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

Two people are still on the run after Tuesday's raid

Four suspected Islamist militants have also been arrested in France.

The Chancellor has delivered his eighth budget.

He says it puts the next generation first, but the opposition said it

Katty Kay is with us to digest the latest round of US primaries.

can anybody stop Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?

They both took significant steps towards the nominations.

And the latest on the Champions League in OS Sport.

We're on air an hour earlier than usual in some parts

of the world - it's to do with the US moving their clocks

We have this two-week stretch where we have to do a bit of a dance to

keep all the audiences happy. We're on at this time for two weeks,

then back to 9pm in the UK. Ohio, Florida, Illinois,

North Carolina and Missouri. Really important states. The two

that got the most attention were Ohio and Florida.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton racked up big wins,

and it was a knock-out blow for Marco Rubio.

Here's how the night went from the Republican side.

I have to thank the people of the great state of Ohio. I love you.

Thank you very much, everybody. This was an amazing evening. A great

evening. They just announced North Carolina. Every Republican has a

choice. Only two campaigns have a plausible path to the nomination.

Hours, and Donald Trump's. While it is not God 's plan that I be

president in 2016, or maybe ever, while today my campaign is

suspended... Catty K is live with us. People stay

in these races for two reasons. They think that they can have some

influence with whoever is going to win. How would you describe Ted Cruz

and the other contenders? Ted Cruz said it last night. Numerically, he

does have a bigger chance than anyone else did in the Republican

field. He's won more states, and ahead in the delegate camp compared

to the others. So why doesn't somebody like Tom Casey, who has no

numerical possibility of staying in the race at all, but he stays in the

race because he hopes that Donald Trump will not get a majority. The

Republicans will get the chance to correlate their nominee and it will

not be able to be Donald Trump because of the numbers. The party

will go up in the air, and then John Kasich will emerge as the face of

the Republican party. It would probably take a bolt of lightning at

this stage. But even if it had to go to a convention like that, we've

just been saying, would it be politically viable to give it to

anyone other than Donald Trump, even if it was possible using the rules?

Well he certainly thinks not. He was warning of riots if he doesn't get

the nomination in Cleveland. It depends on how close he is to that

magic number. If he's 100 delegates short and everyone else's way behind

him, he can make a case that he hasn't technically got to 1237

delegates, but no one else is close, and he is the clear majority

favourite. It is a good case he can make. The Republican party can say,

the rules are the rules, and you have to get to that number, and we

will start the process all over again, which is what a brokered

convention does. We will have to see. There are not so many big

states voting all at once from now on, and we will have to see how he

inches his way forward on the delegate count.

That's the Republicans - now for the Democrats.

Hillary Clinton won Florida, Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina

This is another super Tuesday for our campaign. Thank you, Florida,

thank you, North Carolina, thank you, Ohio! The reason that we have

done as well as we have, the reason that we have defied all

expectations, is that we are doing something very radical in American

politics. We are telling the truth! Here's an interesting piece of

analysis from a guy who used to be the White House -- White House

spokesperson under George W Bush. He said that effectively today, Hillary

Clinton was elected president. We have eight months of

hyperventilating before it is official. Do you agree? Democrats

love hearing that from a Republican. The Clinton campaign thinks that

Trump is a good opponent for them because he can't expand his appeal

very far beyond white, working-class, male voters. They say

they can get more women, more African Americans, more Hispanics,

peel away a few white men, and that gives them the chance of winning the

presidency. That's the reason behind that sweet. But this is a very

unpredictable campaign year, and identity anyone can take anything

for granted. We don't know how much of a movement beyond the primary

campaign Donald Trump might be able to sweep up. I think the Clinton

campaign, whilst they have a good feeling about their prospects

against Donald Trump, they would be crazy to take this for granted. We

will have to wait and see what the voters say about Hillary Clinton

being in the White House come November. Thank you for being with

us. A couple of important

Champions League matches tonight The pick of the Tasers Barcelona

against Arsenal. Let's go live to the BBC Sports Centre. Last time I

checked, it was looking awful for the gunners. They have a mountain to

climb tonight. They were 2-0 down from the first leg and are 1-0 down

tonight at half-time. Let's look at the mountain Arsenal. Facing Marcelo

Melo are on a 37 match -- Barcelona are on a 37 match winning run. They

have a strike force made up of Neymar, Luis Suarez and the

incomparable Lionel Messi. On the verge of scoring his 500th goal for

club and country. Arsenal were knocked out of the FA Cup by Watford

on Saturday and are 11 points off the table in the Premier League. To

be fair on Arsenal, they have had the better chances in the first

half, but quite a way to go for them if they want to make it to the

quarterfinals. Via Munich against Juventus, there is a bit of a shock

on the cards. Juventus are 2-0 mil up on the night. They are for- two

on aggregate. It looks like there could be an upset on the cards. That

would be a story. Pep Guardiola's last Champions League campaign with

Bayern Munich not going to plan at the moment.

Three kids have presumably had their dreams come true

after taking part in a Barcelona training session.

The three boys snuck onto the pitch being used by players

like Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Good to see the player is dealt with this properly.

Instead of being kicked out, the players were included

in a training routine - and left with signatures

Fifa has admitted some votes were bought during the process

Story in itself - but this story takes some digesting.

It's admitting this as part of legal proceedings against former Fifa

members, individuals it alleges are corrupt.

That's Fifa admitting corruption, but saying,

This was part of a scam, it's claimed, where they took bribes,

there was racketeering, money laundering worth tens of millions of

dollars. Fifa say they want some of that money back. They are saying, it

wasn't us, it wasn't the people -- it was the people associated with

us, the confederations that run foot will in South America, North and

Central America and the Caribbean. They were separate legal entities so

they could operate beyond the boundaries of Fifa.

Now to South Africa's mountain biking race,

The route passes through Tulbagh, Wellington,

These are all close to Cape Town. Let's show you some of the action.

It is exhilarating and used to fool at the same time.

Four-time winner Karl Platt of Germany and his Swiss partner

It is very picturesque for everyone watching on.

Lots going on in Brazil for us to talk about in a few minutes.

The former president has been given a cabinet post,

despite the fact he's being investigated for

The Chancellor talked about a dangerous cocktail

So how will he go about balancing the books?

Andy Verity has been crunching the numbers.

Add some turbulent financial markets.

All the ingredients you need to make the world economy go

As we imbibe the effects we are slowing down as well.

The Office for Budget Responsibility now thinks we will be producing far

less per person than it had hoped as recently as November.

The OBR slashed its prediction for economic growth this year

Largely because of that slower productivity.

If that is not going up as fast as hoped, earnings will not go up

as fast as hoped, the economy will not grow as fast,

And that's the thing we should be talking about more

Not just for the Chancellor but how well off we all are.

Slower growth should mean less tax money for the Chancellor.

But somehow said the official predictions, he's still on course.

He will still be spending more than his income,

in other words running a deficit, until 2019.

But it will not reduce as quickly until the final year when it

suddenly turns into a surplus of ?10.4 billion.

That is a huge swing and in the last of the Parliament, ?32 billion.

What is more he somehow found the money for big tax giveaways

like the lifetime ISA and freezing fuel duty.

Raising tax thresholds for next year will cost him ?2.5 billion.

And more relief for small businesses with business rates

A giveaway to begin with and then a takeaway, the years

for which the government has a target to achieve

What is striking is we do have quite a big squeeze taking place in 2019.

That big squeeze will mean big spending cuts.

?3.5 billion in efficiency savings from government departments,

Making public sector employees pay more in pensions.

And making it harder to claim money for special equipment

if you are disabled, saving ?1.3 billion,

Next around the world it's World News America.

They're looking at president Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland

for the vacant seat on the US Supreme Court.

In an hour's time, it's the News at Ten in the UK.

It's got lots more coverage of today's budget, including

the introduction of a tax on sugary drinks.

The former Brazilian President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,

Just a few weeks ago, he was questioned and his homes

were searched over allegations of money laundering.

He was released without charge later the same day.

The following day President Roussef -

herself facing impeachment proceedings - showed her support.

Well now, Lula has flown to Brasillia to be offered the role

One other thing to mention - by joining the cabinet,

Lula will escape the jurisdiction of federal judges.

Let's bring in Julia Carneiro my mind from Rio de Janeiro. There will

not be a shortage of critics who make a connection between all of

these events. What to do to people involved have to say? This is a very

controversial move. The president and the government say the

government will be strengthened by bringing Lula in. He has lots of

political expertise, and the government is weak and with its

coalition almost shattered, so he's seen as someone who can help bring

people together and help avoid the impeachment proceedings that Dilma

Rousseff is facing. However, he is facing all these investigations, so

bringing him into the government is seen by many in the opposition, and

many Brazilians who were out protest Inc last Sunday, many people taking

part in these demonstrations see this as a blow to any kind of trust

towards the government. There's lots of disbelief today on social media

about this move. It could backfire for the president. She's already

extremely unpopular, facing lots of mistrust, and we will have to follow

how this develops. Even members of the opposition are saying they will

go to court to challenge this appointment of former President Lula

to take part in her government. Presumably those in the government

would see the judiciary as not being neutral, not being politically

neutral. Yes. Former President Lula denies all the charges and

allegations he's facing. He says they are politically motivated and

there is a witchhunt against the workers party. This is part of a

very wide and serious investigation that is taking place here in Brazil

into this huge corruption scheme. It's an important development going

on here in Brazil that people are following very closely. Now that

he's going back to the government, he's going to be the second most

powerful person in government, it's a bit of an irony. People are saying

that although he's there to avoid the impeachment proceedings, it is

like Dilma Rousseff handing power over to him. People are saying that

he might -- she might be like the Queen of England, unable to govern,

if he is there. Thank you for explaining it to us. That will be

our last report on Outside Source. Thanks for watching.
