Welcome back to Outside Source. So Arabia's Foreign Minister has been

commenting on escalations with Iran. We will be cutting off all

commercial relations with Iran and we will have a travel ban against

people travelling to Iran. Two more European borders are tightened.

Sweden and Denmark are to take action. There are extra controls on

the commuter route between Malmo and Copenhagen. Rafa Benitez has been

sacked at Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane has taken over. And I have

been getting the low-down on four new elements that have been added to

the periodic table. Let's begin with more on our top

story. Several Arab nations have followed Saudi Arabia in either

limiting or severing diplomatic relations with Iran. All of this

began when Saudi Arabia executed a Shia cleric along with six others.

The embassy in Tehran was attacked by protesters. Our correspondent has

been in Saudi Arabia and Iran in the last few months and here is her

latest report. In Tehran today more angry protests

over the execution of a leading Sheikh Nimr's image now rises

from the growing crowds, taking to streets across the region

in Shia communities. The cleric was known

for his fiery speeches, He was executed on Saturday

for sedition and violence, a verdict the Saudi Justice Ministry

defended in a rare interview. He speaks with

simultaneous translation. As a spokesman of the judicial power

of Saudi Arabia I am not concerned As a judicial power or a judicial

branch week we execute, we apply the sharia law according

to the facts that we Two Sunni mosques attacked,

and a prominent pray leader killed And now Bahrain has followed

Saudi Arabia in ordering The United Arab Emirates

is limiting their numbers, The roots of this divide go back

centuries, to a seventh century battle over who should lead

the Muslim community, after the death of

the Prophet Muhammad. It split the faith into two main

branches, Sunni and Shia Islam, and then the issue of leadership

became intensely political, Iran's pledge to export

its revolution threatened its neighbours, but with last year's

historic deal to dismantle to dismantle its nuclear programme,

Iran was slowly returning They had just been persuaded

by the Americans that they should both be at the table

to resolve the Syria crisis, and now the possibilities

of resolving that crisis That is bad enough by itself,

but if this escalates, and there is some kind of war

directly between Iran and Saudi Arabia, currently it's

proxy war, then they have Iran and Saudi Arabia

are on opposing sides in the region's most destructive

wars in Syria and Yemen. Last year ended with cautious

hope in negotiations. This year has begun with growing

fear that the entire region is being dragged into

an even greater crisis. A couple of you have been messaging

me about this story. You may recall there has been

ongoing conflict in Yemen for months now. Saudi Arabia has been carrying

out air strikes. One of the targets had been Houthi rebels. It is

believed Iran is offering support to Houthi rebels. Whether the UK is

about to reassess anything with regards to Yemen, we cannot say what

the UK Government is going to do, but it has not commented on Yemen in

today's stop one other thing I wanted to highlight for you is a few

of you have been wondering about why Sudan has got involved in this

story. That connection between Sudan and

Iran is strong. Something we do not talk about a great deal in the news.

Do keep those questions coming, not just on that story but any of the

stories we are covering. I am surrounded by the best people to

answer your questions. Time for Outside Source sport. It didn't take

long for Rafa Benitez to go from being the new manager of Real Madrid

to the old one. He has been sacked, seven months after he started. Third

in La Liga evidently not good enough for our Madrid. Much more of a

surprise is that Zinedine Zidane is taking over. The row Madrid

President was at the press conference earlier. He does a lot of

hiring and firing. Here he is talking earlier. Today we have made

a difficult decision, especially for me. We have decided to terminate the

contract of Rafa Benitez as first-team coach.

I also want to announce that the club board has decided to appoint

Zinedine Zidane as the new coach of the first team.

So, Zinedine Zidane the new boss. Lee Foster can join us now. Nine

managers in ten years, not really the obvious way to run a football

club? It is brutal. When you take into

account Carlo Ancelotti, the predecessor of Rafa Benitez and Jose

Mourinho, they were there for five years. There is a rapid turnover at

Real Madrid. Rafa Benitez, he has the net seven months, only last

three matches in 25. They breezed into the last 16 of the Champions

League. Only four points off the top of La Liga, in third, surely still

time to turn it around, but there were grumblings and mumblings very

early on in his tenure, a month after him taking over. They didn't

see eye to eye. The 2-2 draw against Valencia at the weekend, Valencia

who are yet to win a match under their new manager Gary Neville. His

former Manchester United connections, unwittingly, put paid

to a former Liverpool boss in Rafa Benitez. That was a draw and pats

Rafa Benitez's pragmatic style of playing didn't sit to comfortably.

They have gone for an old favourite on the pitch in Zidane. We spoke

recently about super coaches and how about four or five guys scoop up the

big gigs. Now we have the big job going to summon it was never coached

at the highest level. Is a gamble but it is only in into Britain role.

He has been coaching the reserve team. -- it is only an interim role.

He has had an ambassadorial role before moving into coaching with the

B team. Five years as a player, won one title, the Champions League with

them in their first season. He has the fans onside already. He was an

absolute magician of the player, but you know what, you might find the

dugout little less forgiving. We shall see. It will be very

interesting. Thank you. All these interim managers at the moment. Next

we will talk about cricket and in particular the second Test between

South Africa and England. Yesterday it was all about Ben Stokes and that

astonishing 258. England ended up 629-6. If you are not into cricket,

that might be quite a number of you, let me tell you it is not a normal

score for any innings. It was South Africa's turn. Here is the latest

scoreboard for you. A good day for the South Africans. Hashim Amla

unbeaten on 157. England only took one wicket on the whole of day three

in Cape Town. That is not normal. South Africa ended 353-3. Unless the

pitch changes you would say draw looks likely. South Africa won down

in the four match series, which is living up to the hype. We can finish

the sport with a mention of an Australian boy with an eye for

publicity and watermelon. Have a look.

I've never seen that before in my life. Unbelievable. He is eating the

skin. This is Mitchell, he is ten and decided to eat not just some of

the watermelon but all of it, including the rind with the

intention of getting on the big screen. That worked, it really

worked. The hashtag watermelon boy was seen trending in Australia. He

told the BBC website about what he did and he told us it was a lot

harder than he thought it would be. He said he kept eating and eating.

The bit that tickled me with when he said he's not really a hero, a

normal, average kid. One good eye for self-promotion.

Let me give you a few details of what's coming up. We will be

learning about four new elements that have been added to the periodic

table. They only exist for a few moments, I have learned today!

Thousands of NHS junior doctors across England are set to go on

strike, after talks broke down with the government over a new contract.

The British Medical Association, which represents doctors, said its

members would provide emergency care from 8am next Tuesday with more

strikes in the coming weeks. The action is likely to lead to

thousands of nonemergency operations and appointments being cancelled.

The dispute centres around a new contract offered to NHS doctors. The

government says they are needed to create a seven day a week service.

Others say could lead to doctors being overworked as safeguards are

being weakened. Here is Jeremy Hunt, but first we can hear from the BMA's

Doctor Mark Porter. We have tried to make progress on the government is

insisting on plans we think are bad for patient care, junior doctors,

the NHS in the long term. I should say, we are really sorry about the

effect on patient care this is going to have but we feel the government

has left us with no choice. The government has said you reached an

agreement 15 out of 16 issues. Is that your understanding? That is

made up and I don't know where it comes from. This is about having a

safe contract, one is good for junior doctors and also good for

patients on the NHS in the long-term. I do not think we are

anywhere near reaching an agreement on that. Tell me a little bit about

the plans, for the strikes? We announce today strikes that will

take place over about four days, in the weeks to come. We have given

plenty of notice. We have given the legal minimum of notice but we have

also given the notice the service will need to read plan careful study

no junior doctor wants to take industrial action but we feel we

have been left with no choice in this. It is a very disappointing

outcome today, because we had 16 areas of disagreement and we think

we have found a solution on 15 of the 16. The one area that was not

resolved was pave unsocial hours, which we were prepared to negotiate

on. -- pay. But the BMA have chosen to walk out of the talks and call

industrial action. The reality is, we want to offer patients the same

high quality care in the NHS every single day of the week. In the last

six weeks alone we have had two more studies, showing mortality rates are

still higher at weekends to stop the right thing to do is to sit round

the table and to discuss that. We are here in the BBC newsroom on

Outside Source. Several countries have downgraded or severed the

dramatic ties with Iran after Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran was

attacked. Saudi Arabia executed a prominent Shia cleric. Let me tell

you could tell U what's coming up. Gun control in the US. It is

expected President Obama will very soon announce plans to bring in

tighter rules on the sales of arms. And next in the UK, the News at ten

with the latest report on the thousands of people still trying to

cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe.

Let's talk about sugar and how much children are eating, because it is

seen as being in increasingly important. Parents in England are

being urged to sign up for a free app on their smartphone which will

hop on cow played how much sugar that kids are eating. Here is our

health correspondent. -- to work out how much sugar. Kids eat and drink a

whopping 5543 sugar cubes. Young children typically eat three times

the recommended limit for sugar. This app, together with a new

advertising campaign, has been developed to raise awareness of how

much sugar is contained in food and drink, and to help people switch to

healthy or alternative. It works on more than 75,000 products, offering

a quick guide to help parents assess potential purchases which may harm

their children's health. A chocolate bar typically contained six cubes of

sugar. A small carton of juice more than five and more than nine in a

can of Coke, which exceeds the daily limit for children. If there's one

thing I would strongly encourage parents to do it is to swap those

sugary drinks out of their kids diets and give them a low sugar

drink or water, on low-fat milk, which would be an excellent choice.

Official figures suggest an average 4-10 year olds get through 22

kilograms of added sugar a year. Public Health England says parent

want help on how to cut sugar consumption on the trials have

worked well. Adam Brat Merlot, BBC News.

As promised we can talk about the four new elements which have been

added to the periodic table. No wonder this man has been smiling, he

was involved in the process. The interest in this story is amazing.

The most watched and most read story on a lot of websites. This is what

the periodic table has looked like since 2011.

when elements 114 and 116 were added,

and this is what it looks like today.

is now complete, and if we zoom in, you can see

the newly added elements are 113, which was discovered by a Japanese

team, and 115, 117 and 118, which were discovered by Russian

Those teams now get the chance to name them.

Rebecca Morelle, our global science correspondent.

She is very excited by this. She spoke to me earlier.

It's not like you're looking for a new element in nature, like you're

trying to find a new animal. Scientists have been making these in

the laboratory. They have been loosely discovered, actually they

have been created. You make them by taking two lighter elements and

putting them together. Out of that you get a bit of a mangled mess, but

also you might just get a few atoms of a new element, basically the two

lighter elements fused together. You only get a few atoms and they only

exist for a few tiny fractions of a second, but demonstrates has deemed

there is enough evidence to show that these new elements did exist,

even if it was only for a few fractions of a second, so they go in

the table. How does the table structure work? In 2011 there were

four gaps, so they knew something was coming? Exactly. What we don't

know is how far the periodic table and go on. We are up to element 118

and it is beautiful because it makes the periodic table really neat. Is

that the most important thing? It is very neat. It is nice. The elements

are arranged in terms of their chemical and physical properties. It

tells you something about it where it is place. 118, you know that

should be a noble gas. Because it only existed for a few millions

seconds, we can't test those properties, but it should follow

that pattern. What are the benefits to creating something that lasts for

a second or two? Very good question. Some people would say, does it

really matter? We're not going to be able to use these elements, but they

tell us a lot more about atoms. They tell us more about the elements and

about the physical structure. What is also really exciting is how far

can we go? There are teams of scientists at the moment trying to

create element 119. Can we go to 120? How heavy can you go with these

elements question market is very exciting to see how chemists are

pushing the limits. It is great. I am not surprised you are excited.

But have you been surprised by the interest this has generated? The

amount of information on how many people are consuming this story is

staggering. Everyone loves chemistry, don't they? It is

fantastic. Everyone remembers the periodic table from school. I had to

learn it for my degree. You would have to add a few elements to that

so it would be even harder to do it and I could not recite it now. The

periodic table is such a source of -- sort of beautiful way of

organising the elements. The fact it is growing is remarkable. It

certainly is. We can wrap up Outside Source with an interesting report on

the Welsh language. It is about whether it should be allowed to have

place names changed, because they are particular difficult to say,

changed to something easier. No say one group of campaigners.

Giving guests a taste of rural life, all creatures great and small.

Kate Clamp believes the name she's given her form fits perfectly.

Is she happy? She's very happy!

Happy Donkey Hill is on a West Wales farmstead, which dates back

For centuries, it had the name Faerdre Fach,

which is still written at the entrance.

But that's not the name Kate uses for her business.

Faerdre Fach - people can't spell it, they can't say it properly

and they definitely can't remember it.

So, in the world of internet marketing, you need something that

People have all heard of Coca-Cola or Jesus, it doesn't mean

they have to like them, but they all know who it is.

So it's just, it's a name brand and the name of the farm's

What name you give to a place has been a pretty political decision.

We found plenty of landmarks with the names seem to be changing.

For example, on Anglesey, if I can find it on here,

the beach at Porth Crugmor has become better known to people

as Cable Bay, because that's where the telegraph cable connects

Or over in Snowdonia, Cwm Cneifion, one of the highest

mountain valleys, has been called Nameless Cwm by some

because they can't pronounce the proper name.

Similar problems down in South Wales, in the Brecon Beacons,

where Cribarth Hill has become known as the Sleeping Giant to some

people, much to the consternation of campaigners.

This island here, Ynys Las, also that name has been

So, Ynys Las would be a sort of a green island

Those campaigners want a new law in Wales to stop changes being made,

concerned that some new names border on the ridiculous.

There's also a group of people who have come in and who call

But, you know, I'm almost reluctant to use the word because,

you know, these names can stick very, very easily.

Historian Rhian Parry argues that owning a place shouldn't mean

That should belong to everyone and be preserved.

They are linguistic monuments to our history.

And so, we would like them to be protected by law.

Back at the farm, Kate's adamant she's done nothing wrong.

The Welsh Government says it will consider legal protection

for place names but it could be hard to enforce.

And so, for now, she and her donkeys remain happy on this hill.

Just quickly back to our lead story, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Sudan

cutting ties with Iran. The answer is yes. Bahrain is a bit more

complicated. It has a majority Shia population, but those in power are

Sunni and are lined to Saudi Arabia in international affairs for stuff I

hope that helps. Thank you for watching. We are back at the same

time tomorrow. Speak to you then. This is a look at some of the

stories
