Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The World Health Organisation says the Zika virus is likely to spread | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
to nearly every country in the Americas. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
The virus is spread by mosquitoes and can cause brain abnormalities | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The US Treasury is accusing Vladimir Putin of corruption, saying he has | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
used his power to amass a secret fortune. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
In a moment I'll show you this report from Afghanistan | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
on the presence there of the so called Islamic State. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
The BBC has been to speak to an IS commander. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
And the latest from the Australian Open in the sport. | :00:53. | :01:11. | |
Inevitably in the last year or so we have talked most days about Islamic | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
State. When we do we yet intend to focus on Iraq and Syria. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
But this time we're going to look at its increasing | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
The reason is that the BBC has spoken to an IS commander there. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
As you'll see in this report from Justin Rowlatt. | :01:32. | :01:43. | |
The propaganda images are all too familiar. But these pictures weren't | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
shot in the Islamic State stronghold in Syria and Iraq but more than 1500 | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
miles away in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan. IS has seized | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
territory in three districts, and has struck within an hour of Kabul. | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
The police acknowledge it is only a matter of time before IS attacks the | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
city and the threat isn't just here in Afghanistan. The Pentagon | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
analysis is clear. It says Isis is openly fighting the Taliban to | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
create a safe haven in the mountains in the east of the country, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
potentially a second stronghold from which to launch attacks across the | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
world. So how serious a threat is IS in Afghanistan? To answer that, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
you'd need to leave couple. And I S Commander has agreed to talk to an | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Afghan colleague. The ragtag bunch of fighters he meets isn't nearly as | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
impressive as the propaganda videos. This man struggles to assemble his | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
AK-47. But they do talk the talk. You must fight to the bitter end, he | :03:03. | :03:20. | |
says. These are disaffected former Taliban who now want to fight a | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
global jihad under the black flag of IS. The commander says they plan | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
more attacks. At the moment we exist in three | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
provinces but we only fight in one. In the others we are waiting for | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
orders from our leader. Then we will fight. We understand IS has | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
hundreds, not thousands of fighters. It is not a huge force, but enough | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to bring mayhem and misery. These are just a few of the hundreds | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
of families driven from their homes by IS. These people are now trying | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
to survive on a patch of wasteland outside the regional capital | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Jalalabad. They tell stories of horrific violence. She says IS | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
attacked her village. This girl says they took her house. | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
I don't know where my father is, she tells us. This man's brother was | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
more than 100 men IS abducted from the village. At first we had no idea | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
what had happened to him, but three men were released. They said | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
everyone was being held in a small room and IS was torturing and | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
killing them. Then we heard about the video. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
He recognised his brother in an Isis propaganda video. | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
The video showed him being led with nine other villagers, to wear a row | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
of bombs had been buried. Each man was forced to sit on a bomb. The | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
bombs were then detonated. The Afghan army has struck back | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
against IS. It says IS has little support from locals, because it is | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
so barbaric, but the defence minister warns eliminating IS in | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Afghanistan will require an international response. The key | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
question is that, from where they are getting all this funding and how | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
they are transferring that funding and how this movement of goods and | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
everything else is happening. So that is why Afghanistan alone cannot | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
deal with all these challenges, because it is coming from outside. | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
This isn't the first foreign terrorist organisation to try and | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
establish a base in the mountains of East Afghanistan. The cave complexes | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
in the province where is now operates and Tora Bora is where | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Osama bin Laden built his stronghold. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
If you turned on in the middle of that reporter would like to see it | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
again you can find it on their BBC News app and online on the BBC News | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
website. Time for outside source sport. | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
Yet another bad day for world athletics. | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
It's not going short of them this year. | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Today's comes in the form of Adidas terminating a huge sponsorship | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
It's understood this is directly related to the ongoing doping | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
It was an 11 year deal, set to run until 2019, | :06:56. | :07:09. | |
and was said to be worth $33 million. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
However sources have told the BBC that in terms of cash and products | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
the deal was worth about $8m per year. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
This means the projected lost revenue for the IAAF over | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
the next four years will be more than $30m. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Here's the reaction of the British Olympic gold | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
It's one thing to say we won't be renewing our contract after 2019, | :07:33. | :07:47. | |
but to terminate the contract now... Seven or eight months before the | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
start of the Olympic Games. This is huge. I think the problem with the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
sport, a lot of things have gone on over many years, and what people | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
have tended to do is sweep it under the carpet, hide it away. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
I don't about you - my reaction to this was if Adidas | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
had a deal for another four years, how has it suddenly got out of it. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Alex Capstick from BBC Sport came by to explain. | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
Adidas I assume will argue that the terms of the contract have been | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
breached because of the doping difficulties, in particular the | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
revelations that there have been widespread doping within Russia, on | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
an industrial scale and even worse, this is partly covered up by those | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
within the organisation that runs the sport those at very top. A | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
former president who stepped down last August is accused of running a | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
scam in which Russian athletes were bribed to suppress their positive | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
dope tests. This is too much it seems that Adidas. Senior executives | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
have written to the IAAF thing they want to terminate the contract. It | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
is not generating vast amounts of money will do around, unlike | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
football, but presumably this kind of money being lost will really | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
hurt? The marketing contract was subbed out to Japanese marketing | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
firm. They did the deal with Adidas. It is not sure how much that shields | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
the IAAF from losing. As he said, it is not big in terms of football, but | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
in track and field they will feel it if they lose it. If Adidas go | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
through with this and terminate the contract, they were want someone to | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
replace them very soon. I think more importantly symbolically it is very | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
bad news for the IAAF. On top of all the problems, they are trying to | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
restore credibility, wrist to stop their reputation. Lord Coe is doing | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
his best in regards to that now. Now their major sponsor is pulling out. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
Tennis, now - and the quarter finals of the Australian Open start | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
These are exciting times for British tennis fans. The first time in 39 | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
years Britain has had a man and a woman this far into a grand slam. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Matt Smith joins us from the BBC News Centre. I know we are getting | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
excited about the Brits biting the world is concentrated on Sharapova. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
Yes, some would argue it is not necessarily the case, since Williams | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
has such a stranglehold not only on the women's game but over Maria | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Sharapova. It is a long time since the Russian beat her American | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
counterpart, 2000 for the last time Sharapova won match between the two, | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
but they'll still the pin up girls in tennis. In fact, Williams has | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
earned more in prize money than any female athlete history. Sharapova as | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
earned more in indoor Simmons than any other female athlete in history, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
hence there has been bad blood between the two over the years on | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
and off the court and that it sets up beautifully and might just like | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
the touch paper for women's singles. But Konta's achievements mean she | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
has a real chance to make the final four. Thank you. Both of those games | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
you can get live coverage of through the BBC sport app. A chance that I | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
didn't see this coming. That's if you are Chelsea fan you did. Ramires | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
is leaving. Even if that is not surprising you you might be | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
surprised where he is going to. It's the Chinese | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
side Jiangsu Suning. In a deal which could be worth up to | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
?25 million. China researcher at Fletcher School | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
of Law and Diplomacy - used to write for Wild East | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Football, a website about Chinese Thank you for joining us. . My first | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
question is can you put this fee in context. Chinese sites normally | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
splash out ?25 million? It is very unusual, the highest fee ever. The | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
second highest fee recently, four days ago when a Brazilian player | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
joined a Chinese team. This is very unusual. Who is bankrolling this? I | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
imagine these sides would struggle to generate this kind of money | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
through attendances and TV rights? It is one of the better attended | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
teams in the league, about 20,000 fans a game. But the tickets are | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
cheaper, so that is not revenue. The reason they can | :12:40. | :12:57. | |
recognise the same football as Chelsea? Not at Chelsea's level. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
They won the cup in China this year but they are typically a mid-table | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
team. I have the impression that even when these sides pick up big | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
players from the European leagues, often these transfers do not work | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
out. The players do not stay there for very long? It is a mixed bag. | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
There was a story with Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka who went to | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
Shanghai in 2012 in huge deals, paying them Premier League wages. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
But they left within about a year. What is more usual with you will | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
have middle-income players go and build a career there, having failed | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
to make the pay grade back home. Very good to speak to you. Thank you | :13:45. | :13:46. | |

story about one of the most dangerous spiders in the world, and | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
what you should do if you come across one. We have an educational | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
video to play you. The former Conservative Party | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
Chairman Cecil Parkinson has died. He was 84 and had been | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
suffering from cancer. Working with Margaret Thatcher | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
in the early 1980s, he played a key role in the Conservatives | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
election victory in 1983, and was even talked | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
about as a successor to Mrs But his career was effectively ended | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
when it was revealed he'd fathered Our deputy political editor | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
James Landale looks back Cecil Parkinson was the charming | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
face of the Margaret Thatcher government, a friend as much | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
as an ally, who believed in her, and above all, helped | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
to win elections. What we do know is going to shape | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the future for our children... a self-made businessman | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
of humble origins. In the 1980s she gave him a seat | :15:44. | :15:44. | |
in Cabinet as party chairman and in 1983 he delivered | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
the majority she needed But within months of | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
the scenes of triumph here at the old Conservative Party | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
headquarters, Cecil Parkinson snatched defeat from the jaws | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
of victory, out of office It emerged that he had a long affair | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
with his secretary, now pregnant. At the Conservative Party conference | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
in Blackpool in 1983 he fought to stay in government, | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
but after the secretary claimed Cecil Parkinson has tendered his | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
resignation as Secretary of State... For years he was mocked in public | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
but missed in Downing Street. In 1987 Thatcher gave him | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
a second political life, as Energy Secretary, | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
charged with privatising more national industries, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
just as years earlier he liberalised He was part of a great generation | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
who did extraordinary things He was one of the few ministers | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
who stayed loyal to Thatcher until the end, when she resigned | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
in 1990, he went After the Conservative defeat | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
in 1997 he returned as chairman to advise a young William Hague, | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
but not for long. He was once spoken of as | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
the successor to Margaret Thatcher, instead he was the courtier | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
who stood by her to the last. This is Outside Source live | :17:16. | :17:30. | |

a report from Cairo. It's five years on from the start | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak - and security | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
was stepped up to stop any demonstrations against the current | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. A BBC reporter has been working | :18:13. | :18:29. | |
undercover to understand how the Islamic State group recruits people | :18:30. | :18:30. | |
in the UK. This is a pressing issue - | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
it's thought that more than 700 people had left the UK to join | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
IS by the end of last year. Meet Zara, not her real name, she is | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
an undercover journalist. She created an online ID and started | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
following IS recruiters who ply their trade on social media. She was | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
soon receiving messages, including many from one man, a German Jack had | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
equalled Mario. He pursued her constantly. -- German jihadists | :18:59. | :19:10. | |
called Mario. Initially he came across as someone really polite, | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
really nice, but in two or three days he changed and became very | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
aggressive, very demanding and very controlling. In Germany there are | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
16-year-old sisters who come alone and you are 25. If he can make me | :19:25. | :19:29. | |

a video call he urged her to travel to join him. | :19:40. | :20:04. | |
Do you know them very well, these brothers? | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
Without the social media they would struggle to get their message | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
across. They would also struggle to convince young people it is possible | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
to travel. After this Zara cut off all communication with Mario. This | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
was one person he was not going to persuade. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Often we have turned our attention to a migrant camp in Calais known as | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
the Jungle. But when Ryan, | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
a builder from Scotland, travelled there to help, | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
he ended up moving in. I came for two weeks and decided I | :20:47. | :21:11. | |
wasn't quite ready to walk away from it. There was just much more that I | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
could do. Some guys asked me to attach the rest of his house to the | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
floor, so I'm going to help him now and see if I can do that. Here we | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
go. I came here on my own so I just walk | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
around and if I can find people to help. I took note out of other | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
people who stayed out here. There are a small group of volunteers who | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
live at the camp at all times. I watched them do it and saw how long | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
they got along with people and how much easier it was for them to build | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
relationships with the people they were rebound and decided that was | :21:49. | :21:49. | |
what I was going to do. I've been going around collecting as | :21:50. | :22:13. | |
many tear gas canisters as I can and trying to re-purpose them into more | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
friendly things. I've got the rubber bullets, I just rolled the whole in | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
the bottom of them and made them colourful. With the tear gas | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
canisters we are going to make music instruments. My mum was worried but | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
everyone else has been incredibly supportive about it. I've had | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
support of all kinds from all of my friends. It is quite nice to know. | :22:47. | :23:05. | |
That is in the most viewed list on the BBC News app. | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Everyone's been looking at this spider today. | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
It's an Australian funnel web spider - and it's very dangerous. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
The reason it's in the news is this one was handed to Australia's only | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
I have to confess I didn't know a lot about that. You take the venom | :23:21. | :23:32. | |
from the spider and use that to produce antivenom to treat people | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
who have been bitten. Here is a video released by the people who do | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
that. I and Stacey and one of the spider keepers. I will show you how | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
to catch a funnel web spider. This is one of the big female funnel | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
webs. You might find this in your back yard, they can wander into your | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
house, but catching them is what we're after. It is pretty easy to | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
do. If they are rearing up like this, just get a jar and straight | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
the top. Slide something nice and thick and sturdy and Meath, some | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
cardboard, and flick it over. Or a big metal spoon is a good option. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
What you want to do, sit the jar in front of the spider, scoop into the | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
jar just like that. They cannot jump and cannot climb smooth surfaces so | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
now she cannot get out. Two more things you need to do, put some air | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
holes in the top of the jar and some damp soil. Slide it down the side of | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
the jar and that will keep the spider alive. Take it to one of our | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
drop off points. Check the website for where they | :24:40. | :24:40. | |
save plenty of lives. As you can see the milking | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
is pretty easy, but we only get a couple of drops of venom from each | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
spider and it requires a few milking is to get one vial. We hope to get | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
at least 300 spiders handed in this year, with the aim of 3000 milkings | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
to create the antivenom. It looks easy. Goodbye. | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
I've heard it said when you get a blizzard in America, it turns up on | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
our doorstep a few days later. It actually turns out to | :25:19. | :25:19. |
