Inside the secret factories making Britain’s fake cigarettes – Behind The Investigation | BBC News
One in every six cigarettes smoked in the UK is counterfeit.
In this episode of BBC News Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith talks to File on 4 Investigates reporter Jane Deith about how the team uncovered the global criminal networks flooding Britain with fake cigarettes, and the human cost behind every cheap pack.
Jane explains how the team traced the supply chain from secret factories in Belgium to corner shops, minimarts and cash and carries across the UK.
We also look at why gangs are moving from drugs to fake cigarettes. A former senior Europol official says they now make as much money as they do from drugs, with far lower prison sentences if they’re caught. The profits are being used to fund weapons, people smuggling and even terrorism.
Do people really know what they’re funding when they buy cheap cigarettes?

Now, he says he wants to “deepen” the UK’s relationship with the EU at a summit in Brussels next month. Adam, Chris and Faisal Islam discuss if he has Brexit strategy, what it might be, and what it could mean for the next general election.
Plus, Faisal is in Bangkok where the International Monetary Fund has upgraded its UK growth forecast for the year. He outlines the outlook for the UK and how it fits in with the global picture.

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.
Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.
The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.
The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

He's been on trial since being
President. If he wins the presidency next time, he will turn the table, on the undemocratic Biden clan, however creepy Joe will be deemed, not fit to plead in a court of law, nice acting Joe.

Haha. Ridiculous reporting. BBC you should be ashamed. You ran with the lie "Trumps a racist and a Russian asset," for years and now that he claimed the election was stolen, you dont even mention Biden saying he actually stole the election.
This will age so badly for you. 😂

The Supreme Court will throw out these ridiculous charges, obviously politically motivated as theyve waited till now to bring them when he's running for President again.
BBC of course totally biased and dont mention that all of these charges are a joke and go against all legal precedents and cant even be brought by these courts.

Hopefully around the same time as the Biden Crime Cartel currently the subject of congressional hearings. You the BBC seem to overlook the fact that the leader of the so called free world is implicated in a Bribery scandal involving millions of dollar's.

Recent attention should be paid to the relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and Saudi Arabia, as well as the fact that many CCP officials have opened Chinese Communist Party officials in Hong Kong, which continue to supply weapons and cutting-edge products to Russia through foreign companies. And these countries, using their status as democracies as covers, are engaged in providing important sources of weapons for the CCP. Only by letting the economic collapse of the CCP state, letting the Chinese people know the truth, and breaking the net wall of the CCP, can the brainwashed Chinese people expose the uprising and overthrow this evil party. In addition, Microsoft Bill Gates and Musk, Zuckerberg, Gou Taiming TSMC and Wall Street and other people continue to help the CCP for the sake of interests, if not actively cut off the CCP's economy, the CCP will not fall, but continue to threaten the democratic and free world.

The BBC have always been anti Trump , they hate him , and that is because of their politics !They are not in the least bit unbiased and haven't been for years .What the Biden regime is doing is massive election interference and everyone knows it , by their witch hunt against Donald Trump they are stupidly making him even more popular because folk can see what is going on . Biden and his crime family didn't even win the election fair and square , they now know a lot about how to rig a ballot and have put it to use .I am very serious about this , the corruption from the Left is massive , they are not good people and they don't believe in any kind of democracy or freedom of "We the people " none of it ! What they want and are trying very hard to accomplish is a S. American style Banana Republic which we are very familiar with .

They are sweating because if Trump gets into power in 2024 a lot of these people are facing jail time. He will move mountains to get to the truth and they no it. What's his lead now over Biden. Looks like its going to be a whitewash for the Dems and Biden. Who will most defiantly be facing some serious charges if Trump gets into power. Trump is not stupid and very patriotic towards the people and the USA. All these charges are for is Political Theatre in the run up next year. They cannot call on Covid and Postal Votes this time round.

Political persecution. Everything the other side accused Trump of doing when he got into office, they're the ones who are actually doing it.
The U.S. is nothing but a banana republic now. The institutions such as academia, judicial, government, big tech and media have been infiltrated by far-left extremists that are trying to cause a collapse of capitalist societies so that they can swoop in and take over and they're doing it so openly because they know they've all got each other's backs.
Unless they re-elect Trump and he goes scorched earth and pushes back hard against those trying to to bring down the country from the inside then second civil war in the U.S. is inevitable in my opinion.

All a distraction from the investigations into the Biden family corruption. Durham proved that the Obama administration lied about the Russia Collusion the Demoncrats spent 4 years trying to overturn Trumps election with fake evidence payed for by Hillary Clinton and they all knew yet Obama allowed the FBI CIA DOJ DOD and the rest to continue with it.
