:00:07. > :00:15.Stories coming up from Venezuela, Sri Lanka and Washington.

:00:16. > :00:20.One of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls in

:00:21. > :00:23.Nigeria has been rescued - but she says other girls have died.

:00:24. > :00:35.There are protests right now in Venezuela.

:00:36. > :00:38.Our correspondences there. For now, the police and the army are very

:00:39. > :00:41.much on the Government's side, despite the opposition.

:00:42. > :00:43.The BBC gets extraordinary evidence of crime and disorder inside British

:00:44. > :00:46.prisons as the Government promises the most radical overhaul

:00:47. > :00:51.We'll take a look at more of these amazing pictures of a meteor over

:00:52. > :01:03.It is burning up as it enters the Earth 's atmosphere. Lots of

:01:04. > :01:08.different videos of that happening. As lots of you were doing last

:01:09. > :01:18.night, if you want to get into her chair with any stories, the #BBCOS

:01:19. > :01:26.hashtag gets all your stories straight to us.

:01:27. > :01:32.This photo has been released showing is one of the Chibok girls who was

:01:33. > :01:33.rescued in Nigeria. We've just got this picture

:01:34. > :01:37.of her with her baby, but she says She is one of a huge group kidnapped

:01:38. > :01:42.by Boko Haram Islamists It's long been suspected the girls

:01:43. > :01:50.may be in the Sambisa forest - and that's where this

:01:51. > :01:54.girl was found. We have talked about that many times

:01:55. > :01:57.on the programme. 276 girls were kidnapped,

:01:58. > :01:59.some have already escaped They escaped in the hours following

:02:00. > :02:11.their cap. This is a still from a video of some

:02:12. > :02:18.of them that emerged in April. This is the last side we have heard

:02:19. > :02:21.of some of the girls. Once again today we're seeing

:02:22. > :02:23.the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag being heavily used -

:02:24. > :02:26.just as it was when this story Michelle Obama and millions of

:02:27. > :02:31.others used it. Here's Chris Ewokor

:02:32. > :02:33.in the BBC's newsroom in Abuja on the circumstances of this

:02:34. > :02:45.rescue. This group of civilian vigilante is

:02:46. > :02:51.were on the fringes of the forest, that is where they discovered this

:02:52. > :02:55.girl with a child. She was surrounded by some other suspected

:02:56. > :02:58.Boko Haram militants. There was a fight, but eventually they rescued

:02:59. > :03:03.the girl with her child and one of the Boko Haram suspect 's, who later

:03:04. > :03:09.claimed to be her husband. Both were taken to a military base in it to be

:03:10. > :03:18.close to Chibok. As we speak they are under way -- on the way to a

:03:19. > :03:23.place where the girl and her child will be medically attended to, while

:03:24. > :03:27.the young man, said to be a Boko Haram commander, will be screened.

:03:28. > :03:32.The news has brought a lot of jolly, members of the group of

:03:33. > :03:36.#BringBackOurGirls have been very overjoyed and have issued a state to

:03:37. > :03:43.welcome the development and say they are still waiting on the government

:03:44. > :03:46.for more details. The news is bringing a lot of pressure to bear

:03:47. > :03:52.on the government, which has been accused of not doing enough to

:03:53. > :03:56.rescue the girls. With this girl alive, there is a feeling that the

:03:57. > :04:00.government will come under serious pressure to try to rescue the

:04:01. > :04:03.remaining ones. As Chris said, those campaigning for

:04:04. > :04:07.the girls to be rescued a hoping that this could be a defining moment

:04:08. > :04:11.in their efforts to get them home. Let's hear from one of the leaders

:04:12. > :04:17.of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign in New York.

:04:18. > :04:21.I'm absolutely elated. I mean, this is amazing, the best news I have

:04:22. > :04:27.heard, probably, for the untied a year. In the campaign, I think there

:04:28. > :04:32.has just been a renewed sense of hope and joy, Khalil, I just

:04:33. > :04:37.literally got off the phone with one of the mothers whose girls are still

:04:38. > :04:41.missing, and the hope is that this is seriously just a window of

:04:42. > :04:46.opportunity to begin to get these girls, who have been in abduction

:04:47. > :04:50.for 765 days, back. Everyone is hopeful that the Nigerian government

:04:51. > :04:55.will do what is absolutely needed at this moment. This is the time to

:04:56. > :04:59.take the necessary action, to get the rest of these girls and

:05:00. > :05:04.thousands of other people who have been ordered and out of captivity.

:05:05. > :05:06.Next to Venezuela. These are desperate

:05:07. > :05:07.times in Venezuela. If you've looked at coverage today

:05:08. > :05:09.the word collapse That's because economic

:05:10. > :05:12.and political collapse both The President's called a state

:05:13. > :05:15.of emergency, and protestors Here are some of the numbers

:05:16. > :05:20.behind the story. Venezuela's economy shrank 6% last

:05:21. > :05:37.year and this year's They are both creating pressure.

:05:38. > :05:39.Inflation anywhere near that it makes it impossible for earnings to

:05:40. > :05:41.keep up with the cost of everything. Now Venezuela is heavily

:05:42. > :05:43.dependent on oil. That one industry is responsible

:05:44. > :05:46.for 95% of its export revenue. And with oil prices very low,

:05:47. > :05:49.that's creating some major issues Worth saying, though -

:05:50. > :06:17.that dip in oil income would exist In the middle of the steep economic

:06:18. > :06:19.vertical crisis in Venezuela, the divisions between a socialist

:06:20. > :06:24.government and right-wing opposition are being exposed every day. We have

:06:25. > :06:30.anti-government supporters on both sides of the police line, calling

:06:31. > :06:34.for a referendum against the president, Nicolas Maduro row. They

:06:35. > :06:39.say there is enough popular support for the socialist president to be

:06:40. > :06:44.removed from office. The government says it is part of an orchestrated

:06:45. > :06:49.plan by right-wing opposition in Venezuela, and by foreign powers,

:06:50. > :06:52.including benighted States, to derail Venezuela's socialist

:06:53. > :07:03.resolution -- including benighted States. -- the United States.

:07:04. > :07:08.Heavily armed riot police are trying to stop the protesters. For now, the

:07:09. > :07:14.police and army are very much on the side of the government despite the

:07:15. > :07:18.strength of the opposition. As you can see, tear gas, smoke

:07:19. > :07:26.grenades, lots of heavy ordnance being used. Venezuela, Caracas, is

:07:27. > :07:30.incredibly tense at the moment. If you look at the language in the

:07:31. > :07:32.international coverage of the story, you pick up on some of the points

:07:33. > :07:35.about the severity of the crisis. New York Times describes

:07:36. > :07:37.a downward spiral. The Guardian highlighting

:07:38. > :07:40.blackouts and murder. And Business Insider focuses

:07:41. > :07:48.on the failing hospitals. Well, on that subject,

:07:49. > :07:50.a BBC team has been been given Many of the causes are long term

:07:51. > :08:13.problems, as Yolanda Valery of BBC I suppose it is a combination of

:08:14. > :08:16.accumulated factors. Now you have this long-standing problem with

:08:17. > :08:22.shortages in food. If you add to that mix electric cuts and water

:08:23. > :08:25.shortages, you have a high pressurised situation where people

:08:26. > :08:31.are just fed up with it all over the country. If you read through social

:08:32. > :08:34.media platforms, you will find people complaining that even if you

:08:35. > :08:39.had the money, you would go to a supermarket and not find any food,

:08:40. > :08:45.that is not getting better. Why does the president take a state of

:08:46. > :08:52.emergency will help? His view is that it is economic warfare, as he

:08:53. > :08:55.calls it, waged by the right-wing organisations. He thinks he needs

:08:56. > :08:59.his state of emergency is to control the economic warfare and the

:09:00. > :09:04.situation streets getting hit on by the minute. Some viewers will be

:09:05. > :09:08.wondering how Venezuela has ended up in the situation, it has been

:09:09. > :09:14.incredibly lucky with oil reserves, a huge amount of money created by

:09:15. > :09:19.them, yet we are seeing this. There always two side to the story. From

:09:20. > :09:24.the opposition point of view, the only explanation is mismanagement by

:09:25. > :09:29.the government and an economic model that is a failure. That is how the

:09:30. > :09:34.opposition sees it. The government thinks it has been

:09:35. > :09:37.the victim of a war waged by the right-wing and even the Empire, as

:09:38. > :09:42.they call it, meaning the United States. They think the model has

:09:43. > :09:46.failed because it does not have the support it was meant to be having,

:09:47. > :09:52.internally and externally. There always two side to the story.

:09:53. > :10:00.We are lucky to have Yolanda and her colleagues from BBC Monday oh, which

:10:01. > :10:02.is our Spanish language source. -- BBC Mundo.

:10:03. > :10:05.The British government is promising the biggest shake-up since Victorian

:10:06. > :10:07.times of the prison system in England and Wales.

:10:08. > :10:10.Its plan for radical reforms was at the heart of today's

:10:11. > :10:12.ceremonial Queen's Speech to Parliament which sets out

:10:13. > :10:15.One of our reporters was in Wandsworth prison and this is what

:10:16. > :10:16.he found. The BBC has been given unprecedented

:10:17. > :10:22.access inside a British jail. Over seven days we saw

:10:23. > :10:27.the fear and violence. If you can't defend yourself,

:10:28. > :10:35.you will become a victim. And the prison officers pushed

:10:36. > :10:46.to the very edge. I think I'm probably the most

:10:47. > :10:49.stressed I've been in 24 years A prisoner has refused

:10:50. > :11:06.to go back to his cell. 20 years ago the inmate

:11:07. > :11:09.in the middle of all of this We can't identify him,

:11:10. > :11:17.but he told us he was trapped I've had warfare

:11:18. > :11:22.with politics in jail. I've got sliced down the side

:11:23. > :11:24.of the face. There have been murders in here,

:11:25. > :11:34.left, right and centre. I said you are putting me

:11:35. > :11:37.in a predicament where I have no alternative but to utilise

:11:38. > :11:38.violence for my safety. They are so short staffed here,

:11:39. > :11:41.this place can't run, it's unsafe. Next B wing and the smell

:11:42. > :11:54.of cannabis is everywhere. It's overwhelming,

:11:55. > :12:00.especially up here. And then we see it -

:12:01. > :12:03.a group smoking below us, How do you feel about people smoking

:12:04. > :12:15.cannabis down there? Where can you get

:12:16. > :12:21.cannabis from? If you want some cannabis

:12:22. > :12:24.I can get you some. You can get some

:12:25. > :12:26.right now? Obviously it is not good,

:12:27. > :12:34.it defeats everything we can You don't have to look far to find

:12:35. > :12:44.drugs in Wandsworth. Take Ashley, who has

:12:45. > :12:47.only just arrived. He says all drugs are

:12:48. > :12:51.available at all times. All I've got to do is go down

:12:52. > :12:59.to the twos, the threes, These wraps are worth ?8,000.

:13:00. > :13:15.brewed in cells. And the mobile phones too,

:13:16. > :13:20.all smuggled into Wandsworth. Smartphone, several hundred quid

:13:21. > :13:25.they go for retail price. This prisoner asked us not

:13:26. > :13:35.to show his face. They charge you ?500 a parcel,

:13:36. > :13:47.the size of, say, three tennis balls full of drugs,

:13:48. > :13:54.phones, whatever you want. The BBC was invited here

:13:55. > :13:59.to hear these stories, to see the pressure from a Governor

:14:00. > :14:07.who's demanding change. The one thing that I absolutely

:14:08. > :14:10.cannot stand, one of the things I want to do with reform is to think

:14:11. > :14:14.very carefully about how do we deal with those issues of corruption

:14:15. > :14:17.and what do we do to tackle That will deal with some

:14:18. > :14:21.of the issues you've highlighted But how long will this

:14:22. > :14:33.prison reform take? The pressure inside is building now,

:14:34. > :14:36.and officers are getting hurt. At the moment he's been

:14:37. > :14:38.the victim of an assault. My wife worries that I'm

:14:39. > :14:41.not going to come home. If she could, she would have me out

:14:42. > :14:47.of the job. Wandsworth has been

:14:48. > :14:49.Andy Topping's life. I believe my staff want

:14:50. > :14:56.to make a difference. What's happening

:14:57. > :15:01.to your mental health? I don't think people care

:15:02. > :15:03.about what's happening What is happening

:15:04. > :15:09.to your mental health? I think I'm probably the most

:15:10. > :15:12.stressed I've been in If I'm like my colleagues

:15:13. > :15:21.I will retire and I will die early. This prison revolution,

:15:22. > :15:44.a promise to fix broken jails, If you would like to show other

:15:45. > :15:46.people that report, it is available online through the BBC News app and

:15:47. > :15:47.the BBC News website. Those plans to reform

:15:48. > :15:49.prison were announced in the Queen's Speech -

:15:50. > :15:51.when the queen announces She also outlined plans to support

:15:52. > :15:55.driverless cars, and even We'll get more on that

:15:56. > :16:21.in OS Business shortly. A deal between junior doctors that

:16:22. > :16:25.the government is in sight in the UK following a long-running dispute

:16:26. > :16:28.over contracts. Outside is welcomed the progress made.

:16:29. > :16:32.I think it is a very positive day for NHS patients and doctors. From a

:16:33. > :16:36.Government point of view, we have all the red lines we needed to

:16:37. > :16:40.improve weekend care. The extra cost of playing another doctor at the

:16:41. > :16:44.weekend will fall by about a third under this agreement, which will

:16:45. > :16:48.make it much easier for hospitals to improve care at weekends.

:16:49. > :16:51.We have been given very short snippets of information, it is nice

:16:52. > :16:56.to hear that both sides feel they have made gains, that it is not

:16:57. > :17:00.about that, it is all about delivering a better service for

:17:01. > :17:05.junior doc designed, most importantly, our patients and the

:17:06. > :17:08.NHS, to sustain in the future. It is not about winning gains, as good as

:17:09. > :17:11.that may sound, and we need a lot more information, which hopefully we

:17:12. > :17:14.will gather over the next few days. This is Outside Source live

:17:15. > :17:17.from the BBC newsroom. One of the more than 200 Chibok

:17:18. > :17:22.schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram Islamists in Nigeria

:17:23. > :17:29.has been found. It's the first such

:17:30. > :17:39.rescue in two years. Our newsroom there says that the

:17:40. > :17:43.government believes this is evidence of progress being made in the

:17:44. > :17:45.efforts to find the rest of them. Some of the main stories from BBC

:17:46. > :17:46.World Service... From next year, Indonesia will no

:17:47. > :17:49.longer allow its citizens to travel The government wants the maids to be

:17:50. > :17:53.employed as formal workers who live The idea is to get

:17:54. > :17:57.the workers better treatment BBC Arabic reports that Palestinian

:17:58. > :18:03.leaders have opened a new national It doesn't have any

:18:04. > :18:08.exhibits yet, though. The first exhibition about

:18:09. > :18:10.Palestinian refugees was suspended because of a disagreement amongst

:18:11. > :18:15.the museum's leadership. The museum chairman

:18:16. > :18:16.is upbeat, though - he says, "We are celebrating

:18:17. > :18:21.the fact it is completed on time." And lots of you have been reading

:18:22. > :18:24.about this farm in Wales. But you can rent it for ?1 a year

:18:25. > :18:28.so long as you're willing to look after its sheep -

:18:29. > :18:31.and what we're told are rare Just as she does every year,

:18:32. > :18:41.the Queen gave a speech to formally In it, among announcements

:18:42. > :18:46.about prison reform and other legislation, she set out proposals

:18:47. > :19:05.for driverless cars Legislation will be introduced to

:19:06. > :19:10.improve Britain's competitiveness and make the United Kingdom a world

:19:11. > :19:15.leader in the Digital economy. My ministers will ensure the United

:19:16. > :19:19.Kingdom is up the forefront of technology and new forms of

:19:20. > :19:24.transport, including autonomous and electric vehicles.

:19:25. > :19:27.Following the Queen's speech, transport correspondent Richard

:19:28. > :19:33.Wescott -- Richard Wescott put together this report.

:19:34. > :19:38.We are told drivers cars will make the streets much, much safer, but

:19:39. > :19:42.experts still admit they will have accidents. This is one of the pods

:19:43. > :19:48.that will be driving around Milton Keynes soon, driven just buy a

:19:49. > :19:52.computer. What happens if it crashes into something? What happens with

:19:53. > :19:56.the insurance? You should pay? The bill will help sort that out.

:19:57. > :20:00.Near misses between drones and commercial aircraft are becoming

:20:01. > :20:04.worryingly common, there were around 40 last year but they only

:20:05. > :20:08.prosecuted one person. That is the key to this, they can find out he

:20:09. > :20:10.was flying these drones, so they will look at whether they need to

:20:11. > :20:15.bring in new rules. In America, breaks up, you had to register when

:20:16. > :20:19.you buy a drones that they can trace it back to you.

:20:20. > :20:23.We're looking at Amazon potentially delivering by drone, do they had to

:20:24. > :20:27.regulate that? This new law will analyse what will happen with drones

:20:28. > :20:31.the future. It sounds like science fiction but

:20:32. > :20:34.the Government wants to build a spaceport in the UK and the next

:20:35. > :20:39.couple of years so ordinary people, if they have enough money, can get

:20:40. > :20:43.on a rocket and go into space. It is the kind of thing virgin Galactic

:20:44. > :20:48.roar ready building. I went to California and saw their space

:20:49. > :20:51.rocket last year. This is happening. But you will keep it safe and

:20:52. > :20:54.regulate space? This bill will try to pin that down or stop -- but who

:20:55. > :21:00.will? The US has raised its import taxes

:21:01. > :21:03.on Chinese steelmakers by more than 500% -

:21:04. > :21:13.accusing them of selling Beijing has been accused of flooding

:21:14. > :21:17.the world with cheap steel, but China is not having read. It says it

:21:18. > :21:23.is playing by the rules and it will not stop tax breaks for its steel

:21:24. > :21:25.exporters. Properly want to watch, there will be some exchanges between

:21:26. > :21:29.the Americans and the Chinese, I am sure. Now let's talk about this man.

:21:30. > :21:31.Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has delivered the keynote

:21:32. > :21:35.address at a developer conference in California.

:21:36. > :21:39.He announced a new virtual reality platform called Daydream along

:21:40. > :21:42.with plans for headsets to compete with Facebook's Oculus Rift

:21:43. > :21:44.and new smart-home speaker, all attempts to one-up its biggest

:21:45. > :21:49.competitors - Facebook, Apple and Amazon.

:21:50. > :21:55.Michelle Fleury was watching and joins us live from New York. I guess

:21:56. > :22:01.this cuts to Google trying to work out what it is and what it wants to

:22:02. > :22:06.offer? Underpinning a lot of these offerings has to do with artificial

:22:07. > :22:10.intelligence technology. Some of the announcements today, you mentioned a

:22:11. > :22:13.couple, one of them is a device for the home that would be voice

:22:14. > :22:18.controlled, similar in some ways to what Amazon is doing with its cap

:22:19. > :22:25.across Echo Project. The other offering is similar to Facebook as

:22:26. > :22:36.macro messenger service. Bat Facebook's messenger service. They

:22:37. > :22:43.both use artificial intelligence. Google perhaps has more to offer

:22:44. > :22:47.with its technology, so the verdict is that it is an interesting step

:22:48. > :22:52.forward. It is no colloquial -- more colloquial. I don't know if you have

:22:53. > :22:54.ever used voice assisted technology, but it is more chatty than the

:22:55. > :22:58.computer voice you might have been greeted with in the past. It is

:22:59. > :23:01.interesting the way we are seeing these huge companies like Apple,

:23:02. > :23:07.Facebook or Google going into areas where they would not traditionally

:23:08. > :23:12.have operated? Everybody is always looking for the next moonshot, to

:23:13. > :23:17.use a Google term for what they call the far-off ideas. We know they have

:23:18. > :23:21.spent a fortune on trying to develop things that are far-off into the

:23:27. > :23:30.talked about a lot, as well as artificial intelligence, was virtual

:23:31. > :23:33.reality. I think they are trying to anticipate things that we might use

:23:34. > :23:38.in the future. Google's Chief Executive talked about the fact

:23:39. > :23:44.that, on mobile, certainly, 20% of queries of voice queries, an

:23:45. > :23:53.astonishing statistic and a real change from a couple of years ago.

:23:54. > :23:58.The Facebook CEO will be meeting with some prominent conservatives

:23:59. > :24:00.today. That is because Facebook was accused of intentionally suppressing

:24:01. > :24:03.conservative views. The claims were published

:24:04. > :24:05.by the tech site Gizmodo. It highlighted the role people play

:24:06. > :24:07.in selecting these trending topics which appear here

:24:08. > :24:15.on your Facebook page To explain more, here's our

:24:16. > :24:25.technology correspondent On your mobile phone, you probably

:24:26. > :24:29.won't even see it, but there is a box on the right-hand side of your

:24:30. > :24:33.Facebook which says trending topics. We always thought that just about

:24:34. > :24:37.everything on Facebook relies on an algorithm and is decided by a

:24:38. > :24:40.computer programme. It turns out that this bid has human interaction

:24:41. > :24:47.and editors. The allegation last week was that of the editors might

:24:48. > :24:51.be biased, they might be damping down conservative topics in

:24:52. > :24:54.promoting more liberal topics. There was an uproar about that. Mark

:24:55. > :25:01.Zuckerberg has said he will have an investigation. He says he has found

:25:02. > :25:05.no evidence that this is true so far but he has made a big thing of

:25:06. > :25:07.reaching out to the Conservatives. They have come to Facebook

:25:08. > :25:13.headquarters and he is talking to them. As Facebook becomes more and

:25:14. > :25:17.more dominant, whether it is mutual becomes more important? The other

:25:18. > :25:21.interesting thing is that those big technology platforms, Facebook and

:25:22. > :25:26.Google, always say they are just platforms, it is all done by a

:25:27. > :25:30.computer, the algorithm. For much of Facebook, that is true. You can

:25:31. > :25:36.argue about whether algorithms can be biased. They do not want to be

:25:37. > :25:40.media companies, this has shown just how powerful a role they could play

:25:41. > :25:45.in the media, deciding elections and so on, which would put more pressure

:25:46. > :25:48.on them from regulators, who are thinking that maybe they are too

:25:49. > :25:53.powerful. That is why this meeting is happening, Mark Zuckerberg is

:25:54. > :25:57.taking it seriously? He has to comic he does not want to

:25:58. > :25:59.get involved in a Washington, DC fistfight about how Facebook should
