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

:00:00.:00:07.

We'll start with Europe's migrant crisis.

:00:08.:00:10.

Several Balkan countries have closed their borders to migrants.

:00:11.:00:15.

There are now 14,000 people stranded at Greece's border with Macedonia.

:00:16.:00:20.

Buckingham Palace has made an official complaint

:00:21.:00:23.

about a tabloid newspaper claimed today the Queen wants the UK

:00:24.:00:25.

We will hear some of the tributes being played to Sir George Martin,

:00:26.:00:44.

the producer of the Beatles, who died at the age of 90.

:00:45.:00:47.

We'll talk about the huge influence he had on their music.

:00:48.:00:50.

We'll get an expert's view on these pictures released by North Korea,

:00:51.:00:52.

which they say shows a nuclear warhead small enough to fit

:00:53.:00:55.

And in OS Sport we'll hear from the creator of the drug

:00:56.:00:59.

Meldonium, which Maria Sharapova says she tested positive for.

:01:00.:01:18.

The migrant crisis in Europe continues to evolve.

:01:19.:01:20.

Macedonia has closed its border with Greece to migrants.

:01:21.:01:24.

This blocks the main route north for many.

:01:25.:01:29.

To remind you - this is the route through the Balkans to northern

:01:30.:01:32.

Macedonia has closed the border because other countries have done

:01:33.:01:37.

the same - Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia have

:01:38.:01:39.

Hundreds of thousands of people have travelled through Macedonia

:01:40.:01:47.

There's around 14,000 migrants now stranded on the Greek side

:01:48.:01:55.

Throughout the last year, thousands of migrants have walked through

:01:56.:02:10.

Greece, Macedonia and into Central Europe. In recent weeks, many

:02:11.:02:15.

countries along the route have started applying tighter

:02:16.:02:19.

restrictions. The border between Greece and Macedonia has been closed

:02:20.:02:23.

and it looks like it will stay closed, and yet still they arrive in

:02:24.:02:28.

huge numbers. Who are they, why do they come? We walk the last mile of

:02:29.:02:33.

this journey to the camp and find out a bit more. We are all Iraqis.

:02:34.:02:43.

UDC -- Yazidis? Yazidis from Iraq. What has life been like? Absolutely

:02:44.:02:54.

difficult, there is no life there, only more. Women have been

:02:55.:02:56.

kidnapped? Yes, absolutely. 4500 women were

:02:57.:03:15.

raped, lots of men were killed. Have you heard of the conditions at

:03:16.:03:26.

Idomini? The conditions are really bad, only God can help us.

:03:27.:03:38.

TRANSLATION: It is very important to have the right documents, and even

:03:39.:03:42.

with them they are useless because we cannot cross. My wife is already

:03:43.:03:47.

in Austria, I tried to go through the family reunion route but I have

:03:48.:03:52.

been waiting for a long, long time, so I decided to make the journey to

:03:53.:04:01.

try to join her in Austria. TRANSLATION: There are not many

:04:02.:04:05.

people to help, but that guy is holding my daughter. Do you know

:04:06.:04:10.

him? TRANSLATION: No, I don't know him. You all help each other?

:04:11.:04:18.

TRANSLATION: God sent me an -- him to help me, he is from Syria. We

:04:19.:04:20.

must keep walking. Well, we have been walking for an

:04:21.:04:35.

hour with his family. You can see we are in sight of the camp. These are

:04:36.:04:42.

the outskirts of Idomini camp. You can see the tents laid out in the

:04:43.:04:46.

fields. There is a whole process that these people had to go through,

:04:47.:04:51.

they have to register at the camp, get a number, the numbers are called

:04:52.:04:56.

to the gate one by one in order, a whole process. But well have been on

:04:57.:04:59.

the road today we have heard from the Macedonian police on the other

:05:00.:05:02.

side that they have closed the border completely. These things

:05:03.:05:06.

fluctuate and these people live in hope that the border might open, but

:05:07.:05:12.

right now it seems like it might be a futile journey and they could be

:05:13.:05:15.

sitting here for days, possibly weeks.

:05:16.:05:24.

There is lots of background on the migrant crisis available on BBC

:05:25.:05:29.

News. Now this story relates to the front page of the Sun newspaper in

:05:30.:05:31.

the UK. Buckingham Palace has made

:05:32.:05:32.

an official complaint to the Independent Press Standards

:05:33.:05:34.

Organisation here in the UK after a front-page report in the Sun

:05:35.:05:37.

newspaper which claims that the Queen had voiced strong

:05:38.:05:39.

opinions in favour of Britain Here's our royal

:05:40.:05:42.

correspondent Peter Hunt. This eye-catching suggestion

:05:43.:05:44.

that the Queen favours a severing of Britain's ties with the EU

:05:45.:05:46.

is based in part on the conversation she is said to have

:05:47.:05:49.

had with Nick Clegg. He was Deputy Prime Minister

:05:50.:05:53.

at the time and according to this account, the country's hereditary

:05:54.:05:56.

monarch told her minister over lunch that the EU was heading

:05:57.:05:58.

in the wrong direction. Mr Clegg has dismissed

:05:59.:06:05.

the tabloid story as nonsense. I was lucky enough to meet

:06:06.:06:08.

the Queen all the time, but I suspect that if I had had

:06:09.:06:11.

the kind of conversation as reported It is nonsense, it is not true,

:06:12.:06:14.

and I think it is desperate stuff for the Brexit campaign to now

:06:15.:06:26.

try to make their case by dragging the Queen into the European

:06:27.:06:29.

referendum debate. I think it is appalling

:06:30.:06:31.

that they are doing that. In a statement, Buckingham Palace

:06:32.:06:33.

said, the Queen remains politically We would never comment on spurious,

:06:34.:06:36.

anonymously sourced claims. The referendum will be a matter

:06:37.:06:41.

for the British people. Two years ago during the Scottish

:06:42.:06:44.

referendum, the 89-year-old head of state made remarks

:06:45.:06:47.

which were interpreted as backing Four days before the vote,

:06:48.:06:49.

she told someone, I hope people will think very carefully

:06:50.:06:57.

about the future. That is one of the most followed

:06:58.:07:07.

stories in the UK, this is another. The record producer

:07:08.:07:12.

Sir George Martin has died. He was most famous for his

:07:13.:07:15.

work with the Beatles. When I first met them, none of them

:07:16.:07:30.

played the piano very well, and I started to learn the guitar, because

:07:31.:07:34.

in order to communicate with them, when I played chords on the piano,

:07:35.:07:37.

they would look at a funny bunch of white keys and it would not mean a

:07:38.:07:41.

thing to them, so I thought, if I can play the guitar chord, they will

:07:42.:07:46.

see my fingers and the shapes, they will understand better. So I started

:07:47.:07:50.

to learn the guitar. At the same time, they bought a piano each and

:07:51.:07:55.

started to play the piano. They overtook me and started to play the

:07:56.:07:57.

piano better than I played the guitar.

:07:58.:07:58.

God bless George Martin peace and love to Judy and his family love

:07:59.:08:06.

Ringo and Barbara George will be missed xxx.

:08:07.:08:10.

He worked with so many huge stars, Elton John being one of them.

:08:11.:08:15.

You will not find anybody disagreeing with that description.

:08:16.:08:25.

I've been talking to BBC entertainment reporter

:08:26.:08:26.

He became part of the group. At the fifth Beatle was a term also apply

:08:27.:08:37.

to Brian Epstein, their manager, who very much turned them into global

:08:38.:08:43.

superstars, but from a musical point of view, George Martin was the fifth

:08:44.:08:48.

Beatle in terms of what he added, in terms of the instruments, the

:08:49.:08:51.

orchestration of the Beatles. When they came to him they were a very

:08:52.:08:56.

rough, raw group who had cut their teeth in the clubs of hamburger and

:08:57.:09:01.

Liverpool, they had no idea of orchestration, how to put together

:09:02.:09:04.

an album. It was George Martin with his classical background that showed

:09:05.:09:08.

that what could be possible and took the idea is that they had and made

:09:09.:09:10.

them happen. Stay with us, Kevin. George Martin is credited

:09:11.:09:13.

with transforming the role of the producer in

:09:14.:09:15.

the music industry. Here's John Lennon describing how

:09:16.:09:16.

they worked together. George had an little... No rock and

:09:17.:09:25.

roll when we met him, and we had never been in a studio, so we did a

:09:26.:09:31.

lot of learning together. He had a very great musical knowledge and

:09:32.:09:35.

background. So he could translate for us and suggest a lot of things,

:09:36.:09:40.

which he did. Look, chaps, I thought up this this afternoon and I came up

:09:41.:09:44.

with this and we would say, oh, great, great, we will put it on

:09:45.:09:49.

here. He taught us a lot, and ensure we taught him a lot with our

:09:50.:09:52.

primitive musical ability, which is all I have, still.

:09:53.:09:56.

Lots of Beatles records that we know very well feature George Martin, but

:09:57.:10:02.

we do not realise it is him at his hand in one song or another?

:10:03.:10:07.

Absolutely, it is him but John Lennon would say, I want my voice to

:10:08.:10:11.

sound like a thousand Buddhist monks chanting on top of the hillsides in

:10:12.:10:16.

the fog, and George Martin would go away and make that happen. It was

:10:17.:10:21.

George Martin that created the sound of Tomorrow Never Knows, the

:10:22.:10:26.

fantastic psychedelic sound, by reversing drum loops. He created the

:10:27.:10:31.

orchestration for Alan Rigby, those stabbing violins. All of those

:10:32.:10:37.

sounds that we now associate, the creativity, the huge bursts of

:10:38.:10:40.

creativity that we associate with the Beatles in terms of their

:10:41.:10:44.

boundaries that they were pushing, musically, all came from George

:10:45.:10:47.

Martin. It is right that we talk about the Beatles above all, but if

:10:48.:10:52.

you look at the other people, the Beatles, they stand alone as being

:10:53.:10:58.

giants of the music industry? He had one of the most varied careers. He

:10:59.:11:03.

began producing comedy albums, one of the 30 produced was Right Said

:11:04.:11:07.

Fred by Bernard Cribbins, then to move onto the Beatles, Elton John,

:11:08.:11:14.

Sting, an incredible amount of people. It is testament to the

:11:15.:11:21.

skills that he honed with the Beatles that he continued using them

:11:22.:11:26.

when he set of his own studio in Montserrat, that the bans... Dire

:11:27.:11:31.

Straits would fly over to this tiny island would... In the Caribbean to

:11:32.:11:39.

work with him. That news if you are following

:11:40.:11:45.

Chelsea, they have gone 2-1 down at home against PSG, making PSG 4-2 up

:11:46.:11:49.

on aggregate. This is the second leg.

:11:50.:11:51.

In Russia the trial of a Ukrainian pilot is approaching its end.

:11:52.:11:54.

These are pictures of the mortar strike she is accused

:11:55.:11:57.

A Russian cameraman filmed the attack, his correspondent

:11:58.:12:03.

The woman on trial, Nadiya Savchenko, was fighting

:12:04.:12:13.

pro-Russia rebels near Lugansk in Ukraine and was captured.

:12:14.:12:16.

Her lawyers claim they have evidence that this actually happened before

:12:17.:12:19.

The trial is in the small Russian town of Donetsk -

:12:20.:12:28.

Sarah Rainsford is there - we'll hear from her,

:12:29.:12:36.

It was a fairly short session of court in southern Russia, but very

:12:37.:12:52.

dramatic. Nadiya Savchenko has been on hunger strike for five days, at

:12:53.:12:58.

one point she jumped onto the bench inside the cage inside the courtroom

:12:59.:13:02.

and showed her middle finger to the judge. A gesture of defiance, but

:13:03.:13:08.

also showing what she says she thinks of Russian justice. She had a

:13:09.:13:12.

translator read out a formal statement denying any guilt. She

:13:13.:13:17.

said that Russia has no justice, that this trial is a farce is being

:13:18.:13:21.

directed by the Kremlin. We have heard from the EU and the US this

:13:22.:13:27.

week, both calling on Russia to drop the charges against Nadiya Savchenko

:13:28.:13:30.

and return her to the Ukraine, saying it is an unjust trial, but

:13:31.:13:35.

Russia has said it is a criminal proceeding and the outside world,

:13:36.:13:40.

the West, should not try to influence Russian courts. Nadiya

:13:41.:13:44.

Savchenko is accused of complicity in the death of two Russian

:13:45.:13:48.

journalists during the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Over the course of

:13:49.:13:51.

several months, lawyers have shown evidence that they say proves she

:13:52.:13:55.

was captured before the journalists were killed, which they say proves

:13:56.:13:59.

her innocence. She is still on hunger strike and has vowed to stay

:14:00.:14:03.

on hunger strike until the verdict is delivered or until, she says, she

:14:04.:14:08.

is returned to Ukraine. But the verdict will not come until the 31st

:14:09.:14:14.

of March. Her lawyers warned, that unless she is force-fed, she will

:14:15.:14:16.

not live that long. The case of Nadiya Savchenko has

:14:17.:14:26.

become much more than just one woman 's claim of innocence in a Russian

:14:27.:14:31.

court. This is the Russian Embassy in central Kiev, paint on the walls

:14:32.:14:36.

from previous protests, you can see the signs and the heavy police

:14:37.:14:41.

presence here today. These protesters who have come out

:14:42.:14:46.

in front of the Russian Embassy, and across Ukraine, they see her as a

:14:47.:14:52.

symbol of defiance and hope in the face of what a lot of Ukrainians

:14:53.:14:58.

believe is Russian aggression. We came here today because Nadiya

:14:59.:15:01.

Savchenko is a symbol of the Ukraine. It is our hope. She shows

:15:02.:15:06.

the Russian citizens and the Russian Government that I can't break

:15:07.:15:11.

Ukraine. Thank God we have such a Hiro who can, despite all the

:15:12.:15:16.

trials, despite all the hardships that she faces at the moment, freely

:15:17.:15:22.

express her opinion and is not broken, her spirit is not broken.

:15:23.:15:26.

These people see Nadir Ciftci when Coad is somebody who represents the

:15:27.:15:31.

fight in Ukraine for true independence and sovereignty -- see

:15:32.:15:33.

Nadiya Savchenko. I don't know if you have seen these

:15:34.:15:43.

extraordinary pictures up a full solar eclipse playing out in

:15:44.:15:48.

Indonesia. I will show you the pictures and tell you how

:15:49.:15:51.

Indonesians watched it in a few minutes.

:15:52.:15:54.

This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of the Dunblane School

:15:55.:15:57.

massacre, when 16 children and their teacher were shot dead

:15:58.:15:59.

It led to changes which made private ownership of handguns illegal,

:16:00.:16:05.

and now, some of those affected have spoken to the BBC.

:16:06.:16:14.

It was just the most incredibly long wait. And it was like a form of

:16:15.:16:23.

torture. Mhairi was the only one who was evacuated from the gym who did

:16:24.:16:27.

not survive. I wasn't with her when she died. That is the thing that I

:16:28.:16:34.

regret most, that is the one regret that I have. I'd like her mother to

:16:35.:16:40.

have been with her when she died. I'd like her to have had her mum.

:16:41.:16:47.

That is an absolute betrayal. Evils visited us yesterday, and we

:16:48.:16:52.

don't know why. We don't understand it, and I guess we never will.

:16:53.:16:59.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:17:00.:17:02.

Macedonia has completely closed its border to migrants hoping

:17:03.:17:05.

to travel from Greece to northern Europe.

:17:06.:17:08.

Conditions at border camps in Greece are deteriorating.

:17:09.:17:17.

Some of the stories from my colleagues on BBC World Service...

:17:18.:17:21.

The World Health Organisation has warned that vaccines for the Zika

:17:22.:17:24.

virus may come too late to help with the current outbreak

:17:25.:17:26.

Scientists in China have developed a stem cell procedure which they say

:17:27.:17:32.

could revolutionise the treatment of cataracts.

:17:33.:17:33.

Remember, if you download the BBC news app you can get what -- the

:17:34.:17:50.

most watched and most red lists, which update according to how you

:17:51.:17:52.

are consuming the news. Deutsche Bank and UBS have lost

:17:53.:17:54.

a big case at the UK Supreme Court. They've been told to pay tax

:17:55.:17:57.

on bonuses paid to their investment In 2003, Deutsche Bank and UBS were

:17:58.:18:15.

among the banks setting up schemes to enable senior executives to be

:18:16.:18:19.

paid their bonuses free of any UK tax and national insurance, taking

:18:20.:18:22.

advantage of laws designed to encourage share ownership by

:18:23.:18:27.

employees. Staff were awarded shares which

:18:28.:18:30.

could be forfeited under certain conditions, and then they would be

:18:31.:18:34.

tax exempt. So don't bank set up a Cayman

:18:35.:18:39.

Islands company and awarded hundreds of bankers shares which would

:18:40.:18:41.

supposedly be forfeited if the plight he resigned was dismissed for

:18:42.:18:48.

misconduct within six weeks. In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court

:18:49.:18:51.

ruled by bad condition had no business or commercial purpose and

:18:52.:18:56.

was inserted with the sole purpose of avoiding tax. The tax must now be

:18:57.:19:01.

repaid. It also ruled against a similar scheme at Swiss bank UBS.

:19:02.:19:06.

Both banks will have to repay millions in illegally avoided tax.

:19:07.:19:11.

Jack Dorsey is a busy man, the CEO of Twitter. He has another job, CEO

:19:12.:19:22.

of a firm called Square. Its results have just come out, let's bring in

:19:23.:19:28.

Michelle Fleury. I had never heard of Square, what is it? If you go to

:19:29.:19:36.

any small merchant, if you are at a fair, for example, I don't know if

:19:37.:19:39.

you have ever played with your credit card, the chances are you

:19:40.:19:43.

might have used Square technology, it is a little white cube, and

:19:44.:19:48.

attachment onto your iPhone, I paddled tablet which essentially

:19:49.:19:52.

allows the merchant to accept credit card payments. It is a cheap way for

:19:53.:19:58.

a small merchant or retailer to suddenly offer you the payment

:19:59.:20:02.

facilities that a big store brands might be able to have. How is it

:20:03.:20:07.

doing? Well pretty well. It went public on the stock market last

:20:08.:20:15.

November. These are its first public results. It reported a loss, that

:20:16.:20:20.

broadly speaking its revenue has jumped much higher, its gross

:20:21.:20:24.

payment volume, the number looked at by investors, increased 47% year

:20:25.:20:29.

over year. There are signs it is riding this wave of payment systems.

:20:30.:20:35.

They are not very sexy, you might not have heard of them in terms of

:20:36.:20:39.

brand name companies that it is a growing area. The problem is that

:20:40.:20:43.

faces a lot of competition, many people are waiting to see weather or

:20:44.:20:48.

not it can survive against other bigger players. Jack Dorsey is

:20:49.:20:53.

probably glad of some good news from Square, because Twitter is having a

:20:54.:20:56.

tough time at the moment, I am surprised he can divide his time

:20:57.:21:04.

this way? He considers both companies his babies and apparently

:21:05.:21:07.

he spends the mornings at the Twitter headquarters and crosses San

:21:08.:21:13.

Francisco to go to the headquarters of Square, where he spends the

:21:14.:21:20.

afternoon. It is a huge workload. Looking back over corporate history,

:21:21.:21:25.

not many people have taken big a task, especially when you consider

:21:26.:21:29.

Square is still making a loss and Twitter is in the process of trying

:21:30.:21:34.

to prove its value. He has a big job. He joins the likes of Apple's

:21:35.:21:39.

Steve jobs who also run Pixar Studios and Elon musk, he runs Tesla

:21:40.:21:46.

and another company. Even Elon musk has said it does not allow you much

:21:47.:21:52.

freedom. It is a big job right now for Jack Dorsey. I feel tired just

:21:53.:21:56.

hearing about it! EasyJet has announced plans

:21:57.:21:57.

to develop hybrid planes - The airline thinks this

:21:58.:21:59.

could save around 50,000 tonnes of fuel for its fleet each year

:22:00.:22:07.

and up to $34 million dollars This is one of the scientists

:22:08.:22:12.

helping to develop the technology. It is pretty close to becoming

:22:13.:22:26.

reality. Most of the technology exists already and it is a question

:22:27.:22:31.

of integrating and using it on an aircraft. The idea is to use

:22:32.:22:37.

electrically powered energy to provide power for the aircraft while

:22:38.:22:40.

the aircraft is at the gate, and also to move the aircraft for

:22:41.:22:46.

taxing, so cleanly generated electrical power using a hydrogen

:22:47.:22:50.

powered fuel cell, but it is a hybrid solution because we will

:22:51.:22:54.
