This is outside source. It is official. We have detected

:00:11.:00:19.

gravitational waves, we have done it.

:00:20.:00:24.

Scientists are saying that the discovery of the waves will usher in

:00:25.:00:32.

a new era of for the understanding of the universe will stop as

officials is struggled to take the first step towards a peace deal, the

:00:37.:00:41.

situation in the city of Aleppo continues to worsen. The ordinary

:00:42.:00:44.

scenes in South African Parliament, the president is heckled while

:00:45.:00:48.

delivering his State of the nation address. Reports that 52 people have

:00:49.:00:54.

died at a ride in a prison in Mexico, streets around the jail have

:00:55.:00:57.

been blocked by families that are worried about the relatives inside.

:00:58.:01:04.

If you want to get in touch with us at any time, we are on Twitter.

:01:05.:01:23.

Scientists are hailing it as one of the most important discoveries of

:01:24.:01:29.

this century. One that will bring a much greater understanding of the

:01:30.:01:33.

origin of our universe. Albert Einstein first came up with the

:01:34.:01:38.

concept of gravitational waves, 100 years ago, it has taken up until now

:01:39.:01:42.

to show that they actually do exist, there is some more of the details

:01:43.:01:50.

from the BBC. VOICEOVER: Powerful telescopes can see distant stars and

:01:51.:01:54.

far-away galaxies, for now, astronomers will be able to see much

:01:55.:01:57.

deeper into space, and further back in time. Eventually, right up to the

:01:58.:02:07.

moment of the Big Bang. Scientists have been searching for ripples in

:02:08.:02:14.

space. Gravitational waves. Today, they told the world that they found

:02:15.:02:16.

them. Gravitational waves provide

:02:17.:02:36.

a completely new way of looking The ability to detect

:02:37.:02:38.

them has the potential This discovery is the first

:02:39.:02:49.

detection of the black hole binary system and the first observation

:02:50.:02:53.

of black holes merging. Albert Einstein predicted

:02:54.:02:55.

the existence of gravitational waves Gravitational waves are created

:02:56.:02:57.

whenever there is a seismic event in the universe, such

:02:58.:03:09.

as an exploding star. These waves ripple across the galaxy

:03:10.:03:11.

at the speed of light, stretching and squeezing space

:03:12.:03:14.

as they go, but they are incredibly hard to detect because when they hit

:03:15.:03:16.

the earth they give it the tiniest of jolts that is barely

:03:17.:03:20.

the width of an atom. Researchers developed a powerful

:03:21.:03:22.

laser system capable of measuring The beam runs along a tube under

:03:23.:03:32.

the ground and is stretch by a minute amount when

:03:33.:03:35.

a gravitational wave passes through. When you consider these black holes

:03:36.:03:38.

actually spiralled in over a billion years ago and the signal has been

:03:39.:03:47.

travelling to us since then and we turned on our detectors

:03:48.:03:52.

at just the right time And those gravitational waves can

:03:53.:03:54.

be turned into sound. That is the chirp we have

:03:55.:04:00.

been looking for. That is one of the beautiful

:04:01.:04:10.

things about this. We are not only going to see

:04:11.:04:12.

the universe, we will be Today's result opens a new window

:04:13.:04:15.

into how the universe began and reveals a new view of the cosmos

:04:16.:04:22.

that is beyond our imagination. One person who's excited about this

:04:23.:04:32.

discovery is Rebecca Morelle. Gravitational waves detected, she

:04:33.:04:42.

says! I asked her just what's

:04:43.:04:47.

so exciting about it. The universe is awash with

:04:48.:04:56.

gravitational waves, anything with mast that moves, even we have them.

:04:57.:05:01.

But they are very small so when we have huge cosmic events like a

:05:02.:05:04.

colliding parent like Coles, I would give off a tsunami of Coles,

:05:05.:05:14.

gravitational waves. Einstein, brilliant piece of work

:05:15.:05:25.

and this next feather to his cap. It is it pretty, literally astronomical

:05:26.:05:29.

discovery. Some said this is a new era for the universe and people will

:05:30.:05:33.

be able to see things they were unable to the previously when it

:05:34.:05:39.

comes to black holes? It as it 118, but only have we detect dead

:05:40.:05:44.

gravitational -- gravitational waves, binary black holes, spinning

:05:45.:05:50.

around, telescopes are amazing, brilliant eyes on the sky, we can

:05:51.:05:54.

see lots of the universe with radio waves and light to see what is out

:05:55.:05:58.

there but gravitational waves, they give us this new layer, more than

:05:59.:06:05.

99% of the universe we cannot see with telescopes but we can look at

:06:06.:06:08.

gravitational waves generated by objects and catch them. It tells us

:06:09.:06:14.

about the objects themselves, about all of these things we just cannot

:06:15.:06:20.

see. Will things begin to speed up with discoveries? We have been

:06:21.:06:23.

waiting for the machine sensitive enough to detect gravitational waves

:06:24.:06:29.

and it is working correctly. This is enormous and beautiful and

:06:30.:06:33.

wonderful. We are sure they are gravitational waves, we will see

:06:34.:06:38.

more of them, you cannot just be two of them, they must be exploding

:06:39.:06:43.

stars, neutron stars, so many discoveries waiting to be made.

:06:44.:06:52.

A new push for a ceasefire in Syria is getting underway in Munich.

:06:53.:06:56.

In a minute, we'll get the latest from Germany.

:06:57.:07:03.

Let's look at the fighting in the north of Syria.

:07:04.:07:23.

One of the biggest influences recently has been the Russian air

:07:24.:07:26.

strikes in support of President Assad's force.

:07:27.:07:28.

Moscow says it's hit 1,900 targets in the last week alone.

:07:29.:07:30.

Despite that ferocity they've accused the United States of bombing

:07:31.:07:35.

TRANSLATION: On Wednesday, two attack aircraft from the U.S. Air

:07:36.:07:50.

Force entered Syrian airspace from tricky and struck targets in Aleppo

:07:51.:07:55.

that we would not wish to be had. The Americans did not make this

:07:56.:07:59.

public. Russia will not become similar to the Americans. Frankly,

:08:00.:08:04.

there had not been enough time to identify the slice leave those nine

:08:05.:08:08.

targets engaged in Aleppo, perhaps there were hospitals among them? The

:08:09.:08:18.

Defence Ministry will find out. The United States denied this has

:08:19.:08:23.

happened. Basis back that Russia wants to begin a ceasefire on the

:08:24.:08:27.

1st of March aimed at giving the Syrian army a chance to crush rebel

:08:28.:08:32.

forces. American aircraft has not operated around and let both, or

:08:33.:08:39.

have struck any hospitals. This is Russian indiscriminate use of this

:08:40.:08:46.

Don box, pushing them out of the back of the aircraft, scattering

:08:47.:08:53.

them across populated areas, regardless if they have women,

:08:54.:08:58.

children, civilians, hospitals, the Russians are not interested, they

:08:59.:09:02.

are interested in supporting this brittle regime of Bashar al-Assad.

:09:03.:09:06.

-- brittle. Lyse Doucet is at the peace

:09:07.:09:13.

talks in Munich. At some point there will be a press

:09:14.:09:23.

conference, some people came out of those talks and said they are

:09:24.:09:24.

engaging in some difficult discussions about the ceasefire,

:09:25.:09:32.

when and where would it take place? This is the hardest part of

:09:33.:09:36.

discussions taking place in Munich but on the brighter side we

:09:37.:09:38.

understand there has been progress when it comes to deciding on a way

:09:39.:09:50.

forward to enter these punishing situations with millions trapped

:09:51.:09:53.

without regular access to food and water and medical supplies. These

:09:54.:09:58.

are one of the food and water are used as a weapon of war and there is

:09:59.:10:02.

some hope there will be agreement tonight on how to enter those sieges

:10:03.:10:06.

and on the ceasefire were waiting but there is cautious hope that they

:10:07.:10:11.

can agree on something tonight, it will not end the war, but they will

:10:12.:10:16.

begin to come to some understanding on how to move towards that. Any

:10:17.:10:23.

conversations about that March one you a potential date? -- the 1st of

:10:24.:10:33.

March being. That is the day the Russians wanted the proposal,

:10:34.:10:41.

restructured proposal, the date was that of the 1st of March, which has

:10:42.:10:46.

been treated with scepticism by the opposition and the United States,

:10:47.:10:50.

which is calling for an immediate truce because if it is March the

:10:51.:10:56.

1st, that gives the Russians working with Syrian military more time to

:10:57.:11:00.

try to encircle Aleppo and squeeze the opposition there. They do not

:11:01.:11:05.

want to give the Russians that time. The opposition does not want to give

:11:06.:11:09.

in to the government demands because they want to see proof that the

:11:10.:11:14.

Syrian military and government is serious about trying to move towards

:11:15.:11:19.

a negotiated way out of this war. A lack of trust on both sides and we

:11:20.:11:24.

had the warning from the Russian Prime Minister who has been warning

:11:25.:11:28.

that the other side does not accept the ceasefire, Syria will move to a

:11:29.:11:34.

permanent world war, a third World War, as he put it. Thank you very

:11:35.:11:40.

much. Waiting for that press conference and we will bring that to

:11:41.:11:41.

you when it does come online. A six-week stand-off in Oregon

:11:42.:11:46.

could be about to end . The remaining four protesters

:11:47.:11:49.

are preparing to walk out. The British Medical Association will

:11:50.:12:14.

fight on after the junior contract on doctors. Janowicz hot -- Jeremy

:12:15.:12:20.

Hunt said he was left with no choice after a rejection of the final

:12:21.:12:25.

offer. We demonstrated time and again willingness to associate with

:12:26.:12:29.

the BMA on the concerns they raised. But the definition of negotiation is

:12:30.:12:35.

a discussion where both sides demonstrate flexibility and

:12:36.:12:39.

compromise on their original objectives. And the BMA ultimately

:12:40.:12:46.

proved unwilling to do this. I am saying that the NHS is already an

:12:47.:12:51.

overstretched service for many years and there is already a shortage of

:12:52.:12:55.

doctors in the NHS under the current conditions. This contract will make

:12:56.:13:00.

it worse, there will not be enough doctors to look after patients

:13:01.:13:01.

safely. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story is? Scientists

in the US have first the first time detected gravitational waves -

:13:14.:13:19.

They're saying the discovery will usher in a new era

:13:20.:13:21.

in our understanding BBC Chinese reports that North Korea

:13:22.:13:23.

has expelled all South Koreans from a joint run industrial park -

:13:24.:13:33.

saying its neighbours' earlier decision to shutter the complex

:13:34.:13:36.

amounted to a "declaration of war". One of the most read stories

:13:37.:13:42.

on our website is about a 94-year former Nazi SS guard has gone

:13:43.:13:45.

on trial in Germany over the murder of at least 170,000 people

:13:46.:13:50.

at the Auschwitz camp. He has acknowledged

:13:51.:13:55.

he WAS a guard there. But he denies any involvement

:13:56.:13:58.

in the mass killings. Genevieve quintile is a reporter at

MPs calling for Zuma to resign while he speaks.

:14:26.:14:27.

That hashtag is trending in South Africa because President Jacob Zuma

:14:28.:14:30.

has been giving his State of the Nation address.

:14:31.:14:34.

It comes as he awaits the outcome of a court case about the use

:14:35.:14:39.

of taxpayers' money being spent on controversial upgrades

:14:40.:14:41.

He's already offered to pay back some of the approximately

Opposition politicians have clearly had enough.

Julius Malema and his fellow Economic Freedom Fighters MPs

is no longer the president. He has stolen from us. He has made this

:15:27.:15:34.

country a joke. And after that he has laughed at us, we cannot allow

:15:35.:15:39.

him to do as he wishes in this country. Quite the scene in the

:15:40.:15:46.

parliament. The cruise ship was hit in -- hit by Atlantic storm of the

:15:47.:15:52.

East Coast of the US. They returned to tell the story of it terrifying

:15:53.:15:58.

voyage. The ship docked in his Jersey with more than 4000 people on

:15:59.:16:03.

board who were very grateful to be back on dry land. A room with a view

:16:04.:16:12.

they did not want. Oh my God! Hurricane force wind battered this

:16:13.:16:18.

cruise ship for 12 hours. It was a test of injury and is rather than a

:16:19.:16:23.

dream holiday to the departments. -- to the tip -- to the Bahamas. When

:16:24.:16:30.

they got home, many of the 6000 on board could not hide their relief.

:16:31.:16:35.

We thought that we were going to die. They were fearing for our lives

:16:36.:16:40.

because we were told we were in good shape. They were trapped in the room

:16:41.:16:47.

for 17 hours. It was like on a roller-coaster that you could not

:16:48.:16:52.

get off. Passengers were expected to expect a bit of whether does the

:16:53.:16:57.

ship battled through the Atlantic, they were told to go to their rooms

:16:58.:17:01.

and stay there. The captain gave updates on television. The captain

:17:02.:17:10.

knew about this for days before and he still took us out there and when

:17:11.:17:14.

you see the crew praying with rosary beads and crying, it was so scary.

:17:15.:17:21.

Nobody was seriously injured. The furniture on board took the brunt of

:17:22.:17:28.

the storm, which was much worse than forecast, prompting an apology from

:17:29.:17:33.

the company. Our guests went through it terrible experience over the

:17:34.:17:37.

weekend and that should not happen, they came to us for a dream vacation

:17:38.:17:40.

and they had a terrifying weather experience. That should not happen

:17:41.:17:45.

and we don't want it to happen again and we are so sorry. Passengers did

:17:46.:17:50.

get their money back and 50% of the next cruise. But it might be some

:17:51.:17:55.

time before many of them set sail again. And often experience! -- and

:17:56.:18:03.

awful experience. That's Matt Brittin -

:18:04.:18:07.

he's the man in charge of Google's He faced some tough

:18:08.:18:09.

questions from a committee This is all about the low level

:18:10.:18:12.

of taxes paid by big companies that operate in the UK but have

:18:13.:18:16.

headquarters abroad. Google recently agreed to pay

:18:17.:18:18.

?130-million in back taxes for a ten year period - after an "open

:18:19.:18:22.

audit" of its accounts But there have been questions

:18:23.:18:29.

asked about that audit. Our Economics Editor Kamal

:18:30.:18:37.

Ahmed has the story. Google, a company that likes to help

:18:38.:18:42.

us answer questions. It is a search powerhouse that makes

:18:43.:18:45.

billions of pounds of profit Today it appeared to have a little

:18:46.:18:48.

difficulty answering this question - For the Head of Europe Matt Brittin,

:18:49.:18:54.

it was not that simple. I don't have the figure,

:18:55.:19:02.

but I will provide it. A bit of knock-about maybe,

:19:03.:19:06.

but MPs insisted it showed just how out of touch the

:19:07.:19:14.

technology giant is. He seemed on surer ground

:19:15.:19:17.

when defending their settlement We are paying the tax the HMRC

:19:18.:19:21.

believes is the highest amount, they cannot settle until we are

:19:22.:19:27.

paying the tax fully, based on the facts,

:19:28.:19:29.

we cannot pay more, I understand we are in

:19:30.:19:32.

the spotlight, but we are paying Here at their HQ, I am told

:19:33.:19:37.

they are pretty relieved that The company has stuck

:19:38.:19:44.

steadfastly to the argument that it is an American company that

:19:45.:19:52.

pays its taxes in America. There was a more interesting

:19:53.:19:57.

witness before MPs today, Could they convince a sceptical

:19:58.:20:00.

public that this was not The key question for that tax

:20:01.:20:08.

collector, did Google run We don't get outmanoeuvred by these

:20:09.:20:13.

big firms, we make them If I am honest, I would like to see

:20:14.:20:18.

more recognition of that. We have a fine set of tax inspectors

:20:19.:20:25.

who do an extremely good job. Google says it wants

:20:26.:20:28.

to see a simpler tax code. We have to have confidence that they

:20:29.:20:31.

are not getting better treatment. But I think we need a process

:20:32.:20:44.

in place which reassures the public. Mr Brittin was still being thrown

:20:45.:20:50.

questions as he left the inquiry. But for now, the technology company

:20:51.:20:53.

decided it had said quite enough. Now, recently we told

:20:54.:21:03.

you about Facebook's attempt to introduce Free Basics

:21:04.:21:06.

internet in India - it was a scheme that offered

:21:07.:21:09.

free access to a limited But, it was blocked by the Indian

:21:10.:21:11.

telecoms regulator. Well, Marc Andre-essen,

:21:12.:21:17.

one of the company's influential board members, tweeted this:

:21:18.:21:21.

Anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic

:21:22.:21:30.

for Indian people for decades. He's now deleted the tweet

:21:31.:21:32.

it was in, this is a screenshot. It's caused an outcry -

:21:33.:21:40.

and Mark Zuckerberg has I found the comments

:21:41.:21:43.

deeply upsetting. They do not represent the way

:21:44.:21:48.

Facebook or I think at all. That contained use that discussion.

:21:49.:21:59.

We can speak to Michelle Fleury in New York. Someone about the fallout

:22:00.:22:08.

from that deleted tweet. Mark is not only the directory Facebook but a

:22:09.:22:12.

fairly high-profile venture capitalist in Silicon Valley and

:22:13.:22:18.

what shocked many people what the comments revealed is the gap between

:22:19.:22:23.

how the world of technology sees itself and the rest of the world

:22:24.:22:30.

does. He was forced within hours of that to reverse course, he was on

:22:31.:22:34.

the back foot and he took to Twitter to apologise and said last by I made

:22:35.:22:40.

an informed and ill-advised comment about Indian economics and to be

:22:41.:22:48.

clear or 100% opposed to colonialism and he said he was 100% for freedom

:22:49.:22:56.

and he admired the Indian people and he apologised for the offences

:22:57.:23:00.

comment caused and said in future he would leave all commentary on these

:23:01.:23:02.

topics to people with more knowledge. The point really is this

:23:03.:23:07.

highlights this gap between how those in Silicon Valley perceive

:23:08.:23:13.

themselves and what they feel is the good they do and how the rest of the

:23:14.:23:18.

world sees it. Thank you, some context from New York on that story.

:23:19.:23:21.

The production company behind the latest Star Wars movie

:23:22.:23:24.

is being prosecuted over an accident which left Harrison Ford

:23:25.:23:26.

He was hit by a hydraulic door on the Millennium Falcon

:23:27.:23:37.

Britain's Health and Safety Executive have charged

:23:38.:23:42.

Foodles Production, which is part of Disney,

:23:43.:23:44.

with four breaches of health and safety law.

:23:45.:23:54.

A 93-year-old World War II veteran from America has been reunited

:23:55.:23:57.

with his British wartime girlfriend after more than 70 years apart.

:23:58.:23:59.

Norwood Thomas and Joyce Morris fell in love in London shortly before

:24:00.:24:02.

But they lost touch after a misunderstanding.

:24:03.:24:10.

For Norwood Thomas, this was the most memorable

:24:11.:24:13.

He arrived in Adelaide after more than seven decades,

:24:14.:24:21.

wondering what became of his wartime sweetheart.

:24:22.:24:23.

What's the first thing you are going to do?

:24:24.:24:25.

His journey from the United States was paid for by well-wishers,

:24:26.:24:30.

when they read about the romance cut short by the war.

:24:31.:24:33.

They met by the River Thames in 1944.

:24:34.:24:35.

And it very rapidly developed into something from attraction,

:24:36.:24:51.

After the war, he wrote to her about marriage.

:24:52.:24:58.

She thought he was engaged to someone else.

:24:59.:25:00.

Last year, their story went viral when she tracked him down on a whim

:25:01.:25:10.

You know, to find someone who loves you, you love them,

:25:11.:25:17.

in the latter years of your life, it would rather be special,

:25:18.:25:20.

They've waited almost a lifetime for this.

:25:21.:25:33.

Over tea, they made plans for Valentine's Day
