0:00:12 > 0:00:14US special counsel Robert Mueller brings charges

0:00:24 > 0:00:26The indictment charges 13 Russian nationals and three Russian

0:00:26 > 0:00:30companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in

0:00:30 > 0:00:35the United States political system.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The FBI says it mishandled information warning about the danger

0:00:38 > 0:00:40of the Florida school shooter.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Battling criminal gangs in Rio de Janeiro -

0:00:42 > 0:00:52Brazil's president orders the army to take over security in the state.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55The new South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa,

0:00:55 > 0:00:58has been setting out his plans to end corruption - in his first

0:00:58 > 0:01:01state of the nation address.

0:01:01 > 0:01:13Everyone every time someone receives a bribe, there is always someone

0:01:13 > 0:01:19ready to pay, we will make sure we deal with both of them.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hello and welcome to World News Today.

0:01:23 > 0:01:32The office of Robert Muller, the special counsel investigating

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Russian interference in the US presidential election,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37has filed charges against 13 Russian individuals and three companies.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38The charges include conspiracy to commit wire fraud

0:01:38 > 0:01:44and aggravated identity theft.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Earlier Rod Rosenstein, the US Deputy Attorney General,

0:01:46 > 0:01:47made this statement to reporters.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48In the past hour, President Trump has tweeted,

0:02:22 > 0:02:30The conspiracy was part of a larger organisation, which is part of using

0:02:30 > 0:02:34domestic audiences and also targeting foreign audiences in

0:02:34 > 0:02:38multiple countries will stop

0:02:38 > 0:02:40In the past hour, President Trump has tweeted,

0:02:40 > 0:02:42again, that his campaign did nothing wrong and that

0:02:42 > 0:02:43there was no collusion.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Meanwhile the Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed

0:02:45 > 0:02:49allegations of Russian meddling as absurd.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Let's get more from our correspondent

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Anthony Zurcher in Washington.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01when we talk about interference, what does that mean in practice?

0:03:01 > 0:03:07According to this indictment, it outlines an array of things that

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Russian individuals do, they travelled to the United States

0:03:09 > 0:03:14posing as Americans and spoke with political experts to gauge how best

0:03:14 > 0:03:18to target their interfering efforts, the focus on the key electoral

0:03:18 > 0:03:24states and they set up servers in the United States to direct their

0:03:24 > 0:03:29traffic so they could seem to be Americans contacting social media

0:03:29 > 0:03:34sites through Twitter and Facebook and advertising campaigns, posing as

0:03:34 > 0:03:41Americans on social media whether fake aliases or actual people that

0:03:41 > 0:03:45they assumed the identity of but beyond the social media campaigns

0:03:45 > 0:03:50they were also organising rallies across the United States some in

0:03:50 > 0:03:54favour of Donald Trump and some opposing Hillary Clinton, paying

0:03:54 > 0:03:58real Americans for material to create these rallies, even paying a

0:03:58 > 0:04:04Hillary Clinton impersonator to dress as a prison guard and travel

0:04:04 > 0:04:07to several Donald Trump rallies, they were staging rallies to support

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Donald Trump and to protest his election so it was a con brands of

0:04:11 > 0:04:14effort not just online but also on the ground throughout the

0:04:14 > 0:04:20presidential campaign -- comprehensive effort.Rod Rosenstein

0:04:20 > 0:04:23said there is no allegation that American was knowingly involved in

0:04:23 > 0:04:30the US election meddling. So in that sense is resident macro right that

0:04:30 > 0:04:37there was no collusion? -- President Trump.It doesn't mean that they are

0:04:37 > 0:04:41continuing to investigate, and in the text of the indictment it said

0:04:41 > 0:04:47that the Russians posing as Americans had contacts with members

0:04:47 > 0:04:50of the Trump campaign but they called them unwitting individuals

0:04:50 > 0:04:54and they did not know they were Russians. In a sense this document

0:04:54 > 0:04:57does not prove collusion and knowledge on the part of the Trump

0:04:57 > 0:05:02campaign of Russia's efforts and while this case is not closed in

0:05:02 > 0:05:06this instance, it they can point to this and said this is not proof of

0:05:06 > 0:05:11collusion.What are the Democrats saying about this?They have said

0:05:11 > 0:05:16Donald Trump has got to take this seriously, he has been shrugging off

0:05:16 > 0:05:21the US intelligence agencies saying that Russian tried to meddle with

0:05:21 > 0:05:25the election, calling it a hoax by his political enemies, but the

0:05:25 > 0:05:29special counsel Robert Mueller has laid out in exacting detail exactly

0:05:29 > 0:05:34what Russia did and how much money they spent on it, millions of

0:05:34 > 0:05:38dollars each month in the run-up to the election, so Democrats are

0:05:38 > 0:05:41saying Donald Trump as to take this seriously and acknowledge Russian

0:05:41 > 0:05:46efforts in the past and maybe impose sanctions that Congress has ordered

0:05:46 > 0:05:49and also take active steps going forward to make sure that this

0:05:49 > 0:05:55doesn't happen again.Anthony, thanks for joining us.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57The FBI has said it was warned last month

0:05:57 > 0:06:02about the Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz - but failed

0:06:03 > 0:06:04to act on the information.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07In a statement, it admitted it was tipped by a person "close"

0:06:07 > 0:06:11to Mr Cruz, who spoke about his gun ownership, desire to kill people,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13and potential of him conducting a school shooting.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Meanwhile more funerals are taking place for the victims.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17President Trump is heading to Florida later on Friday.

0:06:17 > 0:06:26Our North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports.

0:06:26 > 0:06:32They are coming to mourn a girl shot dead inside her school.

0:06:32 > 0:06:39One of the 17 victims of America's latest mass shooting.

0:06:39 > 0:06:46Alyssa had been passionate about playing football and had been

0:06:46 > 0:06:50a popular and talented people.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Earlier, thousands had gathered to remember all of those who died,

0:06:54 > 0:06:57in many cases friends that only a few days ago they had

0:06:57 > 0:06:58shared classrooms with.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00They included 14-year-old Jaime Guttenberg, who family members

0:07:00 > 0:07:02say stood up for those who were bullied.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Her father spoke at the vigil.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05I sent her to school yesterday.

0:07:05 > 0:07:11She was supposed to be safe.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Among the others who died, Meadow Pollock, who was going

0:07:13 > 0:07:15to university next year.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Joachim Oliver a basketball player who loved writing poetry.

0:07:18 > 0:07:24Nicholas, a promising swimmer and academic,

0:07:24 > 0:07:26and 14-year-old Cara, who her family says

0:07:26 > 0:07:33was a great student who loved being at the beach.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37All lives cut short by a former student at their own school who had

0:07:37 > 0:07:38returned there with a gun.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40This is where Nikolas Cruz bought his weapon.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42All he had to do was produce his driving licence,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45give the most basic of personal details and then answer a question

0:07:45 > 0:07:49to say that he was not mentally ill.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51He was 18 at the time, too young to buy alcohol

0:07:51 > 0:07:55here but old enough to walk out of this shop with an AR-15 rifle.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Young survivors are insisting on better gun control but feel many

0:07:58 > 0:08:02adults are letting them down.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06The fact that I have to say this is horrifying but I feel the need

0:08:06 > 0:08:09to because this is the blood of children that is on the floor

0:08:09 > 0:08:10of the school now.

0:08:10 > 0:08:18These are 17 children that are dead.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Those children are the future, the future of this country.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22And what are we telling our children and showing the future

0:08:22 > 0:08:25of our country when they have to come to school and

0:08:25 > 0:08:28worry about being shot?

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Politicians again promised change.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32You call this a talking point, why would this be any different

0:08:32 > 0:08:35to all the atrocities that have gone before, what makes you feel

0:08:35 > 0:08:36this is different?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I have never seen students speak out as boldly as they have.

0:08:39 > 0:08:45Maybe this is the turning point.

0:08:45 > 0:08:52Close to the school, students demonstrated to demand

0:08:52 > 0:08:54a solution to stop this type of tragedy happening again.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57In truth America remains a long way off finding a way

0:08:57 > 0:09:01to end its problems with guns.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03The BBC's Neda Tawfik is in Parkland, Florida.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I asked her how the news that the FBI had a tip off

0:09:06 > 0:09:13about the alleged shooter, is being received.

0:09:13 > 0:09:27We have heard from authorities, if you see something, say something.

0:09:35 > 0:09:41Well, somebody did, but the FBI never responded to the information.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44The FBI director said he called up the families of the victims

0:09:44 > 0:09:47to apologise and he said he can't imagine the added pain

0:09:47 > 0:09:49that this is causing them, and throughout the last day we have

0:09:49 > 0:09:52heard from officials saying it is important for anyone who sees

0:09:52 > 0:09:55something to say something, but in this case someone did say

0:09:55 > 0:09:56something, but 17 people have died.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59One of the victim's father said the agency had got to be blunt and said

0:09:59 > 0:10:03they had failed these families.We have seen discussion of gun control,

0:10:03 > 0:10:08is this announcement by the FBI going to crowd out those items? --

0:10:08 > 0:10:14arguments.That is the fear, the talking point from Storch

0:10:14 > 0:10:18conservative Republicans who have defended deep second Amendment --

0:10:18 > 0:10:29Storch. -- Storch. They have two weight for the facts, they say, but

0:10:29 > 0:10:32for politicising the issue, and President Trump said this was

0:10:32 > 0:10:39someone who was known to be mentally I -- unstable but he did not mention

0:10:39 > 0:10:44gun-control, and this is added ammunition to say, we could have

0:10:44 > 0:10:47prevented this is the FBI had stepped in on warnings that people

0:10:47 > 0:10:56had put forward. On the other side, I've never seen students come

0:10:56 > 0:11:04together so boldly to demand that the country changes its stance and

0:11:04 > 0:11:10pushes for safer gun laws. We saw students showing these videos and

0:11:10 > 0:11:15when I asked one of them why he did that he said it was specifically so

0:11:15 > 0:11:18he could record what was happening and change people's minds about this

0:11:18 > 0:11:27very issue.Our correspondent in Florida.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30The Brazilian army is to take full control of security

0:11:30 > 0:11:31in Rio de Janeiro state.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32President Michel Temer ordered the intervention,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34saying organised crime has virtually seized control there.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37In the city of Rio - street crime is on the rise

0:11:37 > 0:11:39and criminal gangs have regained control of the shantytowns.

0:11:39 > 0:11:45The BBC's Julia Carneiro joined from there a little earlier.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50This has never happened in recent past, it is the first time, it is

0:11:50 > 0:11:53something that was established by the 1980 Constitution, the

0:11:53 > 0:11:58prerogative of calling a constitution if there is a case

0:11:58 > 0:12:03where law and order needs to be restored but it has never happened.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06The president Michael Temer has said an extreme measure like this was

0:12:06 > 0:12:10necessary because criminal organisations were spreading like a

0:12:10 > 0:12:16cancer as he said in Rio and it was necessary to take strong measures to

0:12:16 > 0:12:21show the state would be able to take control of the situation. This is a

0:12:21 > 0:12:28decree that is virtually transferring the power of how

0:12:28 > 0:12:30policing is organised in Rio from the state of the federal government

0:12:30 > 0:12:36and the president has named a general who is to lead the police

0:12:36 > 0:12:39operation in Rio from now on and will respond to him to the

0:12:39 > 0:12:46president. So we will see lots of changes in the coming months and we

0:12:46 > 0:12:53will have to see how this runs. The situation is deteriorating in Rio

0:12:53 > 0:12:57and people are hoping for strong measures and for a response but

0:12:57 > 0:13:03there is also disbelief and politicians and also mistrust that

0:13:03 > 0:13:09they can really bring something off that will have an impact.We hear

0:13:09 > 0:13:14words like violence and lawlessness, but can you tell me what is actually

0:13:14 > 0:13:21like living day-to-day in Rio in practice? What is it like?Everyone

0:13:21 > 0:13:26here is trying to lead their normal lives, it is not like it is chaos on

0:13:26 > 0:13:30the streets and carnival just happened and it was a big

0:13:30 > 0:13:32celebration but there is a daily life more and more interrupted by

0:13:32 > 0:13:39violent events. It seems like things are drawing near to you or that the

0:13:39 > 0:13:43possibility of something dangerous happening is drawing near to you or

0:13:43 > 0:13:47to someone you love and so people start taking precautions and they

0:13:47 > 0:13:49are more afraid and you hear more and more of cases of things

0:13:49 > 0:13:54happening. You could be the next one in line, of course, so there is a

0:13:54 > 0:14:00sense of fear in the city, and this becomes even more evident when

0:14:00 > 0:14:06events become more extreme like we have seen over the past few weeks.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Let's see what will happen and if this will help improve the

0:14:08 > 0:14:13situation.Our correspondent in Rio.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18We look at the reasons why the number of orangutans in Borneo

0:14:18 > 0:14:22has halved in just 16 years.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39This is BBC World News Today.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43The latest headlines.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48The US special counsel investigating possible interference

0:15:48 > 0:15:50in the presidential elections, Robert Mueller, has brought charges

0:15:50 > 0:15:53against 13 Russian suspects.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55The FBI has acknowledged that it mishandled a warning

0:15:55 > 0:15:58that it received last month about Nikolas Cruz, the man

0:15:58 > 0:16:03who killed 17 people at a school in Florida.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06The new South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa,

0:16:06 > 0:16:09has delivered his first state of the nation address

0:16:09 > 0:16:13to Parliament in Cape Town, a day after being sworn into office.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16He set out his plans for the economy and for ending

0:16:16 > 0:16:18the corruption scandals that forced his predecessor,

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Jacob Zuma, to resign.

0:16:21 > 0:16:26Mr Ramaphosa told the MPs that this is the year that the tide will be

0:16:26 > 0:16:33turned on corruption in South Africa's institutions.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36We must fight corruption, we must fight fraud and collusion,

0:16:36 > 0:16:41as well as in the private sector, with the same purpose and intensity

0:16:41 > 0:16:51that we want to fight it in the public sector.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54We must remember that every time someone receives a bribe,

0:16:54 > 0:16:59there is someone who is prepared to pay it.

0:16:59 > 0:17:07We will make sure that we deal with both of them.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10I spoke to Richard Dowden, a journalist in Africa for 20

0:17:10 > 0:17:13years and now Director of the Royal African Society

0:17:13 > 0:17:17in London, about his opinion on Mr Ramaphosa's speech.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22There will be a huge change, Cyril Ramaphosa has a very very strong

0:17:22 > 0:17:28vision and he has a terrific track record. He started as a trade union

0:17:28 > 0:17:37leader and completely outfoxed in 1986 the mining companies. He then

0:17:37 > 0:17:45became the main negotiator for the new South Africa and again the

0:17:45 > 0:17:52ruling apartheid took him and told him things like fly fishing witchy

0:17:52 > 0:17:58became very good at -- taught him things like fly fishing which he

0:17:58 > 0:18:06became very good at but when it came to the negotiations he outfoxed

0:18:06 > 0:18:12them, he's a very good communicator and a very good negotiator.You have

0:18:12 > 0:18:16met him, how does his temperament differ to his predecessor?He's a

0:18:16 > 0:18:21very calm person, when you meet him, when he talks to you he is totally

0:18:21 > 0:18:27focused on you, he doesn't just talk the sacred. Very precise -- just

0:18:27 > 0:18:33doesn't talk for the sake of it. He comes a very small ethnic group in

0:18:33 > 0:18:37South Africa in terms and he is not part of the big ethnic competition

0:18:37 > 0:18:43that is going on, he is outside that. When he went around after

0:18:43 > 0:18:48Mandela was released from prison, there were three people that went

0:18:48 > 0:18:52with him carrying his bag and one of those was the head of the military

0:18:52 > 0:18:57wing, he was murdered, the man who became husband and the third was

0:18:57 > 0:19:05Cyril Ramaphosa, -- who became president. Mandela wanted Cyril

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Ramaphosa to become his predecessor, we know.

0:19:09 > 0:19:19And now the sport.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29It was more than just a quarterfinal at the Rotterdam Open

0:19:29 > 0:19:30for Roger Federer tonight.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33He's beaten Robin Haase by two sets to one, but more importantly

0:19:33 > 0:19:35by doing so, he's regained the World Number One spot.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38And become the oldest man to hold that accolade.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41It was actually a double fault from Haase that handed match point

0:19:41 > 0:19:42to the 36-year-old Federer.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44But a very popular victory, the the crowd in Rotterdam loved it

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- and he was presented with a special award

0:19:47 > 0:19:48to mark the occasion.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Four senior West Bromwich Albion players have apologised

0:19:50 > 0:19:52after breaking a curfew and allegedly stealing a taxi

0:19:52 > 0:19:53from outside a fast-food restaurant in Barcelona.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55The team are bottom of the Premier League

0:19:55 > 0:19:58and were on a mid season training break in Spain.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Jonny Evans, Gareth Barry, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill have

0:20:00 > 0:20:02released a statement apologising for the incident.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Catalonia police interviewed but didn't arrest the players in

0:20:04 > 0:20:05the early hours of Thursday morning.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08The club say the players will be "subject to the full rigours of

0:20:09 > 0:20:10internal disciplinary procedures."

0:20:10 > 0:20:12It wasn't what we wanted. We've gone there to try and get ourselves up

0:22:38 > 0:22:49He is so cute and details are great, so funny.At the end of an

0:22:49 > 0:22:53exhausting day there is no gold-medal for the White Tiger, just

0:22:53 > 0:22:55satisfaction that he is adding to the carnival atmosphere at the

0:22:55 > 0:23:04games. That is all the sport for now.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06There's been a massive fall in the number of Orangutans

0:23:06 > 0:23:13on the island of Borneo.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15A study has found that within 16 years,

0:23:15 > 0:23:16the population there has halved.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21The researchers said that while deforestation

0:23:21 > 0:23:23was partly to blame, a large number of the animals

0:23:23 > 0:23:26were being killed by hunters or as punishment for raiding crops.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Zoo programmes like this preserve small populations

0:23:31 > 0:23:33of Bornean orangutans.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37But in the wild, they are being pushed rapidly towards extinction.

0:23:37 > 0:23:43Their rainforest home continues to be cleared

0:23:43 > 0:23:46for agriculture and mining, but a 16-year-long study has now

0:23:46 > 0:23:48revealed that Borneo's orangutans are disappearing from areas

0:23:48 > 0:23:49where the forest is untouched.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52They are being targeted by hunters.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Even in the areas where we think they're safe, we are losing them.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59And in some of the large populations where we have measured this loss,

0:23:59 > 0:24:01it's 50% over 16 years.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05It is an astonishing decline at the population level.

0:24:05 > 0:24:12Even without animals being deliberately killed,

0:24:12 > 0:24:14scientists estimate that deforestation alone could wipe out

0:24:14 > 0:24:19another 45,000 orangutans here in the next three decades.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22But this bridge-building project is a much-needed sign of hope.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Where the forest is fragmented by agricultural drainage ditches,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29a team from Chester Zoo and the Malaysian charity Hutan

0:24:29 > 0:24:35is physically reconnecting it with tough polyester straps.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37This remarkable footage captured by a tourist is the project's

0:24:37 > 0:24:47first sign of success.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51When these animals use their arms, they move around, they move that

0:24:51 > 0:24:53height, they swing in the forest canopy and that's what they

0:24:53 > 0:24:54rely on in the wild.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57The zoo has learned from that to build bridges that

0:24:57 > 0:24:59will reconnect that habitat, just like the ones

0:24:59 > 0:25:00in the zoo enclosure.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02To actually see them using them and moving more freely

0:25:02 > 0:25:04across this habitat, that is so fragmented,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06is a really positive sign.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09This is very much a short-term solution.

0:25:09 > 0:25:15The long-term solution is to reforest the area.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Palm oil grown here makes its way into a huge variety of our food

0:25:18 > 0:25:20and other products, so conservationists are urging us

0:25:20 > 0:25:24consumers to check it's sourced sustainably.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Our choices, scientists say, could decide whether there

0:25:26 > 0:25:30is a future for these critically endangered apes.

0:25:30 > 0:25:37Victoria Gill, BBC News.

0:25:39 > 0:25:45A reminder of our top story.

0:25:45 > 0:25:46The US special counsel investigating possible interference

0:25:46 > 0:25:48in the presidential elections, Robert Mueller, has brought charges

0:25:48 > 0:25:49against 13 Russian suspects.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52President Trump has tweeted again that his campaign did nothing wrong

0:25:52 > 0:25:57and that there was no collusion. That is the way it's looking. Thanks
