Outside Source Welcome to. We start in Westminster. The Prime Minister

:00:13.:00:22.

has been responding to a week of pleasure to see he is going to make

:00:23.:00:27.

it harder for people to salt away money overseas in offshore tax

:00:28.:00:36.

havens. Brazil is getting closer to impeaching its president.

:00:37.:00:43.

It was target of the first-ever nuclear attack -

:00:44.:00:50.

Inevitably, arrests have followed that terrible fire

:00:51.:00:52.

This happened in Kerala state and more than 100 people died.

:00:53.:01:04.

And if you have got questions and anything we are covering, please get

:01:05.:01:11.

in touch. All of your comments come straight to me.

:01:12.:01:26.

The week-long fall out from the Panama Papers has left

:01:27.:01:29.

David Cameron under severe pressure over the issue of tax,

:01:30.:01:31.

in part because of an offshore company set up by his late father

:01:32.:01:34.

and, in part, because of a ?200,000 payment from his mother.

:01:35.:01:37.

There is no suggestion any laws were broken,

:01:38.:01:39.

has published information from his tax returns.

:01:40.:01:44.

A few hours ago he made this statement in the House of Commons.

:01:45.:01:52.

The publication of tax information is unprecedented but I think it is

:01:53.:01:59.

the right thing to do. But I am not suggesting this should apply to all

:02:00.:02:05.

MPs. E Chancellor has today published information on his tax

:02:06.:02:12.

returns and the First Minister for Scotland has done likewise. This

:02:13.:02:16.

begs the question how far this information should go. I think there

:02:17.:02:20.

is a strong case for the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the

:02:21.:02:26.

respective opponents on the Shadow Cabinet to do this in because they

:02:27.:02:31.

are responsible for the country's finances. We have robust rules for

:02:32.:02:37.

mentally MPs interests and that is the robust model we should continue.

:02:38.:02:42.

We should not abandon completely all tax being confidentiality as some

:02:43.:02:54.

have suggested. So the Prime Minister was advocating that

:02:55.:02:59.

himself, the Chancellor and the shadow equivalents should do the

:03:00.:03:02.

same and publish the tax information. This is the Labour

:03:03.:03:13.

leader. Does he realise why people are so angry? We have gone through

:03:14.:03:22.

six years of clashing austerity. Families lining up at food banks to

:03:23.:03:30.

feed the children. People losing their benefits. Elderly Kier cut and

:03:31.:03:35.

slashed. Living standards going down. Much of this could've been

:03:36.:03:41.

avoided if our country had not been ripped off by the super-rich

:03:42.:03:49.

refusing to pay taxes. The key strands to this followed from the

:03:50.:04:00.

Panama Papers. One is tax havens and the Prime Minister says he will make

:04:01.:04:06.

it harder for anyone to salt away funds in overseas territory.

:04:07.:04:10.

Remainder sells, in Panama Papers the, there were almost 2000 British

:04:11.:04:17.

companies working for this one company and reused the British

:04:18.:04:23.

Virgin Islands more than any other tax even. We can no speak to

:04:24.:04:33.

Eleanor. First of all, these efforts of the Prime Minister to stop the

:04:34.:04:40.

attention on himself. What measures have been announced? New plans were

:04:41.:04:45.

announced today. He said overseas British territories as a tax even,

:04:46.:04:52.

all but a couple of them are no green to share information with the

:04:53.:04:57.

United Kingdom police and other law enforcement agencies. He has got

:04:58.:05:03.

them to sheer a register of interests which will reveal who owns

:05:04.:05:09.

and runs these companies in the overseas territories. This is part

:05:10.:05:15.

of the Prime Minister 's effort to increase transparency not only in

:05:16.:05:19.

the United Kingdom but in these tax havens as well. There was a further

:05:20.:05:23.

confirmation of other rules which will be introduced in the United

:05:24.:05:29.

Kingdom. David Cameron confirmed that they will bring in a new law

:05:30.:05:36.

which will penalised those who do not stop tax evasion. There was also

:05:37.:05:47.

confirmation of new laws for the overseas territories but one year.

:05:48.:05:52.

We have this talk of tax transparency, that despite the fact

:05:53.:05:57.

that he had not done anything wrong and neither had any other

:05:58.:06:03.

politicians. Yes, we have done last week having to cope with very

:06:04.:06:07.

difficult headlines. He has been forced to raid out these headlines

:06:08.:06:14.

over Easter and then he published his own tax fears. That has been

:06:15.:06:19.

followed by other politicians following suit. What the Prime

:06:20.:06:26.

Minister said Judy was that while he has published his information and

:06:27.:06:33.

the Chancellor has done likewise, the Leader of the Opposition and

:06:34.:06:37.

also the Shadow Chancellor, what the Prime Minister said was that he

:06:38.:06:40.

thought that would be enough. He did not think every single member of

:06:41.:06:45.

Parliament needed to publish their own tax fears and in fact, one MP

:06:46.:06:49.

said was that if they were asked to do that, they would resign. So far,

:06:50.:07:03.

we have had the most senior politicians publishing the tax

:07:04.:07:06.

information, but I think questions will remain. I do not think this is

:07:07.:07:13.

the end of the matter entirely. Thank you for joining us. Lucy

:07:14.:07:20.

Manning has been looking at these tax transparency in how the United

:07:21.:07:28.

Kingdom and we will be that report in about 20 minutes time. First, we

:07:29.:07:38.

can now go to Brazil. Here is a tweet from one correspondence. It is

:07:39.:07:47.

particularly important because a special committee has been asked to

:07:48.:07:54.

investigate her and whether she should be impeached. If the vote

:07:55.:07:58.

yes, the politicians will have a similar thought and if the agree,

:07:59.:08:06.

the president will be suspended. Letters be clear, the president

:08:07.:08:17.

denies any wrongdoing. The beleaguered Brazilian president is

:08:18.:08:22.

facing an economic and political storm. A lot of the population

:08:23.:08:32.

blames her directly. It tizzy multi-million dollar corruption

:08:33.:08:34.

scandal focusing on the state-controlled oil company. She

:08:35.:08:39.

used to be a chairman of the company. Although she has not been

:08:40.:08:46.

directly implicated, it has weakened her authority and that of the

:08:47.:08:50.

government. That is why many people here think she should resign or be

:08:51.:08:58.

impeached. This is a critical week for the president. Opponents try to

:08:59.:09:02.

drum up the necessary two thirds majority to begin this process. It

:09:03.:09:08.

is important to note that this has nothing to do with the corruption

:09:09.:09:14.

scandal. It is focused on allegations that government accounts

:09:15.:09:24.

were manipulated to hate the growing deficit. Supporters say this is

:09:25.:09:29.

nothing more than an attempted coup against the democratically elected

:09:30.:09:35.

government. In the last decade, Brazil was the darling of the

:09:36.:09:38.

developed world. The economy was booming. The country was hosting

:09:39.:09:45.

both the World Cup and the Olympic Games. But rising inflation and

:09:46.:09:52.

recession have undermined many of these schemes. It has also exposed

:09:53.:09:57.

many of the old divisions which never really went away, between the

:09:58.:10:01.

north and south, the rich and the pool. This is a deeply divided

:10:02.:10:09.

country with regular anti-and pro-government demonstrations of the

:10:10.:10:12.

major streets of the capital 's and other top cities. We can bring in

:10:13.:10:26.

Daniel. Tell us more about this committee. Who is older than her

:10:27.:10:32.

much power does it have? The committee is procedural more than

:10:33.:10:37.

anything. They want the president to be impeached, but how MPs will vote

:10:38.:10:46.

on Friday and Saturday and Sunday, that may not actually be reflected

:10:47.:10:51.

by this report. What we are hearing right now is that accusations being

:10:52.:11:00.

made about the president, so we are seeing the opposition MPs seeing it

:11:01.:11:04.

is not just about the problems she is accused of, but her government

:11:05.:11:16.

says this is actually an attempted coup. But what happens today is not

:11:17.:11:20.

as important as what will happen at the end of the week. The story is

:11:21.:11:29.

overshadowing the fact that the Brazilian government, is it still

:11:30.:11:33.

functioning? That is a very good question. It is a key point. Right

:11:34.:11:37.

now, the government has not really been functioning and been able to

:11:38.:11:45.

put anything through Congress. The question will be, what happens after

:11:46.:11:52.

Brady Saturday and Sunday. If the president wins that the vote and

:11:53.:11:57.

stays in power, will she be able to function in government for the rest

:11:58.:12:03.

of this mandate will she faced new impeachment charges? If she does

:12:04.:12:11.

lose, whoever is Brazilian president in a month from now, we'll we have

:12:12.:12:15.

enough power and authority? At the moment, it does not seen any sort of

:12:16.:12:19.

agreement could be reached. Thank you for joining us. Next, we're

:12:20.:12:28.

going to turn to Japan. It was target of the

:12:29.:12:31.

first-ever nuclear attack and the Secretary of State

:12:32.:12:39.

is the most senior US He is in Japan for a G7 meeting

:12:40.:12:42.

of foreign ministers. The G7 is a group of seven

:12:43.:12:46.

of the richest and most powerful countries in the world -

:12:47.:12:49.

America and Japan being two. Rupert Wingfield Hayes has been

:12:50.:12:53.

covering the summit. It has taken nearly 71 years, but,

:12:54.:12:58.

finally, a serving US Secretary With his Japanese and G7

:12:59.:13:01.

colleagues beside him, Mr Kerry laid a wreath

:13:02.:13:08.

to the 140,000 people who were killed here

:13:09.:13:12.

when an American aircraft dropped an atomic bomb right

:13:13.:13:15.

above this spot. There is no doubt this is a moment

:13:16.:13:21.

loaded with symbolism and it will be even more so if President Obama

:13:22.:13:24.

decides to come here and do But in a world where nuclear

:13:25.:13:27.

disarmament appears further away than ever, is this any more

:13:28.:13:31.

than mere political theatre? Mr Kerry certainly appears to have

:13:32.:13:37.

been moved by what he saw. It tugs at all of your

:13:38.:13:41.

sensibilities as a human being. This was a display that

:13:42.:13:52.

I will personally never forget. I don't see how anyone

:13:53.:13:56.

could forget the images, the evidence and the recreations of

:13:57.:14:00.

what happened on August 6th, 1945. Keiko Ogura witnessed the atomic

:14:01.:14:14.

bombing as an eight-year-old child. She welcomes Mr Kerry's visit here,

:14:15.:14:17.

but says fine words are not enough. "From now we will

:14:18.:14:26.

endeavour", he says. Why can't they say, right now,

:14:27.:14:27.

we abolish nuclear? She no wants the president to push

:14:28.:14:54.

for nuclear disarmament. Nothing has happened. This is the last chance to

:14:55.:15:05.

show the world, yes, I did achieve something and I am going to do this

:15:06.:15:14.

for the world of peace. It is perhaps a vain hope.

:15:15.:15:16.

71 years after this city was destroyed in the first nuclear

:15:17.:15:19.

attack, the world still has 15,000 nuclear warheads.

:15:20.:15:21.

More than 90% are owned by just two countries -

:15:22.:15:23.

If you want more information on the day he wash was attacked, you can

:15:24.:15:47.

find it true and what website. In a female men's time, we will play you

:15:48.:15:53.

a report on how this man has marked his hundredth birthday by doing

:15:54.:16:04.

this. More on that in a minute. A British woman who stamped her

:16:05.:16:07.

toddler daughter to death has been jailed for life.

:16:08.:16:17.

Ayeeshia Jane - her life was brutally snuffed out,

:16:18.:16:19.

the judge said, in a vicious beating in her bedroom.

:16:20.:16:22.

Her mother, Kathryn Smith, arrived at court today to be

:16:23.:16:24.

Seen here last week, she was described as a devious

:16:25.:16:28.

During sentencing, Mrs Justice Andrews described how

:16:29.:16:35.

violence was inflicted upon her repeatedly under the noses

:16:36.:16:37.

of all the various agencies that were supposed to be protecting her.

:16:38.:16:40.

Midwives, health visitors and social workers had all been monitoring

:16:41.:16:45.

Kathryn Smith has shown no remorse, but the 23-year-old wept

:16:46.:16:57.

when she was told she will spend at least 24 years in prison.

:16:58.:17:17.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:17:18.:17:21.

The British Prime Minister has set out his plans crack

:17:22.:17:24.

He's been under pressure since the leaked panama Papers

:17:25.:17:28.

showed he had owned shares in an offshore investment fund.

:17:29.:17:30.

A ceasefire in Yemen has begun - BBC Arabic is reporting that it

:17:31.:17:34.

appears to be holding in the capital, Sanaa,

:17:35.:17:36.

but there are reports of fighting Taiz, a city in the south west.

:17:37.:17:39.

A Moroccan man has gone on trial in Germany

:17:40.:17:41.

This is big news because it's the first trial which is related

:17:42.:17:45.

to the hundreds of sex crimes what were reported

:17:46.:17:47.

This trial is in Dusseldorf - most of the alleged

:17:48.:17:53.

He was jailed in the US in 1990 for smuggling cannabis -

:17:54.:17:58.

on his release he wrote a best selling autobiography all about it.

:17:59.:18:13.

Inevitably, arrests have followed that terrible fire

:18:14.:18:15.

This happened in Kerala state and more than 100 people died.

:18:16.:18:19.

All work at the temple, which is in a town called Paravur,

:18:20.:18:29.

and all are being questioned about an unauthorised

:18:30.:18:32.

These are some of the pictures we have.

:18:33.:18:38.

There was a huge explosion during the display and then this.

:18:39.:18:42.

A faulty rocket had fallen onto a large stockpile of fireworks.

:18:43.:18:46.

As well as those who died, nearly 400 others were injured.

:18:47.:18:51.

Yogita Limigh has been to the scene. This is what she recorded.

:18:52.:19:10.

This ground where I am standing is where thousands of people had

:19:11.:19:18.

gathered to watch the fireworks display on Friday night. Here is a

:19:19.:19:22.

concrete structure where the fireworks were stored. It is where a

:19:23.:19:29.

strain firework landed and that triggered the explosion. The

:19:30.:19:32.

concrete structure collapse. People in hospital are not just those with

:19:33.:19:38.

burn injuries, but those with broken bones. A man I met at the hospital

:19:39.:19:43.

yesterday said he thought the casualty rate was high because of

:19:44.:19:46.

this collapse. Local authorities said they had not allowed this

:19:47.:19:53.

fireworks display to go ahead. And enquiry has been ordered into how

:19:54.:19:58.

this fireworks display went ahead without permission.

:19:59.:20:07.

Now, a media story. The Daily Mail has been in talks about mounting a

:20:08.:20:20.

bid for Yahoo! Yahoo has struggled to compete with

:20:21.:20:54.

the likes of Google and Facebook. The current CEO joined from Google

:20:55.:21:00.

four years ago. But revenues have stayed stubbornly flat under her

:21:01.:21:04.

tenure and now shareholders want the company to have a new lease of life.

:21:05.:21:14.

There are a lot of obstacles between now and the deal happening, but here

:21:15.:21:18.

is a web technology correspondent looking at how the deal could work.

:21:19.:21:24.

It has a lot. It has 1 billion people using its services every

:21:25.:21:32.

month. $1 billion in advertising revenue comes in.

:21:33.:21:43.

It is still a popular e-mail service. It has a lot of people

:21:44.:21:49.

doing quite a lot of things. There is the Daily Mail's story. It has

:21:50.:21:57.

launched a successful news online service. It has a big audience in

:21:58.:22:04.

America. Still quite small digital advertising revenues. It is looking

:22:05.:22:08.

at Yahoo! And thinking, it may not be very clever, but it is big, and

:22:09.:22:17.

we are pretty clever. Maybe we can take it on board, grow exponentially

:22:18.:22:22.

and make serious money. What all old-fashioned news businesses are

:22:23.:22:26.

doing is struggling with the move from print to digital. The Daily

:22:27.:22:30.

Mail is doing it better than most, but needs to accelerate its digital

:22:31.:22:34.

transformation and hopes that wine Yahoo! Will do that.

:22:35.:22:41.

What we often do on the programme is to play you CEO programmes. Here is

:22:42.:22:48.

our latest. One of the great things if you run a

:22:49.:22:52.

business is to do with a great team. You are looking for diversity. You

:22:53.:22:57.

want the skill set that covers the whole spectrum of the things you

:22:58.:23:05.

need to face. You want product designers, salespeople, marketing

:23:06.:23:08.

people. If you have that, you can go at 100 miles an hour. Warning, teens

:23:09.:23:17.

and growth. We started we had a great team. If you expand your

:23:18.:23:26.

business and have more teams, it is difficult to get things right to

:23:27.:23:30.

make sure that all your teams are working at the same level so they

:23:31.:23:35.

can make the right decisions and grow faster.

:23:36.:23:42.

Now reports about a man from the south-west of England marking his

:23:43.:23:47.

100th birthday with a skydive. He definitely is a braver man than me.

:23:48.:23:54.

100 years old but he is not one for sitting still.

:23:55.:23:57.

For his birthday, he wanted to skydive.

:23:58.:23:59.

Doing one thing and the other which other people do not do!

:24:00.:24:05.

Born during the First World War and named after the Battle

:24:06.:24:08.

of the Verdun, he fought the Nazis but that was on the ground,

:24:09.:24:11.

Now a centenarian, he is at 10,000 feet and ready to go.

:24:12.:24:18.

I said to them I want to be first out.

:24:19.:24:21.

It is thought he is the UK's oldest ever skydiver and in doing

:24:22.:24:53.

it he has raised money for a local hospice.

:24:54.:24:56.

By then he will be the oldest skydiver in the world.

:24:57.:25:28.

Very impressive, and if you want to see any of our reports, you can see

:25:29.:25:37.

them on the BBC News app or on our website. That is it for the first

:25:38.:25:42.
