8:30 pm
lam i am ben thompson. this is bbc news. - i am ben thompson. this is bbc news. monkey _ hello. i am ben thompson. this is bbc news. monkey torture exposed. a bbc news. monkey torture exposed. a bbc investigation uncovered a network of people paying for animals to be abused. we will have more on that story in a moment. first. it is time for sport. thank you very much. we begin with football. it's almost half time in tuesday's european championship qualifiers. in group a, scotland are looking to maintain their perfect start with a win at home to georgia. they took the lead after only 6 minutes through callum mcgregor scoring, but the match was halted 3 minutes later because the pitch is heavily waterlogged. there are going to be some pitch inspections to see if they can
8:31 pm
continue, and potentially, if they cannot, that game may be played tomorrow. in the same group, norway, who lost to scotland... on saturday are playing cyprus, and leading 1—0 with a goal from ole salbakken. and it's another landmark occasion for cristiano ronaldo who's become the first man to win 200 caps for his country. portugal are playing iceland in reykjavik. it is currently 0—0. australia's cricketers have beaten england in a thrilling finish to the 1st test at edgbaston in birmingham. the tourists began the final day on 107 for 3, chasing 281 to win. england looked on course to win when ben stokes bowled usman khawaja for 65 and joe root held a stunning catch off his own bowling to see off alex carey. but a 9th wicket stand of 55 between pat cummins and nathan lyon steered australia to victory by 2 wickets. it's their narrowest margin of victory in an ashes test in terms of wickets since 1907.
8:32 pm
at any i've ever felt like this after a test match. there were so many emotions in it. for the last 45 minutes i bottled that we have lost that match. seven wickets down, needed 70 runs to get. i know how hard it was to score runs out there. the ball got so soft. 70 runs felt like a long way away. the way that paddy played at the end, alex getting some good runs in there, too. the sheer emotion is going into five days in this test match make it the most special i have played in, probably. the most speciall have played in, robabl . ~ . ., ., , probably. what a game. the number one that i've — probably. what a game. the number one that i've been _ probably. what a game. the number one that i've been a _ probably. what a game. the number one that i've been a part. _ one that i've been a part. devastating to be on the end of that _ devastating to be on the end of that. going down to the wire, whether— that. going down to the wire, whether sort of emotions throughout the whole _ whether sort of emotions throughout the whole day, you know, it was in the whole day, you know, it was in the balance, — the whole day, you know, it was in the balance, and then, obviously, towards _ the balance, and then, obviously, towards the end there, eight down, 50 to _ towards the end there, eight down, 50 to win, _ towards the end there, eight down, 50 to win, you are like, just one wicket— 50 to win, you are like, just one wicket away... you can never count
8:33 pm
out australia — wicket away... you can never count out australia. pat dug in there. and he has _ out australia. pat dug in there. and he has gone — out australia. pat dug in there. and he has gone over the line. tennis and the top seed carlos alcaraz is through to the 2nd round of the queen's championship in london. he had to come from a set down to beat the frenchman arthur rinderknech who qualified as a lucky loser. after winning the 2nd set 7—5, alcaraz took the decider on a tie break to seal his place in the last 16. he'll face jiri lehecka of the czech republic. alcaraz will regain the world number one spot if he wins the tournament. it was difficult for me at the beginning to adapt my tennis, my game, to the me, it is tough, playing here. but of course, i enjoyed playing on the grass, playing here at queens, that there is a tournament i really wanted to play. and of course, i have had a
8:34 pm
really good performance for me in the first match on grass. the number 2 seed holger rune is also through to the 2nd round. the dane, who's already reached three finals so far this year, beat maxime cressy of the usa, to claim his first ever victory on grass. rune won in in straight sets but they both went to tie breaks. he plays great britain's ryan peniston next. say up—to—date on all the latest tennis results and the day's sports news on the bbc sport website. studio: thank you very much. see you later. ina in a shocking exclusive story, the bbc have found that people in the uk and us are paying for people in southeast asia to pay to watch monkeys tortured on video. two men in indonesia have beenjailed. our correspondent went undercover to
8:35 pm
find out more. warning: this video contains descriptions of torture that you will 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. that is mini. what do you want, many will do it. 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.
8:36 pm
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. you want to see the mini? yeah. 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.
8:37 pm
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.
8:38 pm
sorry for all you've been through. rebecca henschke, bbc news. we speak now to a... and also a senior campaigns manager at peta. they have both been working on similar things to do with animal cruelty. thank you forjoining us, a difficult watch, that. i know that you have been watching videos like this for awhile. i surprised by what you saw in that investigation? unfortunately, no. as you have mentioned, our coalition, which is made up of 19 animal protection organisations, we are all working on this issue. we have come across these types of content again and again, and we actively carry out research looking for links, looking for these groups online, who are carrying out this extreme torture... and other forms of abuse. we are
8:39 pm
actually in conversation with social media platforms, some of them are major ones, to like this contend with them and say, how is this being allowed on our platform? a lot of the content that these platforms... a lot of these platforms do have rules about violence against our animals, but there is this content and their platforms. we have been in conversations with the owners of facebook, instagram, and whatsapp about the videos that are currently live on facebook. since december 2022, and they have removed a lot of those videos, but in terms of concrete action, around what they are going to do to stop these groups setting up new pages, showing new videos, we unfortunately are not getting the updates that we need. so, we know this is out there, we are really glad that this investigation and this documentary is here, to hopefully put pressure
8:40 pm
on these platforms, to do something about it. because, they are literally providing a platform for abuses to share this content, to coordinate creating further content and torturing more animals, and making money from it, unfortunately. i want to come onto that element into a moment. this is a specific group of people at the centre of this investigation, but it is by no means an isolated case? hasan know, and i mean, it is tragic this form of animal abuse, done for paying customers is not an isolated incident. just recently, peta in asia found a woman in egypt killing animals and shockingly cruel ways, standing on kittens to crush them and other things for sexual fetish videos which were sold online for buyers around the world. at our behest, authorities are arresting the perpetrator. in this case, it is notjust
8:41 pm
the perpetrator. in this case, it is not just the the perpetrator. in this case, it is notjust the people carrying out the abuse, but the people who are watching it online. it is beyond depraved. i wanted to ask that, kate, how do you stop this? it has to be a double pronged approach, surely? are people watching the videos, and stopping the trade in people who are buying them? the?t videos, and stopping the trade in people who are buying them? they are --eretuatina people who are buying them? they are perpetuating the _ people who are buying them? they are perpetuating the abuse. _ people who are buying them? they are perpetuating the abuse. anyone - perpetuating the abuse. anyone involved — perpetuating the abuse. anyone involved in monkey torture must be found _ involved in monkey torture must be found and _ involved in monkey torture must be found and apprehended and had the book thrown at them. these people were in— book thrown at them. these people were in the — book thrown at them. these people were in the uk and the us, it is not 'ust were in the uk and the us, it is not just those _ were in the uk and the us, it is not just those in— were in the uk and the us, it is not just those in indonesia. they have to he _ just those in indonesia. they have to be prosecuted to the fullest extent — to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. anyone who paid for it _ extent of the law. anyone who paid for it is_ extent of the law. anyone who paid for it is in— extent of the law. anyone who paid for it is in of— extent of the law. anyone who paid for it is in of such violent videos and images _ for it is in of such violent videos and images has to be prosecuted. you touched on and images has to be prosecuted. touched on the and images has to be prosecuted. m. touched on the monetisation of this, the people making off of the the people making money off of the back of these horrendous videos... there is a problem with the way social media and online videos work, isn't it? the more they are talked about, the more they are shared, the
8:42 pm
higher in the rankings a go, and therefore more people view them, and therefore more people view them, and therefore the people creating them get paid more. therefore the people creating them get paid more-— therefore the people creating them get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many pepple _ get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many pepple are — get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many people are aware _ get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many people are aware that - get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many people are aware that if- get paid more. absolutely. i'm sure many people are aware that if you l many people are aware that if you are a content creator on social media, you can make money through advertising on your content. and so, the more engagement on your videos, the more engagement on your videos, the more engagement on your videos, the more views that you have, you can have adverts appear on your content, and you get paid for it, as does the platform, of course. and, we see this on this cruelty content, as well. this is why we advise the public, even if you want a comment on that video, you want to watch it to call out the animal cruelty you are watching, please do not, please report it to the platform. any engagement you are giving is feeding into the algorithm and is going to lead to lead to increased more people seeing it, and could lead to these content creators getting more money from the advertising on here. we also find many of these craters
8:43 pm
may show animals that look injured or sick, may show animals that look injured orsick, or may show animals that look injured or sick, or maybe even on the third of death. they found themselves pretending that they are rescuing these animals are bringing them back to life. in reality, they are the people who have put these animals in the situation, but they ask for donations from well—meaning animal loving members of the public you can get drawn into this. this is another dark element of this content, not just those online who are paying for the content to be creative. the roblem the content to be creative. the problem with _ the content to be creative. the problem with so _ the content to be creative. the problem with so many illegal activities online is working out who is responsible for policing it. it happens across borders involves different law enforcement is from different law enforcement is from different countries. how do you focus your efforts on targeting the right people who can actually put a stop to this? we right people who can actually put a step to this?— stop to this? we work with authorities _ stop to this? we work with authorities across - stop to this? we work with authorities across the - stop to this? we work with i authorities across the world, stop to this? we work with - authorities across the world, so obviously. _ authorities across the world, so obviously, in the us, the fbi, in the uk, — obviously, in the us, the fbi, in the uk, the _ obviously, in the us, the fbi, in the uk, the police, and i guess it is a network— the uk, the police, and i guess it is a network of law enforcement.

8:46 pm
andrew tate, his brother tristan, and two female associates formally charged with crimes, including rape and human trafficking. the indictment filed at the bucharest court this morning, the result of six months of investigation by romania's organised crime unit. prosecutors say all four defendants formed an organised group to commit human trafficking, notjust within romania, but within the us and the uk. the charges involve seven alleged victims, who the indictment says were forced to produce pornographic material after being recruited by the tate brothers with false promises of love and marriage. the charges also include rape, illegally accessing a computer system, and violence against one alleged victim. it would be an overstatement to say we are happy, but we do welcome it, because this means we have the opportunity to submit evidence, we have the opportunity to build a defence. we are looking forward to clearing the brothers' names
8:47 pm
as soon as possible. the arrest of andrew tate and his brother here in december shone a spotlight on his online influence around the world. teachers, police and rights organisations in the uk have all warned about the impact of his views on women and their relationship to men. earlier this month, we interviewed andrew tate as prosecutors were wrapping up their investigation here, and asked him about similar claims of exploitation being made against him by women in the uk, including one woman who spoke anonymously to the bbc under the name sophie. if any female on the planet has a problem with me, i strongly recommend her to go to the police and try to pursue me for criminal charges. i'm actually such a nice person that i've never had anyone come... the bbc has spoken to somebody since your arrest who says exactly those things, that with you, it's all manipulation, there's an ulterior motive... is this sophie? is this "sophie"? this sophie, which the bbc has invented, which there is no face of, nobody knows who she is... the bbc did not invent her. of course not.
8:48 pm
and she... because you never invent anything. and she has not filed criminal charges against me. what are we talking about here? what is she saying? we're talking about emotional manipulation into the sex industry for yourfinancial gain. absolute garbage. tomorrow, andrew tate and his brother will leave their compound in bucharest to receive instructions on the indictment against them. the two conflicting narratives around andrew tate, masculine icon or dangerous misogynist, are about to be tested in court. mortgage rates are rising again with a typical 2 year fixed rate now over 6%. and despite growing calls for assistance, the chancelorjeremy hunt has ruled out any support or relief schemes saying it would only drive inflation higher. and the situation isn't any better for those renting. on average, 28 % of tenants' pretax income now goes to their landlord. that's more of their wages going on rent than at
8:49 pm
any other point in the past decade. rental prices have risen particularly fast in london, edinburgh and glasgow, but as you can see across the uk the burden on renters is rising rapidly, as our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. so what i'm taking you to see now is a two bedroomed unfurnished terrace property, very popular because of its distance to the city centre. here in york, like so many towns and cities, rents are skyrocketing. before sort of covid, it would have been 950 per calendar month. we're expecting it to go on the market, £1100, something like that. it's not the landlords profiteering from high rents. the costs to the landlords have increased quite significantly, and those costs are being passed on. the trouble is, wages haven't grown to match. so that's why rent is eating up more of people's incomes than at any point in more than a decade. you can see the decorators are busy in here freshening it up before it goes back on to the market.
8:50 pm
karen knows this place will be snapped up in a flash. there are so many renters looking for a home. this is the situation that hannah finds herself in especially when you have a job lined up especially when you have a job lined up they need to start. is especially when you have a 'ob lined up they need to start._ up they need to start. is beginning a ost as up they need to start. is beginning a post as a — up they need to start. is beginning a post as a teacher— up they need to start. is beginning a post as a teacher in _ up they need to start. is beginning a post as a teacher in september, | up they need to start. is beginning l a post as a teacher in september, by finding a home has not been straightforward. it finding a home has not been straightforward.— finding a home has not been straightforward. it was not the cheapest. _ straightforward. it was not the cheapest, but _ straightforward. it was not the cheapest, but you _ straightforward. it was not the cheapest, but you have - straightforward. it was not the cheapest, but you have to - straightforward. it was not the - cheapest, but you have to compromise a bit. properties will be on the market for a matter of hours. you have to make that call even if you are on a placement or working full time and that can be difficult, i think. ., , ., ., ., the rent think. hammer is not alone. the rent seems astronomical. _ think. hammer is not alone. the rent seems astronomical. compared - think. hammer is not alone. the rent seems astronomical. compared to i think. hammer is not alone. the rent i seems astronomical. compared to what we were _ seems astronomical. compared to what we were paying five years ago. it is an essential. it should not be most of your— an essential. it should not be most of your wages go on that one thing that you _ of your wages go on that one thing that you absolutely have to have in order— that you absolutely have to have in order to _ that you absolutely have to have in order to live. | that you absolutely have to have in order to live-— order to live. i don't think on my ware as order to live. i don't think on my wage as a _ order to live. i don't think on my wage as a young _ order to live. i don't think on my wage as a young person, - order to live. i don't think on my wage as a young person, i - order to live. i don't think on my wage as a young person, i can i order to live. i don't think on my - wage as a young person, i can afford

8:52 pm
6% for the first time in a long time. anyone older watching this will say, i rememberthe time. anyone older watching this will say, i remember the 80s and 90s when mortgage rates were 11, i2%. what are we worried about? nay simply, the fact that when you look at the levels of mortgages compared to peoples income, they are higher by far than they were in the 19905. that means a proportionately lower interest rate 5till means they will build looking more of their income towards their mortgage payments. that will mean to sharp increases in mortgage costs for those coming to the end of an existing two—year five year fix. the end of an existing two—year five yearfix. which, two years the end of an existing two—year five year fix. which, two years and five years ago was not that expensive, and it will mean, for people looking to get on the housing market, they are properly going to be less willing to borrow as much and less able to borrow as much, so they'll be less activity in the housing and probably further falls in house prices. this is about affordability, not the rate per say for certain.
8:53 pm
house prices have risen pretty quickly over the last few decades, is this correct and that the markets, that many say, is long overdue. ~ ., , ., overdue. we need to put that in context. this _ overdue. we need to put that in context. this is _ overdue. we need to put that in context. this is not _ overdue. we need to put that in context. this is not the - overdue. we need to put that in context. this is not the 1990s, | context. this is not the 19905, affordability is not stretched to the same degree. we have a progressive effect in the market, because people have unfixed. equally, we have very stringent stress testing affordability, when people took on their mortgage. i'm not saying it will not be uncomfortable for a lot of people, but it should not be unmanageable for the majority. and, in that respect, we also know that for those who are going to find it much more difficult to make their household finances stack up, whilst the chancellor has ruled out direct support of mortgage homeowners, he has today met the lenders to see what they can do, so i think you will see measures go perhaps interest only for a limited period whilst we are in this period of

8:56 pm
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 northeastern areas of england and northeastern scotland too, 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 southwest england and south wales forming in lines. but further east, it's largely dry — temperatures here peaking in the mid 205 in celsius. now, overnight tonight, the thunderstorms are likely to rumble on, i think, across western scotland and northern ireland,
8:57 pm
but for most, they will fade away where we see them to leave us with a dry night, feeling slightly fresher. 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 southwest 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—25 celsius. 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. 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 205 in celsius, starting to rise, but maybe 26—27 celsius in southeast england
8:58 pm
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.
