western isles. there could be some more heavy thundery showers breaking out for many of us as we head through the rest of today. there are localised weather warnings in place but also some sunny spells too and it will still be feeling warm. now, earlier on we saw this feature just move its way northwards, currently across north eastern areas of england and northeastern scotland

where it's likely to linger on for much of the rest of the day, eventually pulling out into the north sea. watch out for some thunderstorms across western scotland and northern ireland. also possibly some heavy thundery showers across south west england and south wales forming in lines. but further east it's largely dry. temperatures here peaking in the mid 20s in celsius. now, overnight tonight, the thunderstorms are likely to rumble on, i think, across western scotland and northern ireland, but for most they will fade away where we see them to leave us with a dry night feeling slightly fresher and a little more comfortable for sleeping, but still warm into tomorrow morning with some areas of mist, especially in the south. so, on wednesday, then, there'll still be some showers forming in lines, perhaps for south west england and for wales. and across much of scotland we could see some more thunderstorms break out, frequent lightning across eastern scotland, maybe some thunderstorms across northern ireland, too. temperatures coming up slightly towards the east. it should stay largely dry and it will still feel warm here, 23 to 25 degrees.

and then high pressure starts to build in from the southwest as we head through the middle of the week, quite firmly established by the time we get to the weekend. but on thursday, there'll still be a few showers around and the area's more stable so the showers shouldn't be as heavy as they've been in recent days. and there'll be some sunny spells, too. temperatures for most will peak in the low 20s in celsius, starting to rise, but maybe 26 or 27 degrees celsius in south east england and east anglia. that high pressure becomes quite firmly established across the south of the uk as we head through the weekend. temperatures will be rising, the humidity levels, too. weather fronts pushing into the north and the west. live from london. this is bbc news. live from london. this is bbc news. to find a submersible
