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.

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

who stood by her to the last. This is Outside Source live

a report from Cairo. It's five years on from the start

of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak - and security

undercover to understand how the Islamic State group recruits people

:18:30.:18:30.

in the UK. This is a pressing issue -

it's thought that more than 700 people had left the UK to join

following IS recruiters who ply their trade on social media. She was

soon receiving messages, including many from one man, a German Jack had

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

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.
