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 | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
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 | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story is? Scientists | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
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 | :13:59. | :14:22. | |
news 24 in South Africa. This is the state of nation address. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
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 | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Opposition politicians have clearly had enough. | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
Julius Malema and his fellow Economic Freedom Fighters MPs | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
were thrown out of parliament for heckling. | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
You are prepared to remove the whole party! Which has been elected by the | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
people in defence of one man! View will join them to macro Jacob Zuma | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
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. | |
