Welcome to our side source, and power of international news. We | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
start with what we know on the plane crash. Investigations into the plane | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
crash go on. Egypt and Russia cautioning against prejudging those | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
findings. David Cameron has reiterated the belief that a bomb is | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
the most likely cause. Sierra Leone will soon be declared Ebola free. We | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
have an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't think I'm giving | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
too much away by telling you that he thinks he is the best player in the | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
world. If you have got Bitcoins it has been a good week for you. The | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
price has spiked and we will tell you why. Let's go through where we | :01:19. | :01:36. | |
are on the Sinai plane crash. Thomson can confirm it will begin | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
returning customers to UK from Sharm el-Sheikh from tomorrow morning. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Special security measures mandated by the UK Government. Passengers | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
will not be able to bring any hold luggage, only hand luggage. Last | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
night we were talking about how the UK had suspended flights. It took | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
off headed north but crashed 20 minutes late into the Sinai desert. | :02:11. | :02:24. | |
Next, let me play you this from our correspondent at the airport. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Security measures have been extremely tight and here. On our way | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
to the airport we have seen a large number of checkpoints manned by | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
police and army forces, a heavy military presence around the airport | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
and inside we have seen long queues of passengers waiting to go back | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
home, most of them were Russians. Security checks are taking a much | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
longer time, so they had to wait for quite some time. I've spoken to some | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
of the British nationals who have been stranded here and they told me | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
that they came to the airport but their flights have been cancelled, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
so they had to register surnames so they could be taken to a nearby | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
hotel where they are going to stay, but they don't know how long and | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
actually their biggest concern of all is to know when they will be | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
able to go back home. They complained a lot about the lack of | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
information. While that is happening in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt's | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
President Sisi is on a preplanned visit here in London. Here are some | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
pictures of him emerging from the famous black door at Number Ten | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Downing St. Making sure the security guys perfectly lined up for the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
president to be ushered into the car. A slight smile there but | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
clearly this whole business has the potential to be reasonably awkward | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
for both the President and the Prime Minister. Robin Brant is live with | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
us from Westminster. How have the two men managed this tension today? | :03:57. | :04:11. | |
. They answer just one question. There's no doubt they feel | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
humiliated by what they see as a unilateral decision taken by the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
British government. Nonetheless David Cameron insisting that he | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
believes he has done the right thing, because he believes there was | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
information that came into the hands of the British government in their | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
last 48 hours or so, adding to a general accumulating picture overall | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
that led them to have grave concerns about the security of British people | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
trying to get home from Sharm el-Sheikh, so they took that | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
decision yesterday. Unprecedented really committed to spend the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
flights, to stop anyone British getting on a plane coming back to | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
this country. But in the last 24 hours, there have been discussions | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
between both the British officials and Egyptian officials here are | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
accompanying President Sisi on that visit. Also I think more crucially, | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
UK officials on the ground in Sharm el-Sheikh, officials from the | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Foreign Office, aviation experts and some security advisers and their | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Egyptian counterparts, to deal with some security concerns the | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
government has. We know those flights are going to be allowed to | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
resume tomorrow, so up to 20,000 British people will be allowed to | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
return home. The security measures in place to allow them to return | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
safely are extraordinary really. They will not be allowed to bring | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
big cases or big banks. That will come in separate flights later. They | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
will only be allowed to take hand luggage on those flights as they | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
begin to commence in the UK tomorrow. But it's not really | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
business as usual in terms of flights going between London and | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
sharm, because the Foreign Office making it clear to know that flights | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
from the UK out to Sharm el-Sheikh remain suspended and there is no | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
sign really as to when they will resume. Let's just pause and bring | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
together some of the main questions that this story is raising. Here is | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
our security correspondent Frank Gardner with some answers. I have no | :06:12. | :06:30. | |
more information than anybody does but certainly the UK Government | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
thinks it is more likely than the that somebody smuggled a bomb on | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
board that plane at Sharm el-Sheikh airport and they are just not | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
prepared to take the risk of somebody doing it again that is what | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
really happened. But Egyptian 's say it is premature and I put the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
question to President Sisi if he was agreeing with this and he said no, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
we're not prepared to reach any conclusions for the investigation is | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
complete. -- before it is complete. So-called Islamic State or Isis or | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
Daesh as it is called in Arabic, have twice claimed they were behind | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
the bringing down of this airline and they will announce in their own | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
good time how they did it. They've been quite cryptic about it. Egypt | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
have dismissed this as propaganda. The fact is they are very active in | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
the Sinai, in the area where this thing was brought down. So it's | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
clearly not a risk that Britain is prepared to dismiss. So whatever | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
Russia and Egypt decide, Britain has obviously unilaterally taken its own | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
decision here. If it is proved to be a bomb, and I'm not saying that it | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
is, but if it turns out forensically to be proved beyond doubt that it | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
was a bomb placed on board that airliner that brought it down, yes, | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
that is a game changer. Because Al-Qaeda has tried several times to | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
bring down airliners with bombs in the last few years. They've nearly | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
succeeded. There was the underpants bomber in Detroit in 2009 and two | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
other instances, but they haven't yet managed to do it. If Islamic | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
State were able to do this, that is a huge and very worrying game | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
changer. Let's update you on a story we work | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
covering yesterday. This rescue operation goes on at a Lahore | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
shopping bag factory. It collapsed yesterday and we know about 20 | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
people have died and many are still feared to be in the rubble. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Layer upon layer of brick, concrete and mangled metal is what remains of | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
this four-storey factory. Rescue workers are frantically trying to | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
pull those trapped from under the rubble. Some are believed to be | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
alive, still. It's a slow and gruelling operation. Sitting and | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
watching this, this mother of four. She told me all her sons were in the | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
factory. Three were injured and have been pulled out. The fourth, a | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
teenager, is still buried under the day -- the debris. One of the sons | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
told us what he saw. TRANSLATION: The roof collapsed over | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
my head. I felt the bricks falling on me and on the whole building | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
collapsed. I saw my brothers and many others buried under the rubble. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
It's believed that there were several children in the factory when | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
it collapsed, but government officials denied child labour | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
claims. We take strict action against child labour. It could have | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
been possible that a child was visiting his parents at that time | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
and the child was there. Bike the Labour Minister says an | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
investigation is under way to find out exactly what happened. As the | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
search for the bodies continues, it's unclear why this building | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
collapsed the way it did. Some say it was affected by the earthquake | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
which hit Afghanistan and Pakistan less than two weeks ago. But others | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
are saying this building was unfit for use long before that. Conditions | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
for factory workers in Pakistan are below standard. The government said | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
it will compensate families who have lost relatives in this tragedy. But | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
all they want to know is why their loved ones were put at risk in the | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
first place. In a few minutes we have got the | :10:33. | :10:45. | |
business, and one story we are certain to be covering is what is | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
happening to Bitcoin's value. It is an online currency, and it is | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
spiking. We will find out why. The Bank of England says inflation will | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
stay low for longer than previously thought and it has signalled that | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
interest rates are unlikely to rise until the end of the year. Governor | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Mark Carney gave his assessment during the release of an inflation | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
report. Inflation remains close to zero. I have written an open letter | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
to the Chancellor explaining why and what we intend to do about it. The | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
NPC is voted -- has voted by a majority of eight to one to maintain | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
the bank rate at no .5%, and to maintain the purchase assets at 375 | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
billion. Once again, as it has since last year, we have reaffirmed our | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
expectation that when bank rate rises occur, they can be expected to | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
be limited and gradual. More fundamentally, monetary policy must | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
continue to balance two fundamental forces, domestic strength and | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
foreign weakness, in order to return inflation to a target sustainable | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
manner. Thanks for joining me for today's | :11:57. | :12:09. | |
Outside Source. Let's look through some of our main stories. Several | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
airlines have announced flights to return British tourists from Sharm | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
el-Sheikh to the UK. David Cameron says it is increasingly likely that | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
the bomb -- a bomb brought down the Russian plane over Egypt on | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Saturday. And we're working with close to 30 languages here on BBC | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
news and on the foreign service, the Chinese president is in Vietnam, the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
first Chinese president to visit in a decade. The two countries have | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
close economic ties but wings are, located by territorial disputes. BBC | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
Bernie 's is focused on the weekend's elections in me and Mark. | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
-- BBC Burmese. C has said if her party wins she will place herself | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
above the government. Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has been placed under | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
formal investigation in France, to do | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
OK, time for business. Let's stay in Egypt which is the focus of our lead | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
story at the moment. Tourism is absolutely crucial to Egypt's | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
economy and Sharm el-Sheikh is at the heart of it. We have seen | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
visitor numbers dropped elsewhere in the country because of security | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
issues in recent years, but they have held firm in Sharm el-Sheikh, | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
which has up until now been shielded from them. Here are the key numbers | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
behind this industry. All the while we have got social | :13:41. | :14:52. | |
media coming into us on the stories we're covering. Vice news is getting | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
at the story that Bitcoin has seen its value spike by up to 50% this | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
week. It raises also soft questions. Before we get into this week, for | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
people who don't know bitcoin, what is it? Well, acrid tempting is | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
basically a currency that exists on computers around the world and it | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
can exist on exchanges where the value is determined by different | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
markets. Though it's not a normal market, it's very much an experiment | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
at this point and really it's a vehicle for moving money around the | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
world quickly and anonymously via the web. You don't need third-party | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
notification for it. For a lot of people who like to trade, it's very | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
attractive in that sense. The people who like to movement around, it's | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
attractive in that sense as well. The sterling and the dollar and | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
other currencies go up and down but not like this. So what is going on? | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
I remember in 2013 when Bitcoin took a run from $13 to a high of over | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
$1000. This is not quite like that but we are still seeing some very | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
active movement here. People are pointing to a few things. There is a | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
lot of Asian trading and that is a big part of the surge. The | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
government has control the amount of money that can be moved out of | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
China, so a lot of people are turning to Bitcoin to get out of | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
that. People have also pointed to a Russian pyramid scheme that some | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
Chinese investors might being gauged in, which they say could also be one | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
of the reasons. Others are sceptical about it, saying Bitcoin is always | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
volatile and in attention it is getting from the media. Wall Street | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
is getting really interested in the technology behind Bitcoin. They are | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
saying this all contributes to the surge we are seeing. Does this all | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
take us a step closer to Bitcoin being just another currency, or are | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
there still fundamental differences between it and the ones we all know? | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
That is the kind of million-dollar question in the bait that has always | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
been surrounding Bitcoin. If you ask JP Morgan's Jamie Diamond, he | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
doesn't think it is going to take off. For a lot of people there are | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
still the issue is about illegal activity around Bitcoin. Silk Road | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
was shut down by the US government and they used Bitcoin to buy drugs | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
and illegal goods. Once that was shut down, several other ones just | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
popped up. I think there is just so much regulation that still has to go | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
into it and I think the jury -- the jury is still out on what the future | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
of Bitcoin might be. Thank you very much. Eddy of times on Outside | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Source we have had stories about drones, small drones, personal | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
drones. Always safety is the big concern. However small these drones | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
are, most of them would hurt if they hit us. Researchers at MIT in the US | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
are trying to address that concern. Look at this report. | :18:10. | :18:42. | |
Lots of people are building drones right now but it's a problem when | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
they hit things. Making sure we can move them around trees and objects | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
and making sure they are safe for people and the environment is really | :18:57. | :18:57. | |
important. Now, I want to quickly show you some | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
pictures of what is happening in London this evening. These are some | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
of them. It's from what's being called the million masked March. It | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
is an anti-capitalism March organised via the group called | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Anonymous. It started off peacefully but it did not stay peaceful for the | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
whole time. You see the scuffles there. After a little while, that | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
happened, which was a flair and a police car was set alight at one | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
point. That was happening down in Westminster. If I just show you | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
where we are in the BBC newsroom, going across to my left, that is the | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
exit and entrance to the BBC, if you walk out there and walk a few | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
meters, you would see this outside. This is the Piazza outside the BBC | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
building, and you would see a large police presence because it is | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
expected that protesters may be gathered there. You can see the | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
police there but no protesters there in any great numbers. We will have | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
to see how that pans out in the next few minutes. We will keep you posted | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
on that. There has been a leak at the Vatican and the commission Pope | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
Francis created to clean up the Vatican is actually the source. | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
Here's James Reynolds. Pope Francis is happy to put himself | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
on parade. But he will be less thrilled that private Vatican | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
documents have also been given their own public display. The Pope has | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
promised to change the way his citystate is run. He wants to get | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
rid of intrigue and mismanagement. The leak of secret documents shows | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
the scale of the task Francis faces. The Vatican has arrested two former | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
members of a reform commission, a priest and an Italian lay woman, on | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
suspicion of passing documents to two reporters. Gianluigi Nuzzi is | :21:10. | :21:24. | |
one of them. He leaked infighting among Vatican officials. | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
TRANSLATION: Pope Francis is not much loved by the high prelates. You | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
can see that in the book. When the Pope wants to carry out his reforms, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
the bureaucracy at the Vatican is very powerful and it is able to | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
block change. It's also able to save the best homes for itself. The | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
leaked documents reveal that a charity spent 200,000 euros doing up | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
a rooftop Vatican apartment for a retired Cardinal. By contrast, the | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Pope himself lives next door in a small set of rooms in this | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
guesthouse. The big question once more is, how damaging is this to the | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
Pope and his bigger vision of reform for the church? And I don't think | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
it's that important in this regard. He talks about an accident prone | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
church, Abe Church that is willing to make mistakes -- a church that is | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
wooing to make mistakes and leave this behind. It's not essential to | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
have ornate buildings, the main thing is preaching the gospel. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
This, the smallest state on earth, resists most attempts at reform. For | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Pope Francis, the rest of the world could be easier than the Vatican. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
If you have ever watched any major sporting event in America, it is | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
very likely you will have witnessed some display of patriotism, often | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
military patriotism. Flags, anthems, maybe a Veterans Parade. It turns | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
out that some of those things are being paid for by the Pentagon. This | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
is the front page of a Senate report into this. Details of $7 million | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
worth of taxpayer funded military advertising since 2012. We pulled | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
out one quote from it describing unsuspecting audience members were | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
coming the suspect of paid marketing campaigns rather than simply bearing | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
witness to teams's authentic shows of support. The amount of money | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
involved in this is significant. Most of the military advertising | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
went to American football teams in the NFL. The top earners Barnard | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
words yet Atlanta Vulcans, aching at $879,000. The New England Patriots | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
were the next highest, $700,000. In total, the Pentagon signed 72 | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
separate contracts for teams across all major American sports. Let's | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
bring in our correspondent live from Washington. There will be people | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
watching this around the world kind of going what? But two Americans, | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
would they have had an inkling that this was going on? I don't think so. | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
It blends right into the whole games process. You have the unfolding of | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
the flag at the beginning of the game, you have the Jumbotron showing | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
troops. I don't think they realise that these were paid advertisements. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
But in some ways the fact that these things happen isn't a surprise | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
because it seems to me whenever I go to a sporting event in the States, | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
they choose to, they are not being paid to express their patriotism but | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
it is part of your sporting culture? It is. We've been playing the | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
national anthem for 100 years before football and baseball games. The | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
World Series have red white and blue bunting. The players have run out | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
holding American flags before. Is the problem that this is happening | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
or that people weren't told it was happening? I think the resentment is | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
that people weren't told and they also look at the government and they | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
are angry that the government is spending all this money. They look | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
at the sports owners and they are lining their pockets with millions | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
of dollars and advancing it to make it seem like a legitimate showing of | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Patriots support. Thank you very much indeed. Let me quickly put up | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
the Outside Source Quad here on the screen. This is a report on Sierra | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
Leone, trying to be Ebola free by Saturday, fingers crossed it will | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
manage it. Also an extended report on how violence in and around | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Jerusalem is affecting everyday lives. Expect both of those in the | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
next half hour. Thanks for joining me. Come with me | :25:58. | :26:12. | |
if you will on a voyage from the | :26:13. | :26:13. |
