Hello, I'm Karin Giannone this is Outside Source. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Hillary Clinton now has enough delegates to secure | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
We'll be live to Washington in a moment to find out why this | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Former World number one, Maria Sharapova - | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
suspended for two years from playing tennis after testing positive | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
We'll have a special report from Eritrea. | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
Mary Harper has had rare access inside the country to find out why | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Plus we've got an incredible tale of censorship in Bollywood. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Eritrea is a small secretive nation of about five | :00:49. | :01:07. | |
We normally hear about it because of the large numbers | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Last year more people fled to Europe from Eritrea | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Now a UN inquiry has highlighted some of the reasons why. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Imogen Foulkes is our correspondent at the UN in Geneva. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
Speaking at the devastating human rights report, crimes against | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
humanity being systematic and widespread for 25 years. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
BBC World Service's Africa Editor Mary Harper got rare | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Before we speak to her let's show you what she found. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
There are many Eritreas, it just depends who you talk to. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Human rights groups say people are fleeing because there | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
is torture, masss imprisonment, forced indefinite conscription | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
A UN Commission of Inquiry says this may amount | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
There is no basis to the claims of the Commission of Inquiry. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
But at the same time, if it keeps progressing, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
it could eventually lead to the International Criminal Court, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
I think what it will lead to, if it leads to anything, | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
is the loss of any credibility for the Human Rights Council | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
All Eriteans in this country, all of them without exception, | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
those who can do national service do it. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
It has contributed to defending the country in a war of aggression | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
in 1998-2000 but it has also contributed to build the country. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
In a recent speech, President Isaias Afwerki said | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the West was deliberately encouraging Eritreans to leave, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Plenty of people believe in the country they fought so hard | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
for but many young Eritreans have fled, some because of national | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
service, others for economic reasons. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Some who are unhappy with the system have chosen to stay. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
We tried to knock on the door of the government, actually, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
He knows everything, what you do, and he can't tolerate, | :03:22. | :03:36. | |
he can never tolerate whatever you do against him. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
I want to be a free Eritrean because everybody loves freedom. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Slowly, Eritrea is beginning to engage with the outside world. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
It is entering a fiercely competitive market. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
The poor city of Massawa lacks the hustle and bustle of most | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
There are small signs of economic change but mainly | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
This young country with its strong spirit of self-reliance faces | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Both it and foreign powers will have to work together more closely | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
for Eritrea to develop and to help stem the flow of migrants to Europe. | :04:19. | :04:35. | |
Mary joined me on the outside source to set and told me how easy it was | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
to speak to people during her trip. I was expecting nobody to speak to | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
me because that is what journalists and others usually experience. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Extraordinarily, almost everyone I tried to speak to was very happy to | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
speak and people were happy, as you could see, sometimes criticised the | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
economy, even when there was big economy, even when there was big | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
cameras and phones but right in front of their faces. It really was | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
a great surprise people were so willing to speak. -- and | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
decisions of human rights abuses. decisions of human rights abuses. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Yes, it seems that the Government has totally dismissed the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
allegations as null and void and one-sided. It is the case the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
commission of enquiry only spoke to people outside the country who the | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Government says has an axe to grind. That doesn't mean there are not | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
problems in Eritrea, especially on this issue of National Service, | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
where people once they finish their education after going to -- after | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
going to, most of them don't go into the military, they go into civilian | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
jobs, but sometimes for years and years. I spoke to people who been | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
there for 12 or 13 years, 15 years. That is a big problem and that is | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
why lots of people are leaving. What might emerge from this UN report in | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
terms of legal processes? Could there be a prosecution in the | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
International criminal Court? It could lead to that but it would take | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
a very long time. It must go through various votes. This commission of | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
enquiry was appointed by the US but is not a UN body, it must go through | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the human rights Council and then to committees of the General Assembly | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
and eventually to the Security Council that would then vote on | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
whether it should be sent to the ICC. Within months or possibly years | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
it is possible that some Eritreans will receive indictments from the | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
International criminal Court. It is very rare for Western journalists to | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
get into Eritrea to be reporting, never mind what freely. How | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
difficult was it to get access? It took months and months of planning | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and trying to persuade them to let me come. Once I was in there, I did | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
not have a Government minder, they said you can speak to everyone at | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
when everyone at as long as you don't go to military zones. Even | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
though it was difficult to get the initial access, once I was there I | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
really was free to move around, quite often I walked around and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
spoke to people or got taxis, it was quite spontaneous. In no way did it | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
feel I was being controlled. One of the biggest stories | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
in Africa today kicks off It is that Nigeria football legend | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Stephen Keshi has died Tributes have been pouring in TWEET | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Here's one from the chair of the African Union @DlaminiZuma | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
"News of #StephenKeshi's Te Manchester City | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
and Ivory Coast midfielder called BBC Focus on Africa's Piers Edwards | :07:36. | :07:57. | |
has been looking back at his life. One of African football's legendary | :07:58. | :08:12. | |
figures, Stephen Keshi was admired throughout the football world. The | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Nigerian is one of only two men to win the Africa cup of Nations both | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
as a player and a coach. Arguably his greatest managerial triumph came | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
in qualifying little fancied Togo for the 2006 World Cup. However, it | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
was with Nigeria that actual silverware can, despite constant | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
battles with the local federation, Keshi led the super Eagles to | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
victory in the 2013 Nations cup. One year later he no -- lead Nigeria to | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
the World Cup knockout phase, the only black Africans ever do this. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
The man affectionately dubbed big Boss fetched made his name as a | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
player and was in the late 80s one of the earliest Africans to move to | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Europe. It was the best thing that happened to Nigeria football because | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
the more the team went abroad, I couldn't wait to come up. I gave | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Nigeria players, raw talents come my generation, the polishing we needed. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
was more like a leader of the group was more like a leader of the group | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
and the leader outside of the pitch. Alongside a lycee and others, Keshi | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
when the Nations cup in 1994 as captain and narrowly missed out on a | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
World Cup quarterfinal place later World Cup quarterfinal place later | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
that year. He coached Nigeria over three spells, most recently last | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
year after he was sacked as caretaker coach. But reinstated | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
after intervention from the Nigerian president. World Cup hero and | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Nations cup legend, Keshi, will never be forgotten. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Keshi, Nigerian football coach who has died at the age of 54. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Jose Mourinho has made his first signing | :09:55. | :09:57. | |

old Ivory Coast international who joins from Spanish | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
Will Perry is at the BBC Sports Centre. | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
Tell us more about him. Many thought Zach Klein even of it would be the | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
first signing -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It is a statement that it is the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
defensive areas that need attention first. Bailey is 22 years old, six | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
foot one and an imposing style. He should meet the physical demands of | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
the Premier League come as fast, tall, athletic and a strong central | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
defender who is praised for giving particularly well with | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
situations. He gives Mourinho and situations. He gives Mourinho and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |

al. Part of that defence has conceded just 35 goals in 38 games | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
last season. He was ever present as Ivory Coast won the Africa cup of | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Nations last year. Quite a financial mark-up, joint development after | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
?4.4 million last year and he will cost United ?30 million, reportedly | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
20 million with add-ons on top of that. Four-year contract with the | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
option to extend that the offer of further two years. Rania says he has | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
the potential to become one of the best defenders around. -- Mourinho. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |

Just two days until the Euro Championship begins in France. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Security is an obvious concern this year. | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
A familiar face, Ros Atkins, is in Paris looking | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
Hosting European football championships will be a major event | :11:56. | :12:08. | |
for any country. You can definitely make the case that for France this | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
year it matters a little more. That is because this beautiful city, | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
bathed in summer sunshine, was the victim of the three murderous | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
attacks in 2015 and no one here has forgotten about them that they | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
remember the victims, they also are focused on keeping everyone who | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
comes to Euro 2016 safe. For instance, if you look around the | :12:34. | :12:34. | |
perimeter of this huge van Zyl and perimeter of this huge van Zyl and | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
you will find a number of security checkpoints, we know 90,000 security | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
personnel have been deployed across the country. -- fan zone. It is the | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
priority, keeping everyone say. But priority, keeping everyone say. But | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
while they're focused on that, you get the impression that the message | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
most French people want to send is we will do this just as we would | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
have done anyway. Tomorrow the party starts. There will be a huge concert | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
in this fan zone and on Friday night we expect nearly 100,000 people to | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
what we're told is the biggest TV in what we're told is the biggest TV in | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
the world and from then on the toilet will continue for another | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
month and end up with the final underlie the tent. It promises to be | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
a huge festival of football and the more we speak about what is | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
happening on the pitch the less we are any security fears come get the | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
impression that it will give people hear a lot of pressure. Full | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
coverage here on BBC world News and follow me online as well. | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
And Ros will be live in Paris tomorrow for a special | :13:34. | :13:35. | |

Still to come: We'll come, meet the Muslim cleric, | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
originally from Iran, who was forced to 'come out' | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
A man who attacked passengers with a knife on the London Underground, | :13:48. | :14:04. | |
has been found guilty of attempted murder. | :14:05. | :14:05. | |
Muhuddin Mire, who has a history of mental illness, | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
stabbed a man in the throat last December, claiming he was inspired | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
Fifty-six year old Lyle Zimmerman, a musician, suffered a deep wound | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Somali-born Mire admitted the attack, but denied | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Modi Myra, knife in hand. He has already attacked one man, musician, | :14:22. | :14:40. | |
a guitar on his back. Myra has cut a guitar on his back. Myra has cut | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
his throat. He then takes out his oyster card and leaves. To confront | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
other bystanders outside. A clue to his motivation: | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
He goes back into Leytonstone station. Stay! But these people | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
don't run, they try and distract him, to contain him. They keep | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
filming, the footage shown to the jury. It takes police three attempts | :15:18. | :15:30. | |
to bring him down with teasers. And a bystander Shapps this. You are no | :15:31. | :15:39. | |
Muslim! Words reported around the world that during the attack he | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
shouted this is my Syrian brothers. I will spill your blood. Despite the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
fact he has collected extremist videos and pictures, he had no | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
contact with any jihadists. And his family are convinced there was | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
another reason for what happened. He had a history of psychotic | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
delusions. Police are increasingly delusions. Police are increasingly | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
worried mentally ill people can become motivated by jihadist | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
propaganda. Terrorist organisations such as or in Syria prey on | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
individuals such as him. He had downloaded a vast amount of | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
extremist material which we think certainly inspired him to conduct an | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
attack here. His sentencing has been delayed while the psychiatric report | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
is produced. This is Outside Source live | :16:26. | :16:38. | |

detention centre. This place looks and feels very much like a prison. | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
Right now, 300 people are being held behind bars here. Most have | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
committed no crime. But we are not allowed to see them, let alone | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
interview them. This is one of the rooms where the detainees are kept. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Although it is steel, it is very much like a cell. In here there | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
could be as many as five people living, and they are locked up | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
inside here for up to 15 hours a day. There is a toilet in here and a | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
wash basin and there is a window, but they wind us are blanked off so | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
you cannot see out of them. This man knows exactly what it's like to be | :18:39. | :18:42. | |

new baby. But after fleeing to Japan from Turkish Kurdistan years spent a | :18:50. | :18:53. | |

years later he has still not been granted asylum. He can only stay in | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
Japan because his wife is Japanese. Japan rejects more than 99% of | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
refugee applications. In the last year it has accepted just three | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
refugees from Syria. In a house an hour north of Tokyo, this young man | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
has recently arrived from Iraq. He has applied for asylum but knows he | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
has little chance. While he waits, he is barred from working or even | :20:04. | :20:09. | |

Many other mullahs back in a run rule the country and advise people | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
on spiritual matters. These clerics are highly respected, but also | :21:26. | :21:26. | |
feared for the power they wield. I meet him in mosque in Istanbul | :21:27. | :21:41. | |
where he has come to play -- prey. He told me he tried to keep his | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
sexual orientation quiet but his life was exposed, especially when he | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
started conducting gay weddings in secret. | :21:49. | :22:22. | |
Istanbul is unique in the Muslim world for the tolerance of home | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
sexuality. The city has several gay bars and clubs. He wants to take me | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
to one of them, but before that he needs to get ready in his way. | :22:33. | :22:47. | |
He brings me to a spot famous for its gay scene. Areas like this are | :22:48. | :23:00. | |

Canada. We'll run ever accept him the way he is or is he too gay to be | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
mullah and two Miller to be gay? We started this programme with the | :24:14. | :24:25. | |
US election campaign, let's end with a different thing. Meryl Streep | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
famously won an Oskar for playing the British prime ministers Margaret | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
Thatcher but now she has added another political role to her | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
