Stories coming up from Venezuela, Sri Lanka and Washington.

One of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls in

Nigeria has been rescued - but she says other girls have died.

There are protests right now in Venezuela.

Our correspondences there. For now, the police and the army are very

much on the Government's side, despite the opposition.

The BBC gets extraordinary evidence of crime and disorder inside British

prisons as the Government promises the most radical overhaul

We'll take a look at more of these amazing pictures of a meteor over

It is burning up as it enters the Earth 's atmosphere. Lots of

different videos of that happening. As lots of you were doing last

night, if you want to get into her chair with any stories, the #BBCOS

hashtag gets all your stories straight to us.

This photo has been released showing is one of the Chibok girls who was

rescued in Nigeria. We've just got this picture

of her with her baby, but she says She is one of a huge group kidnapped

by Boko Haram Islamists It's long been suspected the girls

may be in the Sambisa forest - and that's where this

girl was found. We have talked about that many times

on the programme. 276 girls were kidnapped,

some have already escaped They escaped in the hours following

their cap. This is a still from a video of some

of them that emerged in April. This is the last side we have heard

of some of the girls. Once again today we're seeing

the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag being heavily used -

just as it was when this story Michelle Obama and millions of

others used it. Here's Chris Ewokor

in the BBC's newsroom in Abuja on the circumstances of this

rescue. This group of civilian vigilante is

were on the fringes of the forest, that is where they discovered this

girl with a child. She was surrounded by some other suspected

Boko Haram militants. There was a fight, but eventually they rescued

the girl with her child and one of the Boko Haram suspect 's, who later

claimed to be her husband. Both were taken to a military base in it to be

close to Chibok. As we speak they are under way -- on the way to a

place where the girl and her child will be medically attended to, while

the young man, said to be a Boko Haram commander, will be screened.

The news has brought a lot of jolly, members of the group of

#BringBackOurGirls have been very overjoyed and have issued a state to

welcome the development and say they are still waiting on the government

for more details. The news is bringing a lot of pressure to bear

on the government, which has been accused of not doing enough to

rescue the girls. With this girl alive, there is a feeling that the

government will come under serious pressure to try to rescue the

remaining ones. As Chris said, those campaigning for

the girls to be rescued a hoping that this could be a defining moment

in their efforts to get them home. Let's hear from one of the leaders

of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign in New York.

I'm absolutely elated. I mean, this is amazing, the best news I have

heard, probably, for the untied a year. In the campaign, I think there

has just been a renewed sense of hope and joy, Khalil, I just

literally got off the phone with one of the mothers whose girls are still

missing, and the hope is that this is seriously just a window of

opportunity to begin to get these girls, who have been in abduction

for 765 days, back. Everyone is hopeful that the Nigerian government

will do what is absolutely needed at this moment. This is the time to

take the necessary action, to get the rest of these girls and

thousands of other people who have been ordered and out of captivity.

Next to Venezuela. These are desperate

times in Venezuela. If you've looked at coverage today

the word collapse That's because economic

and political collapse both The President's called a state

of emergency, and protestors Here are some of the numbers

behind the story. Venezuela's economy shrank 6% last

year and this year's They are both creating pressure.

Inflation anywhere near that it makes it impossible for earnings to

keep up with the cost of everything. Now Venezuela is heavily

dependent on oil. That one industry is responsible

for 95% of its export revenue. And with oil prices very low,

that's creating some major issues Worth saying, though -

that dip in oil income would exist In the middle of the steep economic

vertical crisis in Venezuela, the divisions between a socialist

government and right-wing opposition are being exposed every day. We have

anti-government supporters on both sides of the police line, calling

for a referendum against the president, Nicolas Maduro row. They

say there is enough popular support for the socialist president to be

removed from office. The government says it is part of an orchestrated

plan by right-wing opposition in Venezuela, and by foreign powers,

including benighted States, to derail Venezuela's socialist

resolution -- including benighted States. -- the United States.

Heavily armed riot police are trying to stop the protesters. For now, the

police and army are very much on the side of the government despite the

strength of the opposition. As you can see, tear gas, smoke

grenades, lots of heavy ordnance being used. Venezuela, Caracas, is

incredibly tense at the moment. If you look at the language in the

international coverage of the story, you pick up on some of the points

about the severity of the crisis. New York Times describes

a downward spiral. The Guardian highlighting

blackouts and murder. And Business Insider focuses

on the failing hospitals. Well, on that subject,

a BBC team has been been given Many of the causes are long term

problems, as Yolanda Valery of BBC I suppose it is a combination of

accumulated factors. Now you have this long-standing problem with

shortages in food. If you add to that mix electric cuts and water

shortages, you have a high pressurised situation where people

are just fed up with it all over the country. If you read through social

media platforms, you will find people complaining that even if you

had the money, you would go to a supermarket and not find any food,

that is not getting better. Why does the president take a state of

emergency will help? His view is that it is economic warfare, as he

calls it, waged by the right-wing organisations. He thinks he needs

his state of emergency is to control the economic warfare and the

situation streets getting hit on by the minute. Some viewers will be

wondering how Venezuela has ended up in the situation, it has been

incredibly lucky with oil reserves, a huge amount of money created by

them, yet we are seeing this. There always two side to the story. From

the opposition point of view, the only explanation is mismanagement by

the government and an economic model that is a failure. That is how the

opposition sees it. The government thinks it has been

the victim of a war waged by the right-wing and even the Empire, as

they call it, meaning the United States. They think the model has

failed because it does not have the support it was meant to be having,

internally and externally. There always two side to the story.

We are lucky to have Yolanda and her colleagues from BBC Monday oh, which

is our Spanish language source. -- BBC Mundo.

The British government is promising the biggest shake-up since Victorian

times of the prison system in England and Wales.

Its plan for radical reforms was at the heart of today's

ceremonial Queen's Speech to Parliament which sets out

One of our reporters was in Wandsworth prison and this is what

he found. The BBC has been given unprecedented

access inside a British jail. Over seven days we saw

the fear and violence. If you can't defend yourself,

you will become a victim. And the prison officers pushed

to the very edge. I think I'm probably the most

stressed I've been in 24 years A prisoner has refused

to go back to his cell. 20 years ago the inmate

in the middle of all of this We can't identify him,

but he told us he was trapped I've had warfare

with politics in jail. I've got sliced down the side

of the face. There have been murders in here,

left, right and centre. I said you are putting me

in a predicament where I have no alternative but to utilise

violence for my safety. They are so short staffed here,

this place can't run, it's unsafe. Next B wing and the smell

of cannabis is everywhere. It's overwhelming,

especially up here. And then we see it -

a group smoking below us, How do you feel about people smoking

cannabis down there? Where can you get

cannabis from? If you want some cannabis

I can get you some. You can get some

right now? Obviously it is not good,

it defeats everything we can You don't have to look far to find

drugs in Wandsworth. Take Ashley, who has

only just arrived. He says all drugs are

available at all times. All I've got to do is go down

to the twos, the threes, These wraps are worth ?8,000.

all smuggled into Wandsworth. Smartphone, several hundred quid

they go for retail price. This prisoner asked us not

to show his face. They charge you ?500 a parcel,

the size of, say, three tennis balls full of drugs,

phones, whatever you want. The BBC was invited here

to hear these stories, to see the pressure from a Governor

who's demanding change. The one thing that I absolutely

cannot stand, one of the things I want to do with reform is to think

very carefully about how do we deal with those issues of corruption

and what do we do to tackle That will deal with some

of the issues you've highlighted But how long will this

prison reform take? The pressure inside is building now,

and officers are getting hurt. At the moment he's been

the victim of an assault. My wife worries that I'm

not going to come home. If she could, she would have me out

of the job. Wandsworth has been

Andy Topping's life. I believe my staff want

to make a difference. What's happening

to your mental health? I don't think people care

about what's happening What is happening

I will retire and I will die early. This prison revolution,

people that report, it is available online through the BBC News app and

the BBC News website. Those plans to reform

prison were announced in the Queen's Speech -

when the queen announces She also outlined plans to support

driverless cars, and even We'll get more on that

in OS Business shortly. A deal between junior doctors that

the government is in sight in the UK following a long-running dispute

over contracts. Outside is welcomed the progress made.

I think it is a very positive day for NHS patients and doctors. From a

Government point of view, we have all the red lines we needed to

improve weekend care. The extra cost of playing another doctor at the

weekend will fall by about a third under this agreement, which will

make it much easier for hospitals to improve care at weekends.

We have been given very short snippets of information, it is nice

to hear that both sides feel they have made gains, that it is not

about that, it is all about delivering a better service for

junior doc designed, most importantly, our patients and the

NHS, to sustain in the future. It is not about winning gains, as good as

that may sound, and we need a lot more information, which hopefully we

will gather over the next few days. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. One of the more than 200 Chibok

schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram Islamists in Nigeria

has been found. It's the first such

rescue in two years. Our newsroom there says that the

government believes this is evidence of progress being made in the

efforts to find the rest of them. Some of the main stories from BBC

World Service... From next year, Indonesia will no

longer allow its citizens to travel The government wants the maids to be

employed as formal workers who live The idea is to get

the workers better treatment BBC Arabic reports that Palestinian

leaders have opened a new national It doesn't have any

exhibits yet, though. The first exhibition about

Palestinian refugees was suspended because of a disagreement amongst

the museum's leadership. The museum chairman

is upbeat, though - he says, "We are celebrating

the fact it is completed on time." And lots of you have been reading

about this farm in Wales. But you can rent it for ?1 a year

so long as you're willing to look after its sheep -

and what we're told are rare Just as she does every year,

the Queen gave a speech to formally In it, among announcements

about prison reform and other legislation, she set out proposals

for driverless cars Legislation will be introduced to

improve Britain's competitiveness and make the United Kingdom a world

leader in the Digital economy. My ministers will ensure the United

Kingdom is up the forefront of technology and new forms of

transport, including autonomous and electric vehicles.

Following the Queen's speech, transport correspondent Richard

Wescott -- Richard Wescott put together this report.

We are told drivers cars will make the streets much, much safer, but

experts still admit they will have accidents. This is one of the pods

that will be driving around Milton Keynes soon, driven just buy a

computer. What happens if it crashes into something? What happens with

the insurance? You should pay? The bill will help sort that out.

Near misses between drones and commercial aircraft are becoming

worryingly common, there were around 40 last year but they only

prosecuted one person. That is the key to this, they can find out he

was flying these drones, so they will look at whether they need to

bring in new rules. In America, breaks up, you had to register when

you buy a drones that they can trace it back to you.

We're looking at Amazon potentially delivering by drone, do they had to

regulate that? This new law will analyse what will happen with drones

the future. It sounds like science fiction but

the Government wants to build a spaceport in the UK and the next

couple of years so ordinary people, if they have enough money, can get

on a rocket and go into space. It is the kind of thing virgin Galactic

roar ready building. I went to California and saw their space

rocket last year. This is happening. But you will keep it safe and

regulate space? This bill will try to pin that down or stop -- but who

will? The US has raised its import taxes

on Chinese steelmakers by more than 500% -

accusing them of selling Beijing has been accused of flooding

the world with cheap steel, but China is not having read. It says it

is playing by the rules and it will not stop tax breaks for its steel

exporters. Properly want to watch, there will be some exchanges between

the Americans and the Chinese, I am sure. Now let's talk about this man.

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has delivered the keynote

address at a developer conference in California.

He announced a new virtual reality platform called Daydream along

with plans for headsets to compete with Facebook's Oculus Rift

and new smart-home speaker, all attempts to one-up its biggest

competitors - Facebook, Apple and Amazon.

Michelle Fleury was watching and joins us live from New York. I guess

this cuts to Google trying to work out what it is and what it wants to

offer? Underpinning a lot of these offerings has to do with artificial

intelligence technology. Some of the announcements today, you mentioned a

couple, one of them is a device for the home that would be voice

controlled, similar in some ways to what Amazon is doing with its cap

across Echo Project. The other offering is similar to Facebook as

macro messenger service. Bat Facebook's messenger service. They

both use artificial intelligence. Google perhaps has more to offer

with its technology, so the verdict is that it is an interesting step

forward. It is no colloquial -- more colloquial. I don't know if you have

ever used voice assisted technology, but it is more chatty than the

computer voice you might have been greeted with in the past. It is

interesting the way we are seeing these huge companies like Apple,

Facebook or Google going into areas where they would not traditionally

have operated? Everybody is always looking for the next moonshot, to

use a Google term for what they call the far-off ideas. We know they have

spent a fortune on trying to develop things that are far-off into the

future. These are perhaps closer to reality. The other thing they have

talked about a lot, as well as artificial intelligence, was virtual

reality. I think they are trying to anticipate things that we might use

in the future. Google's Chief Executive talked about the fact

that, on mobile, certainly, 20% of queries of voice queries, an

astonishing statistic and a real change from a couple of years ago.

The Facebook CEO will be meeting with some prominent conservatives

today. That is because Facebook was accused of intentionally suppressing

conservative views. The claims were published

by the tech site Gizmodo. It highlighted the role people play

in selecting these trending topics which appear here

on your Facebook page To explain more, here's our

technology correspondent On your mobile phone, you probably

won't even see it, but there is a box on the right-hand side of your

Facebook which says trending topics. We always thought that just about

everything on Facebook relies on an algorithm and is decided by a

computer programme. It turns out that this bid has human interaction

and editors. The allegation last week was that of the editors might

be biased, they might be damping down conservative topics in

promoting more liberal topics. There was an uproar about that. Mark

Zuckerberg has said he will have an investigation. He says he has found

no evidence that this is true so far but he has made a big thing of

reaching out to the Conservatives. They have come to Facebook

headquarters and he is talking to them. As Facebook becomes more and

more dominant, whether it is mutual becomes more important? The other

interesting thing is that those big technology platforms, Facebook and

Google, always say they are just platforms, it is all done by a

computer, the algorithm. For much of Facebook, that is true. You can

argue about whether algorithms can be biased. They do not want to be

media companies, this has shown just how powerful a role they could play

in the media, deciding elections and so on, which would put more pressure

on them from regulators, who are thinking that maybe they are too

powerful. That is why this meeting is happening, Mark Zuckerberg is

taking it seriously? He has to comic he does not want to

get involved in a Washington, DC fistfight about how Facebook should

be regulated, like any of the news business. I

will be back
