Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Our top stories: Voters in Iowa will soon decide

who they want to represent the Democratic and Republican

parties in this year's presidential election.

The World Health Organisation has declared a new global health

emergency over birth defects possibly linked to the Zika virus.

Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich, in the summer he will be a Manchester

City man. We will talk about that. And we'll explain the science behind

experiments given the go ahead here in the UK that will

genetically alter embryos. Let's get more on the US

presidential race. Iowa is holding its Democratic

and Republican votes today - it's the first state

to choose its candidates. To explain what that is -

and a few other words, we'll all need to use

in the next few months, If you sign up for the Bernie

Sanders text, he said he has been snowed under with fashion advice. We

have a picture of a woman with Bernie Sanders shirt. I don't know

if you would wear that. There are other candidates' clothing

available. Let's explain the system. Here is a video to help us. It

explains some words that will be helpful in the next few months.

Caucus? Never heard of it. No idea. A caucus is... A word my mother uses

a lot! She is very political. It sound like an animal, but. I have no

idea. The democratic caucus they figure out who will be running for

the party and who is best for the party.

Super Pac? No idea. A pack of people. Pac-Man helping in the

election. Super-PAC is the reason this country is going down the

drain. It is generally large corporatios or wealthy individuals

who get together money to put behind a political candidate.

Candidates of the parties will be... Who will represent the party. State

elections held in states to choose a candidate of a specific party by the

people. Super Tuesday. It is after super

Monday. All I can suggest it is the date after the election. That is all

can I say. Maybe when the super heroes support. It sounds like...

The election. For the primaries or something like that. It is the day a

Tuesday when they have a lot of primaries or caucuses or something

and there is lots going on. Ticket. That is the like maybe a

ticket to vote? Like a sort of a ballot. Raffle ticket. The

democratic ticket is like the party that, candidates are running under.

A ticket? To be a part of the race. The ticket is about where you have

the names for primary or the the general election, so who ever is

runninger for president, vice president, or whatever is on the

ballot for that year, that is what the ticket is.

That last one got them all right. That was about super Tuesday. Super

Monday wouldn't be a bad description of how Manchester City fans are

feeling. Manuel Pellegrini is leaving at the end of the season and

it is no surprise this man is taking over. Pep Guardiola is coming in. We

first got an inkling there was a big story brewing when Manuel Pellegrini

at the end of his press conference said he had something to add. I

talked with the club and I finish my contract in the original date in

June. We extend the contract one more year, but with the clause, the

club or me cannot use that extended contract. So I finish here in the

original date, 30th June. A lot of speculation about... They're not

doing nothing behind me. I know this a month ago. I don't think it the is

good to have rumour and speculation, I prefer to finish today. That is

why I told the press and the players and I spoke to the club two weeks

ago that I would do it. OK. Bye. With that he was gone. This was

carefully orchestrated. After that Manchester City

released this statement. Here it is - confirming

that Pep Guardiola is going to be coach

from next season. That really is quite something

for Manchester City. He is the most sought of manager in

world football reeting now. He has a formidable record of success. At

Barcelona he was a former player and he led them to 14 trophies. Two

European cups as well. Also evolved how they play, this wonderful style

of play. He took a break and went to Bayern Munich, where he won the

league title twice in his first two full seasons in charge. He is the

hottest property in management and City will hope that in bringing him

here, he can elevate this club from not just a force in English

football, but a force in European football and take them to that next

level. He announced he was leaving Bayern Munich in December and said

that England would be the most likely destination and then

everybody wanted him to be their manager, he was linked with

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. But City have pulled off

this coup and brought him here. That is the biggest football story. We

thought it would be transfer deadline day in England and

Scotland. It is the last chance to sign a player before the end of the

season. Spending in the Premier League for the whole season has

topped ?1 billion. Here is our correspondent. Who has been

splashing the cash? In truth not many people on this deadline day.

Around ?130 million has been spent in this January window in the

Premier League. But you add to that to the 870 million spent in the last

one and you have a million pound spent in a season. Most clubs doing

loan deals. The biggest money deal was made by Everton who have signed

a striker for ?13.5 from Russia. And a loan deal in the last new moments,

Stephen Fletcher has gone from Sunderland to Marseille in the

French league. For just for the season on loan. Some other transfers

online, Newcastle have signed the Ivory Coast forward Doumbia. That is

a loan deal. And Celtic have signed Colin Richards, who people will know

from the English leagues, because he played for Brighton and Sheffield

Wednesday. And he played for Blackburn. Making his move to

Scotland from Holland. And Matthew Debuchy has moved fromArsenal to

Bordeaux. There is still time in England and Scotland as well. But

don't be surprised if there is any big deals done tonight. Thank you.

Those watching, if you keep an eye on the live page from the BBC Sport

web-site, all the time the deals are coming through, they're being posted

on line. Once the deals have been reached, the thing that can derail

the process is the medical. Alex South has been to have one. Before a

transfer there must be a medical, when clubs are spending millions on

talent, they want to make sure they get this bit right and I have come

to St George's Park, the home of the FA to get a medical. Kick and kick

and pull. Kick and pull. Good excellent. The next speed. Up one.

Well done. Excellent test. Great work. I just did a snippet. That was

hard for me. A footballer would do a lot more to test a professional

athlete. Yes, exactly, the speed of a professional player would be high

her. How much higher? We would be looking at 7 to 8 kilometres more.

But we would run them to exhaustion. So they can't run any further. How

important is a medical to see what these clubs are getting when they're

spending millions on players. It is probably the most important thing

they're going to do when they're signing a player. They have got to

be able to play. And that is down to the club to take that risk.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There are three parts to to

process, I have been through the first two and now the

Does the 31st January fill the coming to stie the doctor. -- to see

Does the 31st January fill the medical world with... In a club and

here, partly because you don't know what is going to happen and there

has been transfer deadline days, particularly here and at a club

where nothing has happened! Some clubs get all their deals done early

and are done and dusted. That must be the perfect scenario. Yes in a

club that is right, a few days notice and several hours to do the

medical. We talked with the results of your tests. I have a report to

give to the club so they can make their decision on whether they're

going to go ahead with the signing. I hope it is positive. Thank you for

your time. Very nice to meet you. Thank you. Thanks to Alex for that.

Another story we are covering. Richard Conway says Jose Mourinho

has declined my offer to send best wishes to Pep Guardiola. There is

speculation about where Mourinho will go next.

Some stories you have to read twice to check you saw it right.

He says he wants to return to the ring.

He hasn't fought since he was knocked out

When he was asked whether that was a good idea,

But it seems it's not to be - earlier today he tweeted:

I think some people will be relieved about that. The a story that -- a

story that has just come in. We were talking about the Zika virus.

Reuters have a statement from the president of Brazil's chief of staff

saying there is no chance of cancelling the Olympics due to Zika.

While there hasn't been a suggestion there would happen, many have said,

do you think this will happen, what will it do for the Olympics. This is

about as clear as the government has been, saying there will not be an

impact on the the Olympics. We are going to talk about Myanmar.

A new inquest has opened into the death of a teenage army

recruit at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey

18 year-old Private Cheryl James was found shot dead

She was one of four recruits to die there over a seven-year period.

The original inquest recorded an open verdict but that was quashed

when new allegations of a culture of bullying and sexual exploitation

Our home affairs Correspondent June Kelly reports.

Private Cheryl James had just turned 18 when she died while on guard duty

She was found with a single bullet wound to her head.

Deepcut then has been depicted as a place of bullying and fear.

Between 1995 and 2002, Cheryl James was one of four young

soldiers to die there - all had sufferred gunshot wounds.

For years, their families have been battling to find out the full facts

Cheryl's parents are the first to have a new inquest.

Among the allegations it will examine, is a claim that Cheryl

may have been raped the night before she died.

That's your worst nightmare, you think, I should have been there,

if I had been there I could have sorted it.

The coroner said the inquest was north a public inquiry and he did

not intend to look at an alleged culture of sexual abuse at the

Barracks. Why has this taken so long. In 1995 a brief inquest

recorded an open verdict and her death was investigated by the Royal

Military Police. In 2002 Surrey police started an investigation into

all four deep cut deaths and found no evidence of any crime N 2006 a

review by a senior lawyer concluded Sheryl's wound was probably

self-inflicted in 2014 her parents won the right to have a new inquest

after their lawyers got access to all the material held by the police.

There was a delay as new forensic evidence emerged. The family now

face another wait. This is Outside Source live

presidential hopefuls have been making their final pitches

in the state of Iowa where the first votes for party nominations

will take place later. World News America is

next around the world. It's got more on the Zika Virus

and its suspected link to brain It's got more on the proposals

for a new settlement between the UK They're expected to be tabled

on Tuesday by the president For the first time, UK scientists

have been given permission Two caveats - the embryos can't be

implanted into women and the approval is for

very specific experiments. Nonetheless, a moment

of huge significance. The experiments will take place

in the first seven days That's the time it takes to go

from this - a single about 200 to 300 cells called

a blastocyst which later turns 13 out of every 100

fertilised eggs go And it's the genes that are active

at this stage that the researchers want to look at -

and that they'll edit. James Gallacher has been running

through the story and why some people are unhappy. . Any presearch

involving embryos involves some discomfort. This is manipulating the

instructions for life for research. Even if things are found out through

this process, I don't understand how that impacts on embryos that are

developing inside woman's body. It is about fundamentally understanding

what happens in those four moments in life, the seven days, that

beautiful picture as to what happening as you go from a single

fertilised egg to that 200 to 300 egg stage. There is a huge amount of

cell division going on. There is changes in structure and cells are

starting to get specialised roles and learn whether they will form

part of the baby or other bits that go on. We don't understand what is

going on or why. By looking at each of the genes we think is involved at

that time, scientists can start to understand how the embryo is

supposed to develop and that will allow them to develop things like

performing IVF. The suggest isn't that it becomes a normal part of

people having children in some circumstances. That has nothing to

to with what has been allowed today. You're right to raise what some

people are concerned about in the distant future. Because once you get

to the point where you say we can go into an embryo and change things,

well, would it be wrong to do as Chinese scientist did last year,

change a diseased gene that meant an embryo no longer had a blood

disorder. That embryo was destroyed. But these are questions that this

type of technology is going to keep on yg society and it is p -- asking

society and it is up to us to come up with answers. Plenty of

background on that story on the BBC web-site.

The new parliament held its first session - with a majority of MPs

from the National League for Democracy - the party

For years she was under house arrest, and the activities

Three months after the election the Parliament hosted this country's

latest step away from military dictatorship. This is a remarkable

day in Burmese history. Aung San Suu Kyi's party was treated as the enemy

and its activities were suppressed and its leaders were jailed. Today

its MPs have been walking into Parliament, picking up their badges

and passes, signing in for the first time and they will be the majority

party in this Parliament. Quite extraordinary scenes. If we look up

here, this is the seating plan, which Thames the new MPs where they

have gt to sit. -- got to sit. This huge swathe of red is Aung San Suu

Kyi's party. This block is the unelected army representatives who

have been nominated and a small bit of other elected political parties.

These guys are the army representatives, unelected. 25% of

the Parliament is made up of thechlt excuse, I wonder why this Parliament

still needs the army. Excuse me Sir. I wonder why you still need to be

here? Does this Parliament still need soldiers? For the MPs it was a

moment few thought they would ever see. It is exciting. It is the first

day we have been waiting for 27 years. Once inside the first session

took just 75 minutes. Enough time to take oaths and appoint a speaker.

But there was no word on who is going to be president. The obvious

choice, Aung San Suu Kyi, is saying little. She is barred by the

constitution, because her sons have British and not Burmese passports

and need a deal with the army. If not her, the speculation really

starts. Could she call on an ally from the old ruling party. Would you

like to be president? She will want somebody she could trust and maybe

the mans who runs her charitable foundation. Would you like to be

president. It is just speculation. You have not been asked. Or her

personal doctor. Does anyone know her better. I'm not interested.

You're not interested. They will may well change their minds, but Aung

San Suu Kyi has said whoever she picks for president, she will still

be in charge. The most important relation relationship here now is

between her and the still very powerful Burmese army. A woman

leading a party to victory. Remember, there is an election being

contested in the United States and you can follow it on the web-site. I

will speak to you tomorrow. Goodbye. It seems as though we barely had

time to catch our breath after Storm Gertrude before
