Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
We'll devote much of the programme to the migrant crisis in Europe. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Turkish and EU leaders are meeting to thrash out new plans to help | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
We'll be live in Brussels in a moment to see what progress | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
The latest we are hearing is that there has been no agreement yet. | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
While that's happening in Brussels, the number of migrants stuck | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
We'll hear from our correspondent from one of the camps on the Greek | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
A really significant sports stories dog about, Maria Sharapova admitting | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
she failed a drugs test for the Australian Open. For ten years, this | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
medicine was not on Wada's banned list, and I had been taking the | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
medicine. This report from Brazil, about the Zika virus. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
Scientists have told the BBC that they expect another spike | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Please get in touch with us. Use the hashtag #BBCos. | :01:11. | :01:28. | |
As I was mentioning, EU and Turkish leaders have been meeting all day, | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
the migrant crisis is the subject, and if you look at the stories | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
coming in from you can see the reason why. This is the meeting | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
itself, a very large table for a lot of people who have very different | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
interests, but need to find some type of agreement. The reason is the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
pressure is being applied in lots of different parts of the European | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Union. These pictures from Lesbos, you can see people, children, being | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
collected, they have tried to cross the border from Turkey into Greece. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
That has been happening from day on day four months. These pictures from | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
the Greek basset only on board. -- Macedonia border. Thousands of | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
people have ended up waiting to see if they can move north. Then, a long | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
way away at the top of the continent, northern France, the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
jungle camp in Calais, where efforts continue to clear part of that and | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
protests continue as some parts object to what the French | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
authorities are doing. All of those European Union and Turkish leaders | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
trying to find agreement. It looks like it is proving elusive, this | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
from Reuters out of Budapest, telling us that the Hungary and | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Prime Minister has rejected a EU plan to resettle migrants directly | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to European states from Turkey. His spokesperson said he has vetoed the | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
plan, so that does appear to the end of that. We have had meetings | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
between the EU and Turkey, and also between Nato and Turkey. Lots of | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
different statements from lots of different leaders. Let's here some | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
of the most important ones. TRANSLATION: I just want to respond | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
to the question of how we can reduce migrants, for not only a few | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
countries but for all countries, It can't just be about | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
closing something. We need to find a sustainable | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
solution together with Turkey, which is | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
what we will look into today, as well as well as putting | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
an end to illegal immigration and improving the living | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
conditions for refugees. We took swift decisions to deploy | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
ships to the Aegean Sea. Our ships have been | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
collecting information Over the weekend, we | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
decided to step up our efforts and add our support | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to assist in international efforts With this understanding, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
the Nato operations agency will be helping to rescue | :03:37. | :03:54. | |
people from the sea and also There is no prospect | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
of Britain joining a common We will have our own | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
asylum approach, our own way of doing things, | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
keeping our borders. Let's speak to the BBC's Damien | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
Grammaticas, live from Brussels. When you read that announcement from | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
the Hungarians it sounds like any type of agreement will be very | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
difficult. That is certainly what we are hearing. Right now, as we | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
understand it, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is meeting with the | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
Turkish Prime Minister, with EU heads here as well. They are locked | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
in a small discussion around the table, trying to chart a way | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
forward. It has proved difficult to get an agreement so far in the plan | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
brought forward. Germany appeared to be supportive of that, but as we are | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
hearing, quite a lot of objections from the countries all around the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
table. Hungary certainly unhappy about an idea and a plan to take | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
refugees directly from Turkey, and resettle them in Europe. Other | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
countries also having difficult issues, Italy, we are hearing, | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
unhappy perhaps about the speeding up process of Turkey trying to join | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
the EU. There are real concerns about things like press freedom. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Greece and Cyprus have always had difficult relations. They are having | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
difficulty with this agreement as well, France possibly too, so lots | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
of reasons there, and difficulties just in the whole mechanics of it. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
It is quite controversial, talking about a plan to send refugees back | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
across the water to Turkey if they come on boats to Greece. And then | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
resettle them directly from Turkey. That is a difficult thing for the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
leaders to agree. You mentioned the mechanics, let's talk about that, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
because the big argument in favour of the European Union is when you | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
have a crisis like this, the mechanics of the EU force an | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
agreement among a disparate collection of countries. What are | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
the mechanics here to force an the mechanics here to force an | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
agreement through? The leaders have gathered here for this extraordinary | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
summit in order to try and energise their efforts to try to get a | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
solution. They have had deals before, they have agreed plans with | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Turkey, they have made offers of money to Turkey to try to load the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
flow of people coming across on boats. None of those have delivered | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
at the minute for various reasons. Turkey hasn't delivered much in the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
way of stopping the flow. Greece hasn't delivered much in the way of | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
alleging the arrivals. Other European coaches have not delivered | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
much, in terms of helping Greece by taking refugees directly from Greece | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
and redistributing them around the EU. They have met with Turkey, the | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
EU 28 countries have had their own meetings, and the idea is by forcing | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
everyone to sit around the table and confront the issues, they can try to | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
surmount the hurdles. But it seems what Turkey was demanding, an extra | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
3 billion, the speeding up of all of those things, succession talks, it | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
is just too much for many European countries, and that is one of the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
reasons the system here works. You have 28 around a table and they'll | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
have two come to agreement together. It could be a long night. So while | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Damien is watching the politicians in Brussels, BBC colleagues across | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
the continent have been following this story, primarily along the | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
route which many migrants are taking three Europe. We pulled together | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
some of their latest reports. This is the departure point for many | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
making the trip to Europe, Cesme in western Turkey, | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
where there are signs of journeys that began and perhaps | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
ended in tragedy. And just across the water | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
are the mountains of the Greek The numbers of refugees | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
and migrants have dwindled here, as Turkish police chased them away | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
under pressure from the EU, but the desperate ones | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
are still determined Turkey is now receiving 3 billion | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
euros from the EU to keep refugees here, and they will have | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
to accept illegal migrants But how to quash the dreams that | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
so many still harbour of a better The gap between Turkey | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
and the island of Lesbos is just six miles wide, | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
but it is one of the most popular routes for the migrant | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
boats to come across, so these volunteers | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
are here on the beach, watching out for them, | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
ready to help them if they arrive, but the latest tactic | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
here is for the Greek coastguard to pick up people at sea | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
and bring them into A thousand people | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
arrived here yesterday. Some 4000 people are encamped | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
on this one island alone. 35,000 migrants are | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
stranded in Greece. The government says it doesn't want | :09:04. | :09:04. | |
this country to become Most of those landing | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
on the islands are heading here to Idomeni, and the crossing | :09:08. | :09:24. | |
between Greece and Macedonia. This is a fence that | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
stretches 19 miles down the border, reinforced | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
by the Macedonian army. The camp is filling up | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
with thousands of people because barely 300 | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
are crossing this post every day, and the majority of them | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
are women and children - There are not enough showers | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
or food, and seemingly not enough solidarity elsewhere | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
in Europe to help Greece We will hear from Christian and | :09:45. | :10:01. | |
later in the programme. If you want background on what is happening in | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
the EU and crisis, or you would just like to see all of our reports | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
collected in one place, you can do so through the BBC News website. | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Let's turn to one of the biggest stories in the last hour or so in | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
the world, a big announcement from Maria Sharapova. We knew it was | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
coming, it was scheduled, most people expected her to be announcing | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
her retirement. Instead, this is what she said. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
I wanted to let you know that if you days ago I received a letter from | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
the ITF that I had failed a drug test at the Australian Open. I did | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
fail the test, and I take full responsibility for it. For the past | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
ten years, I have been given a medicine by my doctor, by my family | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
doctor. A few days after I received the ITF letter, I found out that it | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
also has another name, which I did not know. It is very important for | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
you to understand that for ten years, this medicine was not on | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
Wada's banned list, and I have been legally taking the medicine for the | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
past ten years. But on January one, the rules had changed, and it became | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
a prohibited substance in which I had not known. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Let's bring in the BBC's Olly Foster from the sports centre. I am | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
watching that, thinking do we have any information on why this was | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
first a drug you could take but has now become a drug that you can't? It | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
has been on Wada's monitoring list for the whole of 2015. It was known | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
medicinal reasons, a whole lot of medicinal reasons, a whole lot of | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
things that it can fix, therapeutic reasons, but also it is known as a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
smart drug, in that it does have performance enhancing abilities as | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
well. She said she was always getting the flu as a teenager every | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
couple of months, it was had a history of diabetes, and low | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
magnesium levels. She has been taking this drug for ten years, but | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
it was on a monitoring system, and Wada gave a heads up to all those | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
athletes, a lot of stops and checks obviously being a professional | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
sportsman now, to actually know what is allowed and what is prohibited. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
There was a warning that this was going to go on the banned list on | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
the 1st of January. It does have a different name. It enables oxygen to | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
get back into the system, and enhance stamina in athletes. That is | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
what she tested positive for. In competition at the Australian Open, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
she lost in the quarterfinals to Serena Williams. Her whole career | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
has been blighted by injuries. We thought she was going to announce | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
her retirement. She made a joke about that, and said if I was going | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
to retire, it would not be in a grotty hotel like this in downtown | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Los Angeles with a shabby carpet like that. She raised a laugh when | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
she made that joke, but this is incredibly serious, and she realises | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the gravity of the mistake she has made as well. She faces a ban. She | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
is provisionally banned from the weekend as well after failing that | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
test. But as she said herself, and this seems to be what I can and | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
would be, this was prescribed and allowed, not on the banned list, for | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
ten years she was taking this drug. But she admits she made a mistake. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
There is strict liability, whatever she puts into her system, she has | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
got only herself to blame, and she should have checked, or her | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
physician, or the people in a team around her checked, that whatever | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
medicine she is taking is OK by the Wada rules. There have been plenty | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
of reaction coming into this, this from the CEO of the women's tour. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
to hear this news about Maria. She to hear this news about Maria. She | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
is a leader. I have always known her to be a woman of great integrity. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
The matter is now in the hands of the tennis anti-doping programme, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
and it's standard procedures, and the WTA will support the decisions | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
reached. She is a pin-up girl of women's tennis but she is in | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
trouble. Now we have reached the point where we have to see how those | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
negotiations go between rear Sharapova and the authorities, in | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
terms of what kind of ban, if any, is served. In a few minutes, outside | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
source business. Volvo are looking source business. Volvo are looking | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
for 100 people to commute to work in a driverless car for a year. Richard | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
Westcott has been trying out. A judge has urged -- was urged to | :14:57. | :15:11. | |
ignore sentencing guidelines and give long prison terms to the seven | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
men behind a raid on Hatton Garden in London last Easter, the largest | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
76-year-old Brian Vida, the eldest 76-year-old Brian Vida, the eldest | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
of the gang, was here on the night that they drilled their way into the | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
vault, and he admits being part of a gang of men who stole what the | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
prosecution said was ?14 million worth of cash, jewellery and gold | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
bullion. But he wasn't in court today. His lawyers say he is | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
recovering from septicaemia, a stroke and prostate cancer. He is so | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
unwell in fact that the part of last week he was in a critical care unit | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
in an NHS hospital, being guarded by six police officers with machine | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
guns. The men being sentenced this week have an average age of 63, but | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
nonetheless the prosecution are urging the judge to go beyond the | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
normal guidelines for burglary and impose even heavier sentences. | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
Welcome back to the BBC newsroom, this is outside Source, live from | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
London. The lead story is that Turkish and EU leaders have been | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
unable to find an agreement on proposals to stem the flow of | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
migrants from Turkey to Europe. Let's bring you some of the main | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
stories from BBC World Service, the US military says it has killed more | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
than 150 members of the Somali Islamist group, Al-Shabbab, in a | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
drone strike, it apparently happen on Saturday but we have only been | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
told about it now. 12 Chinese families whose religions were on | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
board of the Malaysian airlines flight flight-macro, have filed | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
compensation lawsuits in Beijing. Tuesday is the two year anniversary | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
of the disappearance and the deadline to launch legal action. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
This is how a surfing festival began in Australia, surfers showing off | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
what they could do with their dogs on board. If you want to find this | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
video, it will inevitably be part of the most watched | :17:14. | :17:14. | |
list on the BBC website. Every year, the US and South Korea carry out a | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
joint military exercise. This year's is bigger though, connected to the | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
missile test and rocket launch by North Korea. | :17:29. | :17:29. | |
This is a country always under threat, these stations are | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
designated as bombshell tours, and there are signs saying that. All the | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
same, the country goes about its business. They take these | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
bloodcurdling threats from the North in their stride. At this time of | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
year, though, the tension is particularly high. Every year, the | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
huge joint manoeuvres. This year, huge joint manoeuvres. This year, | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
17,000 American troops are joining 300,000 South Korean troops. But | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
there is now a new, more aggressive aspect. According to the South | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
Korean media, one scenario involves decapitating the regime in Kong and, | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
by implication killing or capturing Kim Jong-un to remove the head of | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
the country. The North Korean media said today that the country has | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
weapons that can strike the US mainland. TRANSLATION: We have | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
cutting edge attack methods to beat up the US mainland at any time, and | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
from anywhere. Also, we have diligently developed and deployed | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
self-reliant weapons in the era of the workers party of Korea, that | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
enables us to fire strong artillery is. In this battle of words, the | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
South Korean defence minister urged North Korea to cease its threats. | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
TRANSLATION: North Korea should immediately stop its rash behaviour | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
that leads to harsh corruption. China condemned the joint US- South | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Korean military exercise and stop it is unhappy about North Korea's | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
nuclear ambitions, but would be even less happy about the collapse of the | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
regime in Pyongyang, with those same American and South Korean troops | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
filling the vacuum. On the best estimate, North Korea has enough | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
material to make perhaps ten crude nuclear devices, but not the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
missiles or the technology to deliver them to far-away places. All | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
the same, Kim Jong-un is making relentless progress towards having a | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and that is something the US has said he | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
will simply not be allowed to have. Let's begin OS business by talking | :19:55. | :20:10. | |
about Wall Street bonuses. The average figure is that they were | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
down by 9%. Before you get out your hankies, the average bonus for all | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
these people on Wall Street is still a cool $146,000. That there is a | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
story here, let's bring you Michelle Fleury in New York. None of us will | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
be feeling too synthetic, given the size of these bonuses, but | :20:31. | :20:31. | |
nonetheless it is still a surprise nonetheless it is still a surprise | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
to see them fall that much? That is right. The last time they were this | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
low, I can't believe I'm saying that, it was actually back in 2011. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Some people are looking at this as a Some people are looking at this as a | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
sign of how Wall Street is changing, certainly since the financial | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
crisis, that you are starting to see profits being eaten into in part by | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
the vulnerability -- volatility we have talked about often in the stock | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
market, but also in terms of increased legislation some of the | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
banks faced. Some of it moving away from some of the traditional big | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Wall Street firms. The other thing is they are still paying the some of | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
the malfeasance, if you like, that grows out of the financial crisis. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
That also has dented profits. I get the impression this is just the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
amount of money coming through businesses, rather than any major | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
shift in culture, where people have reflected this bonus culture has | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
gone too far? This is where it gets interesting. After the financial | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
crisis, there was a lot of hand-wringing, people starting to | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
talk about whether or not the incentives were right. It depends on | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
who you talk to, people are split. Some say this is a sign that | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
cultures are changing, the big banks cultures are changing, the big banks | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
are not able to make the kind of outsized bonuses we have seen in the | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
past. Others will say no, it is just business as usual, and this just | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
happens to be a bit of a down year, in terms of profits, which is why | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
bonuses are down. The reason people worry about it is our traders | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
incentivised to take big risks? Because as we have seen in the past, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
that can go very wrong. It certainly can. | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
This next gig looks like easy money to me, Volvo is looking to recruit | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
100 people to commute to work next year. You have to do it in a | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
driverless car. If you are interested, here is Richard | :22:24. | :22:24. | |
Westcott. Gothenburg in Sweden, Holm of the | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
vote, a place where drivers need to be aware of the Elks. On a test | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
track, the company is showing me its unique experiment, and they will | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
need members of the public to help. They are going to ask 100 ordinary | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
people to commute in a car, but it is not an ordinary car, it is an | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
autonomous car. They will tell those people they are free to do anything | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
else instead, so perhaps someone to send an e-mail. From the tract of | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
the evening commute, where next year Gothenberg's hundred volunteers will | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
be driverless on specially picked roads. That is roads with no | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
cyclists or pedestrians, and bearing in mind it is Sweden, no snow. The | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
computer needs to see the white lines. About as hands-free as you | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
can get, the man in charge of the technology told me what would happen | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
in an emergency. If something unexpected happens, the car needs to | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
be put do that. We can't count on the driver to visually take over, so | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
the car will be able to detect it and it will slow down in order to | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
prevent an accident. So the car will do that, it will not suddenly showed | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
control back to the driver? The driver might be sitting back, | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
relaxed, reading, we cannot cut on him or her, so the car needs to do | :23:46. | :23:59. | |
it. Things look a bit different in the UK. There are four major | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
projects. In Milton Keynes, public transport pods will eventually use | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
the pavements to shuttle people between the shops and the station. | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
Would you happily share a pavement with one of those driven by a | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
computer? No, I wouldn't. It has to decide in an instant whether it has | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
got to stop or carry on going, the safety of who is if it all the | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
outside? Not worried about it bumping into you? No, not at all, | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
because you could know that away. In the US, Google leading driverless | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
vehicles. They have just had their first crash, were the computer was | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
partly to blame. You will see this technology in forklift trucks, | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
imports, one feels, down mines, and that for me is extremely | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
interesting, that this technology is not just about transport, it is | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
about all things that move. Back on the test track, time to enjoy a | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
drama on the telly. It could still take a decade or even two, but | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
eventually children will marvel at the idea that people actually used | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
to drive their own cars. Let's finish this half of Outside | :25:03. | :25:14. | |
Source with some beautiful images of the Northern might here in the UK. | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
They have and when electrically charged particles from the Sun enter | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
the Earth's atmosphere. Here are some of the best photos people have | :25:24. | :25:24. | |
been sharing. Thank you for joining me, let's have | :25:25. | :26:12. | |
a whizz around the globe and see what the weather has been doing with | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
some forecast. Across California, it is all go. | :26:18. | :26:18. |
