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

have done anyway. Tomorrow the party starts. There will be a huge concert

Still to come: We'll come, meet the Muslim cleric,

originally from Iran, who was forced to 'come out'

A man who attacked passengers with a knife on the London Underground,

has been found guilty of attempted murder.

Muhuddin Mire, who has a history of mental illness,

Fifty-six year old Lyle Zimmerman, a musician, suffered a deep wound

Somali-born Mire admitted the attack, but denied

He goes back into Leytonstone station. Stay! But these people

don't run, they try and distract him, to contain him. They keep

: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
