beneath the hills of indonesia. live from our studio in singapore. this is bbc news, it's newsday. the facebook whistle—blower, frances haugen, will give evidence to british mps in the coming hours. she's in london to give her view on the uk government's plans to regulate social media. it will be the first public evidence she's given in europe regarding her experiences at the company when frances how gun spoke to the us congress earlier this month, she claimed facebook consistently chose to maximise its growth rather than implement safeguards on its platforms. and she also said "during my time at facebook, i came to realise a devastating truth: almost no—one outside of facebook knows what happens inside facebook". facebook hit back, saying that it "cares deeply about issues like safety, well being and mental health." frances though said the company's apps harm children's mental health. since arriving in the uk she's met the campaigner, ian russell. his 14—year—old daughter, molly, took her own life, after viewing disturbing content on instagram, which is owned by facebook. angus crawford has more. she's the former facebook insider who revealed its most closely guarded secrets. 14—year—old molly russell... he's the father who lost his daughter to suicide. now campaigning to protect other children online. nice to meet you. today they met for the first time. so what do you think the impact of molly's story was on instagram as a platform and how it approaches safety? facebook is full of kind, conscientious, well—meaning people. the real question is around, can we as a public change the incentives such that it makes more sense for facebook to invest more money in safety on instagram? so i'm sure that molly's... the experience that molly had, caused them to look at these questions more. at the same time, we need way more invested in this, because we need to make more progress faster. one of the things that lead us to find out more about molly was some notes that she'd left that were found after she died. and in one of them she wrote, "i keep a lot to myself and it keeps building up inside. you get addicted to it and you don't even realise you've spun out of control. you're living in a trap, in a circle." what's so dangerous about having children under the age of 16, under the age of 18, using systems like instagram, is that facebook�*s own research shows that a startlingly high fraction of them exhibit what is known as "problematic use," which means that they can't regulate their own usage of the product. it's kind of like cigarettes in that way. and they know it's hurting their physical health, their schoolwork or their employment. as time goes on as a parent bereaved — as time goes on as a parent bereaved by the suicide of his 14 —year—old, i look at the huge _ 14 —year—old, i look at the huge corporation with massive resources _ huge corporation with massive resources and say, there must be more — resources and say, there must be more you can be doing. unquestionably facebook could be investing more resources in making the platform safer. they have made a series of choices to prioritise profits over people. to prioritise profits over

transparency. in a statement facebook said... a whistle—blower and a campaigner with one aim — to make social media a safer place. angus crawford, bbc news. i spoke with technology journalist, will guyatt. and former european communications managerfor communications manager for instagram which communications managerfor instagram which of course is owned by facebook. i asked what we can expect when francis speaks to british mps on monday. i think the british mps will be looking to try and lean this back to the proposals for the uk's online safety bill which is every potential to be the first of these kinds of rules that is going to legislate against tech companies being introduced. i can't imagine she's going to reveal any kind of new documents or information that she hasn't shared before. because this is a very carefully orchestrated pr and communications campaign. that's not to belittle what she's doing and the fact that she speaking out but there are both sides of this argument releasing information and replying in certain ways to try and force certain conversations. that might sound cryptic but i guess what i'm trying to say is there are two sides to every story. i know that facebook would not facebook a very concerned about what she's going to say and also what people like me as an ex employee of the company are saying about facebook right now. and we need to see what comes out of this tomorrow. it's very hard to defend facebook. i spent a number of years there and the people who work on these platforms care about the users and they care about improving the experiences deeply. but facebook does put profit before people because it's a private company. show me one and it doesn't. that's the challenge. may be regulations from an external party might help. you'll find lots more on a website including look at at the science of social media addiction. that's all on the bbc website. that's all on the bbc website. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines... the conflict in northern ethiopia is intensifying, with government forces launching two air strikes on rebel positions in the north and west of tigray. the government called the operation a success, saying it had hit military facilities used by the tigray people's liberation front. a tplf spokesperson said only a disused factory was struck a container ship off canada's pacific coast is continuing to burn despite efforts by response vessels to put out the fire. sixteen people have been evacuated from the zim kingston ship, which is emitting toxic gas. officials insist there is no safety risk to people on land. the ship was en route to vancouver when it caught fire late on saturday. the canadian coastguard say the vessel is carrying more than 52 thousand kilogrammes of chemicals located in two of the containers that are on fire. the military authorities in myanmar have condemned the united nations after it warned of an impending mass atrocity in the northwest where the army appears poised for an offensive against resistance fighters. the junta's representative on foreign affairs said the statement was an incitement to violence, and that the un was using human rights as a tool to intervene in myanmar. one of colombia's most wanted drug traffickers is facing extradition to the us after being captured in a major international operation. dairo antonio usuga, known as otoniel, was found hiding in thejungle near the colombia/panama border. hundreds of special forces troops from the us, uk and colombia took part in the mission. katy watson reports. this was a huge feet for the bays authorities. after years of attampts finally got him. the head of a powerful criminal organisation involved in a long list of activities from drug and people trafficking, illegal gold mining to extortion. the golf clan is a heavily armed and dangerous gang and this is the man at the top. otoniel was a very wanted man. columbia had offered a reward of $800,000 for information on his whereabouts. the us had a $5 million bounty on his head too. but despite his notoriety, this is a country where drug lords can sometimes be seen as celebrities. soldiers couldn't resist documenting this big moment. translation: known as otoniel, has been captured. _ this is the biggest blow against drug trafficking in our country this century. this blow is only comparable to the fall of pablo escobar in the 1990s. 0toniel was captured in a rural hideout in the north—west of the country. close to the border with panama. it was an operation involving 500 soldiers, 22 helicopters, and one policeman was killed. translation: we were clear he was moving with security | teams separated by one to 3km each. we began an important satellite work against him with agencies from the united states and the united kingdom where with each movements with trace analysts, with communications, more than 50 experts in signal intelligence permanently covering that area with an exact coverage that allowed us to indicate were his movements were, to get him from his hiding place. 0toniel faces cocaine trafficking charges as well as the recruitment of children. indicted in the us in 2009, he also faces extradition proceedings that could eventually see him face justice in new york. katy watson, bbc news. eight us eight us navy reservist who served in columbia, he explained what might happen next. with hundred and 28 judicial orders against him there's no doubt that he will be spending the rest of his life in prison. but his extradition to the united states before colombianjustice is a priority for the government for two reasons. first the colombians prisons are overcrowded and notoriously corrupt and there is a risk that 0toniel in colombian prison authorities might not be able to gather sufficient intelligence from him if there is a threat against his life or ask circumstances which he might be able to escape was up but secondly the administration is trying to co—operate with the us government after an incident last year in which member of the party were on the record as having campaigned on the behalf of president trump's. as a consequence the biden has given the cold shoulder to the administration and right now in recent weeks been seeing a attempt to return to a more cooperative special relationship that it has traditionally enjoyed. 0toniel is a huge household name in columbia. he is being compared to pablo escobar, how much does this capture impact the trade of cocaine? i don't believe this will necessarily affect the trajectory of the drug war in any meaningful way. cocaine production in columbia have been on the rise year after year since 2012. we seen any number of any major actors in the drug war neutralised over that period. what this really reinforces is that in order to deal with the drug war, in order to deal with the threat by illicit narcotics we really need to focus on demand. that is something secretary blink and underscored blinken underscored in his visit to columbia. there is a shared responsibility on part of the countries that consume drugs, europe and the united states and countries that are sourced countries for illicit narcotics with a big part of that equation in columbia is restoring the presence of the colombian state where areas that is absent. not just talking about the restoration of security were also talking about prosperity, creating opportunities for cocoa farmers to do other things. crop substitution and importantly providing the infrastructure to get there illicit products to market. you're watching you stay on bbc. we get rare access to this remarkable find. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited forfor

there. authorities are perjuring all regions calling for people to stop travelling across the provinces. china is one of the last few countries in asia trying to stamp out covid with a zero covert

painting in indonesia. a panel showing wild pigs believed to have been made 45,500 years ago was found in a cave in a remote valley on the island of sulawesi. previously, rock art found in european sites were considered to be the world s oldest narrative artworks. bbc indonesia was given rare access to film inside the cave. rebecca henschke reports. here in this remote valley is the worlds oldest known painting of animals. the discovery made by a doctoral student at australia's griffith university. translation: on a map we found this unique location. _ the area is surrounded by mountains and in the middle there is this valley. so we were curious and decided to explore. the name means buffalo cave. during the monsoon this area easily floods. so in the past our ancestors kept the buffaloes inside the cave to protect them. 50 metres inside the cave they found this panel that appears to tell the story of wild pigs fighting. translation: the panel expresses quite - a complex narrative. two boars are painted on top of each other. if we look closely at pigs it looks like the artist has used a brush dipped into paint to make the strokes on the cave wall. we see a different style with the hands. it appears as if a spray technique was used. they put their hands on the wall and then sprayed the pigment on. using a uranium series isotope dating technique it's been revealed that it was made more than 45,000 years ago. translation: it says - if the painting wants to show the animals are moving. the fact that the artist could create such an imaginative work from 45,000 years ago is truly extraordinary. the team of archaeologists behind the discoveries are even older paintings may be found in nearby case. this ancient art a source of great national pride. translation: these cave art is really unique. - nothing quite like it in the world. so i tell young people in your blood are these clever genes, brilliant genes. it proves that 45,000 years ago your ancestors made this incredibly clever paintings. researchers are warning that the art is decaying at an alarming rate due to the effects of climate change. rising temperatures causing these ancient paintings to crumble. what a remarkable story and really amazing pictures they are. you might expect a trafficjam on the streets of madrid. a sheepjam, though, could catch you by surprise. but parts of the spanish capital were left baa—dly congested as hundreds of sheep passed through its bustling city centre. it's all part of an annual event designed to pay homage to the area's rural heritage. it sits on an ancient migration route where shepherds would move their livestock south for the winter. a reminder of our top story: the facebook whistle—blower says the death of the british teenager molly russell forced the company to ask questions about children's safety on instagram, which it owns. frances haugen, who's in london to speak to mps, spoke to molly's father, ian russell. the teenager took her own life after viewing content about depression, suicide and self—harm on the app. earlier this month, haugen, who worked as a product manager that's all the time we have thanks forjoining us. please stay with bbc news. hello there. we're starting the new week off on a sunshine and showers theme. we'll have plenty of showers across southern and western areas. a lot of central and eastern parts will tend to stay dry with a good deal of sunshine around. it's going to be breezy for all, quite windy in the north and the west because we'll be close to this area of low pressure which is anchored to the north of the uk. so you can see quite a few isobars on the chart, these weather fronts enhancing the shower activity as they move from west to east. and we're in a mild air mass, as you can see from the yellow and orange colours. so then we start monday off on a fine note across central and eastern areas, dry with some sunshine. there will be showers from the word go across western areas. these will tend to become more widespread, very frequent across the north—west of scotland. merging together to produce longer spells of rain, quite cloudy too. some heavy ones as well across the south of england. some of these could contain some hail and thunder. a few getting in towards the east on this strong west south—westerly breeze, but many eastern areas should stay dry. and it will be windy, particularly around coasts of scotland, particularly the northern and western isles. temperatures mild again in the south, 14 to 16 celsius, maybe a little bit fresher across scotland and northern ireland. as we move through monday night, it stays breezy, lengthy clear spells, further showers. these showers will tend to fade away because we'll start to see this weather front approaching northern ireland and western scotland later in the night to bring some windy weather, more cloud and more persistent rain around. it's going to be another pretty mild night to come, temperatures no lower than around 6 or 7 celsius. so here is the pressure chart for tuesday. we've got a pretty vigourous area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk. this weather front will be affecting more northern and west parts of the country. further south and east you are, close to this area of high pressure over the near continent, then it is likely to stay largely dry. but it will be a breezy day wherever you are. like i mentioned, staying largely dry with some sunny spells across southern and eastern areas. cloudier further north and west, outbreaks of rain, some heavy and persistent, particularly across western hills, northern and western scotland, perhaps into north—west england, north west wales at times. it will be pretty cloudy and dull, but look at these temperatures. despite the cloud and rain in the north, all the sunshine in the south, looking at temperatures a good five degrees above average. it's very mild as we move into the middle part of the week. further wet and windy weather across north—western areas, and by friday, it looks like some of that wet weather will reach southern and eastern parts as well. see you later. this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk i am stephen sackur. in all cultures, all languages, there are writers whose imaginations prompt them to challenge the status quo. in democracies, they are called critical voices. in authoritarian regimes, they are labelled enemies of the
