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.
