:00:08. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:11. > :00:13.Stories tonight from Canada, Bangladesh and North Korea.

:00:14. > :00:16.We'll start with the top story in the UK.

:00:17. > :00:18.David Cameron has ruffled a few feathers with his comments

:00:19. > :00:33.We have got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries

:00:34. > :00:35.coming to Britain. Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most

:00:36. > :00:39.The Nigerian government says it's shocked and embarrassed.

:00:40. > :00:41.We'll hear from our Diplomatic correspondent.

:00:42. > :00:44.Also Bangladesh has executed the leader of the country's largest

:00:45. > :00:48.We'll hear from BBC Bengali in Dhaka.

:00:49. > :00:51.A BBC investigation has discovered that over 1700 unidentified people

:00:52. > :00:59.have been buried in unmarked graves, after dying while trying to cross

:01:00. > :01:01.We've the BBC's latest report from North Korea.

:01:02. > :01:05.The ruling party's congress has finished with this parade.

:01:06. > :01:11.And the last ever match at West Ham's Boleyn Ground

:01:12. > :01:13.is happening right now before they move to the Olympic

:01:14. > :01:40.We were update you on the game. Last time I checked it was 1-0 to West

:01:41. > :01:45.We'll go to Dhaka to hear about the execution of the leader

:01:46. > :01:52.of the country's largest Islamist party.

:01:53. > :02:01.That dates back to France in 1971. -- crimes.

:02:02. > :02:03.Also get an update on the wildfires in Canada.

:02:04. > :02:06.The better knews is that the city at the heart of them isn't

:02:07. > :02:17.Later this week the British government will be hosting a major

:02:18. > :02:19.international conference aimed at tackling corruption.

:02:20. > :02:23.And this clip has emerged of David Cameron talking

:02:24. > :02:49.to the Queen about some of the countries attending.

:02:50. > :02:52.Just to explain who you can see in the clip.

:02:53. > :02:55.As well as the Prime Minister and the Queen, this

:02:56. > :02:57.is the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow,

:02:58. > :03:01.the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Chris Grayling,

:03:02. > :03:10.So what the truth to Cameron's assertions?

:03:11. > :03:15.Every year Transparency International ranks

:03:16. > :03:18.countries on corruption, this is the latest table.

:03:19. > :03:21.Afghanistan is third worst behind North Korea and Somalia.

:03:22. > :03:28.Joint 136th of the 168 countries on the list.

:03:29. > :03:31.The BBC spoke to the head of Transparency International

:03:32. > :03:37.who said the UK had to do more as well.

:03:38. > :03:41.It is true that Nigeria and Afghanistan have had major

:03:42. > :03:45.corruption problems, and they continue to have them.

:03:46. > :03:49.At the same time, we have leaders in those countries that

:03:50. > :03:53.have sent strong signals that they want to change that.

:03:54. > :03:58.And let's remember, this is also important for the UK,

:03:59. > :04:03.because the UK continues to provide a safe haven

:04:04. > :04:05.for corrupt money, both here and in its

:04:06. > :04:22.A couple of pictures that are relevant. This is how much the

:04:23. > :04:27.British Government is giving to Nigeria, ?241 million a year, $347

:04:28. > :04:38.million, the third highest recipient of aid from the UK. Afghanistan gets

:04:39. > :04:42.?145 million a year, $209 million. A Nigerian government spokesperson has

:04:43. > :04:48.spoken to the BBC and they are saying they are deeply shocked and

:04:49. > :04:51.embarrassed by Mr Cameron's remarks. They say the British Prime Minister

:04:52. > :04:57.may have been referring to previous governments. It may have been, but

:04:58. > :04:59.it did not look that way. Here are the thoughts of James

:05:00. > :05:13.Landale. He clearly did not intend it to be filmed, but what he says is

:05:14. > :05:17.not untrue. Afghanistan and Nigeria have a corruption problem. Both

:05:18. > :05:21.countries acknowledge that and their leaders acknowledge that. That is

:05:22. > :05:24.why they have come to the summit this week. They have written about

:05:25. > :05:30.this problem in a group of essays that are going to be published. What

:05:31. > :05:33.the Prime Minister said was not factually inaccurate. However,

:05:34. > :05:40.sometimes telling the truth in such blunt terms as this can be terribly

:05:41. > :05:45.undiplomatic and the Afghanistan 's and the Nigerians will be miffed.

:05:46. > :05:49.Some people might be surprised to hear such a frank conversation with

:05:50. > :05:54.the Queen. The Prime Minister and the Queen had their audience in

:05:55. > :05:58.private every week. This was a reception to mark the Queen's

:05:59. > :06:04.birthday, so it was in public in as much as there was a camera there and

:06:05. > :06:08.David Cameron acknowledged there was a camera present. But when the Prime

:06:09. > :06:12.Minister and the Queen get-together they talk frankly about all the

:06:13. > :06:17.issues. The Prime Minister sees her every week and the Queen has the

:06:18. > :06:21.right to consult, to ask questions and to give warnings in private.

:06:22. > :06:28.That is a constitutional right and duty. The Prime Minister is probably

:06:29. > :06:33.used to being as frank as that with the Queen, but perhaps not always in

:06:34. > :06:38.public. Given the challenges the Panama papers leak has raised, I am

:06:39. > :06:41.guessing there has to be more frank talk from David Cameron and other

:06:42. > :06:49.political leaders when they all come together. The big test of the summit

:06:50. > :06:54.is will it be a talking shop? Will they go away and say we are tackling

:06:55. > :06:58.corruption, and will there be something specific? What I am

:06:59. > :07:03.expecting is some kind of agreement over more transparency. This is what

:07:04. > :07:08.people see as the solution to long-term corruption. For example,

:07:09. > :07:11.following a property that is owed in the United Kingdom by foreign

:07:12. > :07:20.companies, shell companies, who hide their ultimate owners. There is a

:07:21. > :07:21.high bar for this summit. You can get full coverage of that summit as

:07:22. > :07:25.it plays out later on this week. The leader of Bangladesh's largest

:07:26. > :07:28.Islamist party has been The offences committed

:07:29. > :07:32.by Mohteoor Rahman Nizami all date back to 1971

:07:33. > :07:55.and Bangladesh's Liberation Mohteoor Rahman was executed in

:07:56. > :08:00.Dakar's Central prison. His family members met him for the last time a

:08:01. > :08:04.few hours before the execution. He will be buried in his village home

:08:05. > :08:11.in northern Bangladesh. The 71-year-old was convicted of rape,

:08:12. > :08:15.murder and genocide during the War of independence in 1971. He was

:08:16. > :08:22.accused of setting up a militia force which helped the Pakistani

:08:23. > :08:27.army to identify and kill pro-liberation activists and leading

:08:28. > :08:32.intellectuals. Different groups were supporting the war crimes trial and

:08:33. > :08:37.victims families have supported the execution. They think Justice has

:08:38. > :08:40.been done after 45 years of independence. But the supporters of

:08:41. > :08:45.Mohteoor Rahman think the war crimes trial was initiated to destroy the

:08:46. > :08:52.Bangladesh. They say they never Bangladesh. They say they never

:08:53. > :08:56.committed war crimes. The supporters of the victims' families have long

:08:57. > :09:02.been demanding justice. The Prime Minister set up the war crimes

:09:03. > :09:08.tribunal in 2010 to try the war criminals in Bangladesh.

:09:09. > :09:14.Let's return to the wildfires in Canada and better news.

:09:15. > :09:21.Alberta province has been hit hardest and the city of

:09:22. > :09:25.But authorities now think 90% of its buildings have survived,

:09:26. > :09:28.that's considerably more than had been expected.

:09:29. > :09:31.But the scale of the fire is still huge.

:09:32. > :09:37.This is an aerial shot above the city.

:09:38. > :09:45.All of the grey smoke is evidence of fires. But this picture was taken at

:09:46. > :09:50.a higher altitude and you can see the extent of the fires, not just on

:09:51. > :09:53.one side of the city, but dotted around in all directions.

:09:54. > :09:57.This image is from Fort McMurray and is taken

:09:58. > :10:03.with a camera that shows healthy forest in bright red.

:10:04. > :10:18.The fire is over 1,600 square kilometres.

:10:19. > :10:24.And if you want to see how big that is, take a look at this.

:10:25. > :10:30.Look at New York and London. The whole of Manhattan Island and

:10:31. > :10:36.Brooklyn and the city would be taken up by an area of that size. If you

:10:37. > :10:37.are looking at London, perhaps the entire city is covered in an area of

:10:38. > :10:40.entire city is covered in an area of that size.

:10:41. > :10:43.With this better news from Fort McMurray I wanted

:10:44. > :10:45.to know what prospect there is of its residents

:10:46. > :10:48.We got in touch with Evan Dyer from CBC News.

:10:49. > :11:00.We are not expecting anyone back in Fort McMurray for a little while,

:11:01. > :11:05.although the damage was less than had been feared. The critical

:11:06. > :11:10.infrastructure is mostly still there, including the hospital and

:11:11. > :11:18.the water treatment plant. There are a lot of issues in town. The fires

:11:19. > :11:25.continue to pop up. In fact, we have seen water being poured from where I

:11:26. > :11:36.am right now, flares firing up because of timbers, lots of little

:11:37. > :11:40.fires continue to pop up. Within the city there is danger from exposed

:11:41. > :11:45.electrical wires, from toxic substances that might be lying

:11:46. > :11:51.around. So until they can get a better sense of where those are in

:11:52. > :11:55.clean them up, they do not want people to come back to Fort

:11:56. > :12:00.McMurray. We are told it is a question of weeks, maybe months,

:12:01. > :12:04.certainly not days. In the meantime where either resident setting up

:12:05. > :12:11.their lives? Are they scattered or either one or two places that they

:12:12. > :12:16.can call home for the short term? There are ten big evacuation centres

:12:17. > :12:19.spread around Alberta. Often people went to family and friends. Only

:12:20. > :12:26.half who have registered as evacuees with the Red Cross. Many have gone

:12:27. > :12:34.as far away as their home provinces, thousands of miles away in other

:12:35. > :12:38.parts of Canada. Some work at a settlement 250 miles south of here

:12:39. > :12:43.and we found a large group of oil workers living in a camp ground.

:12:44. > :12:46.People are spreading all over the province and the country and living

:12:47. > :12:53.in different kinds of conditions. Some of them are pretty good and

:12:54. > :12:56.some are not so good. We saw 300 beds set up in a hockey pitch

:12:57. > :13:05.somewhere near here. Facebook has had to come out today

:13:06. > :13:09.and deny claims that it suppresses stories which promote

:13:10. > :13:27.conservative political opinions. Police in Manchester have issued an

:13:28. > :13:32.apology following a terrorism training exercise overnight. There

:13:33. > :13:38.was criticism after the fake suicide bomber yelled Ord is great in Arabic

:13:39. > :13:41.before detonating an explosive. The Mayor and the crime commission

:13:42. > :13:48.called it ill judged, unnecessary and unacceptable. It was

:13:49. > :13:53.unacceptable. We are not trying to stop the Muslims, we are trying to

:13:54. > :14:01.stop the terrorists from whatever background they come from, most

:14:02. > :14:04.people understand that. It is people within the Muslim community who are

:14:05. > :14:10.the best defenders, who are the ones who will make sure we have the

:14:11. > :14:15.robust response. This sort of stigmatisation is unnecessary and is

:14:16. > :14:16.not acceptable. That message has gone out very clearly from Greater

:14:17. > :14:33.Manchester Police this morning. We are alive in the BBC newsroom.

:14:34. > :14:40.The Nigerian government is saying it is shocked and embarrassed at David

:14:41. > :14:44.Cameron's remarks to Queen Elizabeth which described Nigeria is

:14:45. > :14:46.fantastically corrupt. Some of the main stories from BBC World Service.

:14:47. > :14:48.Some of the main stories from BBC World Service.

:14:49. > :14:50.The political situation in Brazil becomes every more confusing.

:14:51. > :14:54.Yesterday I told you about the lower house annulling a vote

:14:55. > :14:55.on whether to impeach President Roussef.

:14:56. > :14:58.Then we heard the Senate, the upper house, would ignore that

:14:59. > :15:02.Well today the annulment was revoked - or annulled if you like.

:15:03. > :15:05.Which means the vote in the senate goes on without the lower

:15:06. > :15:09.If the vote is for impeachment, the President could be suspended

:15:10. > :15:15.But I've long given up trying to predict what is going to happen.

:15:16. > :15:18.President Obama will visit Hiroshima in Japan later this month.

:15:19. > :15:20.It will be the first visit from a serving president

:15:21. > :15:23.since the Americans dropped a nuclear bomb

:15:24. > :15:32.An Australian mother who gave birth to quintuplets in January has

:15:33. > :15:38.released a photo shoot of her babies.

:15:39. > :15:41.The chances of conceiving quintuplets naturally

:15:42. > :15:50.More of those pictures on the BBC News App.

:15:51. > :15:53.Facebook has had to come out today and deny claims that it suppresses

:15:54. > :15:56.stories which promote conservative political opinions.

:15:57. > :15:59.The original story comes from tech site Gizmodo.

:16:00. > :16:04.The claim is that Facebook staff chose to bury articles

:16:05. > :16:10.The article tells us, quote, depending on who was on shift,

:16:11. > :16:13.things would be blacklisted or trending.

:16:14. > :16:16.Popular conservative topics wouldn't be trending because either

:16:17. > :16:20.the curator didn't recognize the news topic or it was like

:16:21. > :16:38.Ted Cruz was the man who got closest to stopping Donald Trump winning the

:16:39. > :16:39.presidential nomination. One person was so worried about this and they

:16:40. > :16:43.kept a log. Facebook says in response that

:16:44. > :16:45.Gizmodo had "found no evidence that the anonymous

:16:46. > :16:55.allegations are true". Dave Lee is live with us from

:16:56. > :17:00.Facebook's headquarters. We are talking about the trending stories

:17:01. > :17:06.here. What does Facebook tell us about how those trends are

:17:07. > :17:11.calculated? Facebook says the trending topic section is a mixture

:17:12. > :17:16.of algorithm, of things unnaturally trending because people are talking

:17:17. > :17:20.about them on Facebook, but also human curators. That is where the

:17:21. > :17:25.controversy lies. Those curators pick and choose some of what goes

:17:26. > :17:30.into the trending topics column. The allegation is there was human Bias

:17:31. > :17:35.in that process and conservative viewpoints were being overlooked and

:17:36. > :17:39.not included, were progressive viewpoints, such as stories about

:17:40. > :17:46.democratic issues or perhaps the black lives matter movement surfaced

:17:47. > :17:51.when perhaps they were not trending. It is a mixture of two factors and

:17:52. > :17:54.that is what is under scrutiny. It is hard to prove there is one way or

:17:55. > :18:01.another without being inside Facebook. Well, yes, and that will

:18:02. > :18:06.be the next step. There have been calls for Facebook to be more

:18:07. > :18:09.transparent about how this trending topics feature works. It is not

:18:10. > :18:15.something many people in the political scene want to see as a

:18:16. > :18:19.secret any more. In fact the Senate commerce committee, like the media

:18:20. > :18:22.Select Committee in the UK, have written a letter asking them to be

:18:23. > :18:28.briefed on how that trending topics function works. They want to see a

:18:29. > :18:33.log of stories that have been omitted or added by the human

:18:34. > :18:40.curators. This will not go away for Facebook. They have responded fairly

:18:41. > :18:45.robustly here in California, deny it and saying it was untrue. But that

:18:46. > :18:49.will not be enough, people will expect Facebook to be a lot more

:18:50. > :18:55.open about how the trending topics works and some of the other areas on

:18:56. > :19:01.the site as well. Comeback to us if you get more on that. Disney is set

:19:02. > :19:07.to release its results in the next few minutes and all the indications

:19:08. > :19:13.are they will be through the roof. Analysts say they expect a 14% rise

:19:14. > :19:22.in profits thanks to a catalogue of franchise films like Star Wars.

:19:23. > :19:26.Disney has ESPN as well. Samir Hussein is live from New York. I

:19:27. > :19:31.guess things do not get much better than this for Disney. You listed a

:19:32. > :19:41.few of the blockbusters already, but even some more recently have been

:19:42. > :19:46.released like Jungle Book. Star Wars was a big deal for Disney. When you

:19:47. > :19:50.look at the cable part of its operations that is the really big

:19:51. > :19:54.money maker, despite the fact the blockbusters have a lot of name

:19:55. > :19:58.recognition. The cable company really makes a lot of money for

:19:59. > :20:01.Disney and there has been a lot of concern with investors with regards

:20:02. > :20:06.to how many people are subscribing to how many people are subscribing

:20:07. > :20:11.to traditional cable television. We have seen that people have been

:20:12. > :20:16.dropping off, or not subscribing to cable at all. That is something

:20:17. > :20:19.investors will be looking at in these earnings. Although they will

:20:20. > :20:24.be quite stellar when they are released, it should be any moment

:20:25. > :20:30.now, there will be a lot of investors looking at what Disney is

:20:31. > :20:36.going to do to stem the tide and look at those leaving cable

:20:37. > :20:40.altogether. With films and ESPN and TV networks these are global

:20:41. > :20:47.operations and they generate money globally. Is cable just a US

:20:48. > :20:52.business? It counts for a giant part of how much Disney makes. So it

:20:53. > :20:56.still is something of great concern when we are talking about US

:20:57. > :21:00.investors for an American company that reports in the United States.

:21:01. > :21:06.One other thing, the international aspect of Disney, we see it is

:21:07. > :21:11.opening another one of its theme parks. They are opening another one

:21:12. > :21:16.in China. That is not even open yet and it is generating a lot of bars.

:21:17. > :21:23.People are already flocking to the resort and investors will be looking

:21:24. > :21:29.on an update on that. I did not know so much about Disney's

:21:30. > :21:37.we have been reporting from North Korea throughout the four-day

:21:38. > :21:43.congress by the ruling party. It all ended in a parade. John Sudworth was

:21:44. > :21:46.there. Adoration, loyalty, few societies in

:21:47. > :21:51.history have built a cult of leadership quite like this. For the

:21:52. > :21:56.past four years North Korea has been in the throes of a tricky power

:21:57. > :22:01.transition. This week's party congress followed by these

:22:02. > :22:07.extraordinary scenes leader, Kim Jong-Un's way of showing that he has

:22:08. > :22:11.consolidated his grip on power. This is politics as religious devotion,

:22:12. > :22:17.the very definition of mass mobilisation and totalitarianism in

:22:18. > :22:22.a fledgling nuclear state. Many outside observers thought he could

:22:23. > :22:29.not do it. Barely 30 years old at the time of his father's death, the

:22:30. > :22:33.risks loomed large. Factional infighting, crisis, or even

:22:34. > :22:40.collapse. All of this is meant to send a message to the outside world.

:22:41. > :22:44.Wherever Kim Jong-Un leads, these people will follow. But this is a

:22:45. > :22:48.choreographed expression of loyalty from a government that still

:22:49. > :22:58.struggles to feed its own people. No one knows what uncertainties may

:22:59. > :23:03.still lie beneath the surface. Next, a brilliant report from Nigeria. It

:23:04. > :23:09.is about a British actress who has landed her first part in a Nigerian

:23:10. > :23:16.film. Claire Eden's success is in part due to the fact that she can

:23:17. > :23:21.speak pidgin English. She is a former air hostess now

:23:22. > :23:30.gracing the red carpet. A first-time British actress with a starring

:23:31. > :23:39.role. Claire Eden has a secret weapon up her sleeve. She speaks

:23:40. > :23:45.fluent pidgin English. What does she make of her first role? I am so

:23:46. > :23:52.excited, like I could burst right now. I cannot explain how excited I

:23:53. > :23:56.am. It means the world to me. How did you get involved? With pidgin

:23:57. > :24:01.English I was surprising myself about how much I could pick up from

:24:02. > :24:08.watching something. That is where the spark came, realising it was not

:24:09. > :24:15.that different to what I am used to. She is starring in a romantic comedy

:24:16. > :24:20.filmed by one of their best-known directors. He says he found Claire

:24:21. > :24:28.performing on Facebook and her language skills filled him with joy.

:24:29. > :24:35.It is a big motivation for us. Most people here do not even feel proud
