Imeges that may cause concern in Syria and far beyond, amid fears that an old enemy could exploit fresh turmoil.
NÀmÀ kuvat, joita jÀtetÀÀn sosiaalisessa mediassa, sopivat nÀyttÀmÀÀn kaosia Al-Hal-kampun ympÀrillÀ. Se kÀsittelee noin 25 000 henkilöÀ, jotka ovat uskottaneet IS-kampuja. Video on epÀonnistunut. Emme voi olla varmoja, onko joku mennyt Al-Hal-kampuun.
TÀmÀ oli se, kun me kuvailimme siellÀ toukokuussa. Ekstremismi ja desolaatio. Camp officials said children were being raised to be so-called cobs of the caliphate.
Pohjimmilta jÀrjestÀjiltÀ rauhoittaminen. Olemme saaneet rauhoittamisen, koska tÀmÀ alue on vaarallinen. Mutta on varma, ettÀ syrjÀ-kurdilaiset vallat, SDF, jotka pysyivÀt kampun turvassa, ovat menneet. Damaskus kertoo, ettÀ se on pysÀhtynyt rauhan jÀrjestÀjille.
Yksi tunti myöhemmin Al-Shadada-vastuussa ilmestyneitÀ sÀÀntöjÀ. Yksityiskohtaiset IS-kirjailijat jÀtti heidÀt takaisin. JÀrjestelmÀ sanoo, ettÀ sÀÀntöjÀ on nyt valmisteltu. 81 kestÀvÀÀ on taisteltu uudelleen, 40 kestÀvÀÀ on edelleen. Tarkoitukset ovat, ettÀ paljon suurempia kestÀvÀt.
And how secure are other IS prisons, including the largest, al-Sanah? The detainees we filmed here are suspected of being with the Islamic State group until its last stand. For now there are no reports of incidents at al-Sanah.
Syrian government forces have been sweeping forward, forcing the Kurds to retreat. So far a show of strength for Damascus. But there are risks this internal conflict could escalate. Risks too that IS and its sleeper cells will benefit.
To Iran now. Several thousand people are thought to have been killed by the Iranian security forces in recent anti-government protests. Many relatives have found it difficult to identify their loved ones who died. Photos leaked to BBC Verify show the faces of hundreds of people killed in the violent crackdown. The images were displayed in a South Tehran mortuary and were one of the few ways to identify the dead. Merlin Thomas reports.
Kuukausia kuvia, joita BBC Verifyin leikkii, osoittavat vahvistuneita, syrjintÀvihoita ja syrjintÀvihoita noin 326 sydÀntÀ, joista 18 on naisia. Olemme kertoneet, ettÀ siellÀ oli kaosin sisÀllÀ. Suomalaiset ja ystÀvÀt olivat ylöspÀin, yrittÀen tunnistaa omaa ystÀvÀÀnsÀ kuukausiaan.
Many photos showed unzipped body bags with papers laid close to their faces, identifying them by their name, ID number or date of death. One man's face is so swollen his eyes were barely visible. Another man still has a breathing tube in his mouth, suggesting he died after receiving medical treatment. The slideshow is said to have lasted for hours, with the injuries of many victims so severe that the people couldn't be identified.
Labels on more than a hundred victims showed the date they died as the 9th of January, one of the deadliest nights for protesters in Tehran so far. These leaked photos provide a small snapshot of the thousands believed to have been killed at the hands of the Iranian state. Merlin Thomas
Still to come in this podcast. I had one cow once come to the house to remind me that I hadn't given her the food I normally gave her at tea time because I'd been distracted by some visitors. She worked out how to come and find me, which I thought was extraordinary. We hear about how cows might be more intelligent than anyone previously thought. And a robotic hand that might be able to outperform its human counterpart.
This is the Global News Podcast. It's been more than 30 years since the Nigerian environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues, known as the Ogoni Nine, were convicted of murder. They were then hanged by the military regime which ruled Nigeria at the time.
Monet uskovat, ettÀ Ogoni 9 oli pahannut leading protests against the operations of oil multinationals, particularly Shell in Nigeria's Ogoniland. The drilling there stopped in 1993, but the environmental damage there continued.
Now the current government is in talks to restart oil drilling in the area. With the cleanup ongoing decades later, is the community welcoming this new development? Helena Yibo reports from Ogoniland in Rivers State, Nigeria.
Minun isÀni ja kahdeksan ystÀvÀni eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia. He eivÀt olleet vÀkivaltaisia.
Ken was executed along with eight of his colleagues for the alleged murder of four local chiefs. The families of the Ogoninan, as they became known, claimed their execution was carried out to silence their activism against Shell's oil pollution in the Niger Delta. Frequent oil spills were causing soil and water contamination, forcing communities to drink toxic water and destroying fishing livelihoods.
The protest led to Shell suspending its operations in Oguniland by 1993. But 30 years on, the community continues to live with the impact of the oil pollution. Pipelines still run through Oguniland and risk leaking oil.
In 2008 there was a massive oil spill that devastated this community. It lasted for four months. The fishermen couldn't fish, the mangrove was destroyed and the birds and crabs went away. The Ogonis have for decades been fighting for a holistic clean-up to happen. But things like this from Bodo and communities around shows that much more needs to be done. And although clean-up is currently ongoing, the community says it is slow, inadequate and not a picture of what justice should look like.
Shell has always maintained that the extent of the pollution is caused by the scourge of oil theft and illegal refining. We met local farmer, Ledisi Nomkia. As we talk, she points at the pale sickly leaves at a cassava farm, showing the impact the oil spill has had on their farmlands.
