Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Scientists hail a "milestone" in understanding what | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
New research gives a near-complete picture of the genetic mutations | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
involved and could lead to fresh methods of treatment. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
For years this he has been a mystery, Now he's given | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
an exclusive interview to Rory Cellan Jones and he says | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
I am going to come in front of the camera wants and I will never, ever | :00:33. | :00:44. | |
The BBC's been told that Zika virus could affect far more babies | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
The first cruise from the US to Cuba in nearly 40 years has | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
We are keeping a close eye on the English Premier League. It is | :00:55. | :01:10. | |
Chelsea 0- two Tottenham. To quickly mention that the ball, | :01:11. | :01:36. | |
this is the feed that we have from a pub in Leicester. That is a large | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
group of anxious men, women and children. At the moment, that game | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
is not going to the plan for Leicester. Chelsea are losing 2-0 | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
against Tottenham. If Tottenham if Chelsea draw | :01:51. | :02:05. | |
on loose, Leicester have the title. We begin with a story | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
of huge significance. Scientists say they have | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
a near-perfect picture of the genetic mutations that | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
cause breast cancer. Enjoying a spot of Bank Holiday | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Monday gardening, Vanessa Babbage But Vanessa has fought | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
a long, arduous battle After extensive surgery, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
chemo and radiotherapy, she knows how devastating the disease | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
and its treatment can be. It's actually worse | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
than the cancer itself, because you are constantly ill, | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
so they do try to help you to minimise the side-effects by giving | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
you other drugs to help the nausea and things like that, so | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
the treatment is very, very harsh. Scanners like this one are used to | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
detect and monitor cancerous tumours once they've already developed, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
but to understand the underlying causes of cancer, scientists have | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
had to go much deeper, to the level of DNA, | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
to try and work out what happens An international team of scientists, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
led by the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, examined all 3 billion | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
letters in the genetic code of every What they've found has transformed | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the understanding of what happens Getting a comprehensive collection | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
of information, including the mutations that are causing cancer, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
tells us something about why that cancer is going wrong, | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
why that cell is turning into a cancerous cell, | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
and if you can understand that, you can understand the causes | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
of the cancer, and then you can This opens up the possibility | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
of much greater individualised treatments for cancer, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
targeting each of the mutations. That's already happening with some | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
treatments, like the drug Herceptin, but experts believe this | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
could be a big step forward. What this study might | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
achieve is finding better treatments, matching | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
them better to women. By understanding the causes that | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
underline the biology of different types of the disease, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
we might be able to match better treatments and offer them things | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
that are more likely to work for Back at home, Vanessa Babbage | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
is moving on with her life after cancer, and she is optimistic that | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
science is starting to make real headway in the fight | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
against the disease. It gives people hope, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
because when people are affected by someone that they love | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
and they have breast cancer, they hope for a better future | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
for other women that are going to be This research has transformed | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
the understanding of cancer, and offers the tantalising prospect | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
it could prevent the disease This is the Australian | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
businessman who says he created He's called Craig Wright | :04:52. | :05:10. | |
and he's spoken to three media organisations - | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
the Economist and us. Rory Cellan-Jones did | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
the interview for the BBC - First, here's Craig Wright on why | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
he'd rather be doing no interviews. It is my right to say I did | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
something. Why do I have to take credit for its? Why? Wouldn't you be | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
proud? Yes, but that doesn't mean they have to bounce around in front | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
of TV cameras. It's been thought that the founder | :05:51. | :06:01. | |
of Bitcoin will have amassed That would give him or her a net | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
worth of about $450m. Now we know that the Australian Tax | :06:10. | :06:24. | |
Office is taking an interest We have told them about the tax | :06:25. | :06:37. | |
issues and implications. We put in everything but the auditors we were | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
using, and a number of tax lawyers at the time. We had an internal | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
audit and navigate back to the tax office so we could the right amounts | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
of tax. Because the body really understands bitcoins very well, the | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
timing or anything like that, it is still an ongoing matter. Lawyers are | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
negotiating how much tax I will. -- Iowa. | :07:04. | :07:04. | |
Next, here's a message for any journalists or award | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
If anybody ever puts me up for an award, I would never accept the | :07:08. | :07:23. | |
centre. If you put me for a Nobel Prize, put me up for some honour, I | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
will never accept the scent from any of you for anything. I am going to | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
do this once and once only. I am going to come in front of that | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
camera wants and I will never, ever be on a camera ever again for any TV | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
You'd have thought that this announcement might bring an end | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
He has already set off a firestorm on the Internet. There is passionate | :07:50. | :08:05. | |
community around bitcoin, people who know a lot about crypto currencies. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
They are all arguing if whether he is the real thing. They are saying | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
it is not sufficient proof that he is provided. In the last 20 minutes | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
was so we spoke to the Chief scientist of the bitcoin foundation. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
He was Sean proof by Doctor Craig Wright and he believes it, so that | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
is quite an endorsement. Can you explain what that says in a way that | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
we can understand? The proof that he has been giving to people is | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
evidence that he has got the big -- digital signature that belonged to | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
the Monaco used to set up the bitcoin transaction, the first one, | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
back in 2009. You know that's nom de plume did that. He is saying he can | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
reproduce that signature and verify that the private code that | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
effectively only that person would have. People will try to pick that | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
apart. Huge controversy raging amongst bitcoin enthusiasts. Some of | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
the leading scientists who have seen the believe it. He is this man and | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
what did he do if he did create bitcoin? He has been around in | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
academic competing circles for quite a while working on this kind of area | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
of crypto currencies. What he did was in 2008, if it is same, at paper | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
was published on the Internet in a very obscure area of the Internet | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
with these matters are discussed. A few weeks later the software to make | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
it happen was released online. He has been public about being involved | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
in bitcoin in one way or another. What is different is that he is | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
claiming he is the man that did it, but he said he did have | :10:01. | :10:01. | |
collaborators. We've talked about the Zika | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
virus a lot recently - but the BBC has learned how it | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
could be far worse than feared. Sarah Robbins said: | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
"Scientists studying test-tube "mini-brains" have been astonished | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
to see how fast the Zika virus kills brain cells" A couple of weeks | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
after scientists said more than a quarter of the world's | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
population live in areas at risk. The main risk is that Zika causes | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
case of microcephaly - Estimates are that 1% of women | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
who have had Zika during pregnancy will have a child with microcephaly | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
But now leading doctors in Brazil say that as many as 20% | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
of Zika-affected pregnancies will result in one of a range | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
of other forms of brain damage They've been talking | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
to the BBC's Wyre Davies. Perhaps some of the most interesting | :10:57. | :11:24. | |
work on these mini brains is it shows how effective and destructive | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the Zika virus can be. Neuroscientists were shocked by what | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
they discovered, a huge reduction in growth of this rebuttal cortex, the | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
crucial outer layer of the brain. We were all astonished by the fast | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
effect. We saw cell death within three days. Within six days, some | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
parts are completely gone. Here's Julia Carneiro in Rio | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
on the steps that are being taken Lots of work is being done on many | :11:58. | :12:09. | |
fronts. Researchers are trying to find out vaccine for Zika. The | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
government, all of the states across the country, are trying to avoid | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
more people getting did, but the virus is spreading in Brazil and in | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
many other countries and it is a very grave situation, especially for | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
pregnant women. The initial assessment, the first studies coming | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
night are trying to find an answer to the question how many women who | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
have Zika during pregnancy Google want to have babies with | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
microcephily? The initial and that suggested might be around 1%. What | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
the scientists are saying is that this number may be higher because it | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
is not just microcephily that may be caused by Zika. There are other | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
neurological problems involved and it might be that one in every five | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
children born to a mother who had Zika during her pregnancy has some | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
kind of problem. That might be a hearing problem, and eyesight | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
problem, convulsions later on in life. These doctors are also saying | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
it is very important to keep following the development of these | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
children, at least in the first two years of their lives to see what | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
will happen because as many people have been saying in the medical The | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Disappeared that microcephily might be the tip of the iceberg. The | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
English Premier League is at the sharp end of the season and that oil | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
is down to this, Tottenham are away at Chelsea. That is the Leicester | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
City fans watching the game. They know it Tottenham don't win, the | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
team, the most improbable champions in decades. You can tell that it is | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
not going for them. Tottenham are winning 2-0. Stays like that, it | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
will go down to them playing against Everton on Saturday. | :14:11. | :14:29. | |
A man has been shot dead by police in Kent. If followed investigations | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
into a man who was beaten to death in his home in a burglary last | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
month. Armed officers took part in a preplanned operation in relation to | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
them death of the 73-year-old man in Biddenden in March this year. Shots | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
were fired during the incident. One man was fatally injured at the scene | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
and a firearm has been recovered. Formal identification of that man | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
has not yet taken place but the family of a man officers wanted to | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
locate in connection with the murder in Biddenden have been informed. The | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
matter has now been referred to the Independent Police Complaints | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Commission, as is mandatory for all police shootings. | :15:22. | :15:33. | |
Our lead story is that scientists say they have a near-perfect picture | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
of the genetic events that cause breast cancer. | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
There is a continuation of fighting in Aleppo in Syria. John Kerry is in | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Geneva trying to salvage a crumbling ceasefire. In the Democratic | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Republic of Congo, thousands of people have been attending the first | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
day of commercial -- official commemorations for Papa Wemba. As | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
body is lying in the Parliamentary building and will there be taken | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
later to his family home for the public to view. A British firm has | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
admitted the selling a humidifier disinfectant that killed around a | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
hundred people in South Korea. This is the head of the company's South | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Korean division being attacked by relatives of victims as he | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
apologised. crisis several times - | :16:29. | :16:40. | |
well it's worsened. Its governor says it will NOT make | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
a 400-million dollar repayment There had been negotiations with | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
creditors but a deal wasn't cut. If we look back to the nature of the | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
Puerto Rican economy, it is very uncompetitive. It has a very complex | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
tax system. Its relationship with the United States makes it quite | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
burdensome for companies from outside to settle and understand the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
system. If we look at the key turning point we can probably go | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
back a decade and look at the exploration of section nine 36 of | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
the internal revenue code, which is to provide special tax breaks for US | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
corporations setting up organisations in Puerto Rico. When | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
those exemptions on corporate income tax were done away with, the economy | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
went into a recession that we are seeing to this day and the local | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
government decided to borrow heavily in order to balance its budget. That | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
effectively is what brings us to the situation today whether government | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
has been spending a lot more than it can afford and now it is in the | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
position where it can't pay its creditors. There has been population | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
movement. Because of Puerto Rico's special relationship of the United | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
States as a territory, if citizens are US citizens and have the right | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
to move freely in the United States. The population has pension shrinking | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
rapidly in the last five years. We can see a situation now with a | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
population of Puerto Rico will actually lose a generation, which | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
would dampen the prospect of economic growth in the medium and | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
long-term as the economic active predator weakens resettle on | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
continental America. If the government does not have money to | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
keep its basic services running, how can it respond to a special crisis | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
and one of the key issues facing Puerto Rico now is the potential | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
expansion of the Zika virus. Michelle, Hanley understand the | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
economic and political relationship between Puerto Rico and America. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
Part of the problem is that it is a territory not a state. It is not | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
eligible to applied for bankruptcy protection. In the city of Detroit | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
had to file for bankruptcy, it was able to file to get assistance and | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
to apply for certain rules as a state. This is not open to Puerto | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Rico. That is part of the debate and the application to Congress that at | :19:25. | :19:36. | |
some point Congress should reassessed that. It should be | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
allowed to re-negotiate with its creditors. Since it is not able to | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
do that we are seeing the situation where the government is forced to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
say we can't make these debt payments. We have seen several | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
repayments being missed. Thinking about the euro in crisis and the way | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
analysts used to talk about contagion if certain debts were not | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
dealt with, is there of the risk that what is happening in Puerto | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
Rico could cross over to the main US economy and have consequences? | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
People like to talk about Puerto Rico being America's Greece, but I | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
think the comparison is more like with the city of Detroit, which had | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
a manager that was brought in to manage the city back to health and | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
take tough economic decisions. The question is, what will Congress do | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
in the case of Puerto Rico? One lawmaker, Paul Ryan, was against the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
idea of taking control in Puerto Rico, but at the same time taking | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
fiscal control out of the hands of the territory. Something has to be | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
done. A lot of people are pushing for this idea to give them some kind | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
of work around the roof so it can apply for some kind of bankruptcy | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
detection and work at another solution. Whether Congress agrees to | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
that, that is what the talk is at the moment. | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
Next, airships! They are being reinvented by one British company. | :21:14. | :21:25. | |
This hangar has remarkable history. Some of the largest aircraft ever to | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
take to the skies were built here. That was almost a century ago that | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
inside now a new airborne giant is taking place. This is the error land | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
of ten. It is 90 metres long, longer than a super jumbo. It contains | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
28,000 cubic metres of helium and it can stay in the air for five days. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
It was created by hybrid air vehicles for the US military as a | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
high-flying spy in the sky but the project was cancelled, so the | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
company's engineers brought back all the kit and decided to develop it | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
for themselves. It is a mixture of the plane, helicopter and airships. | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
It is a lifting body shape, it has gas inside it and its engines can | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
trust air up, down, left and right degree of flight. What is it | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
actually like to fly? We are cruising over the centre of London. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
I have the normal flight instruments. The test pilot is | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
finding out in this simulator. You can feel the inertia of the | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
aeroplane aloft. You make small control in Britain before the clap | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
to respond. It is a bit like steering the ship. Hybrid air | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
vehicles think that it can be used for a huge variety of tasks from | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
disaster relief to tourism. It says the aircraft is almost ready to take | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
to the skies in Britain for the first time. | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
He's no stranger to incendiary comments - | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
today Donald Trump has taken aim at China, saying their raping | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
the US, whilst criticising their trade policy. | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
We have a 500 and dollar deficit, trade deficit, with China. We were | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
going to turn it around. We have the cards. We are like the piggy bank | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
that is being robbed. We have a lot of power with China. If China | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
doesn't want to fix the problem in North Korea we say, fixed the | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
problem because we can't allow China to continue to rape our country and | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
that is what the doing. It is the greatest theft in the history of the | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
world. I have been speaking about this and how it is seen in China. If | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
you look at the figures, China and the US has a huge trade deficit. In | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
the first two months of this year the trade deficits between the two | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
countries reached 57 billion US dollars. This is the kind of | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
interesting, easy rhetoric to sell to the voters, that China is ripping | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
off the US. He has been repeating this line for many months. He used | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
this very derogatory word today. He feels like China is devaluing the | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
currency. The liberally. That is one of the speculations. The reality is | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
more complicated. The reason why Chinese currency is devaluing is | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
partly because Chinese policymakers might want to make China's export | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
more competitive, but also its reflects an economic domestic | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
reality is that a lot of capital is leaving the country. That is to do | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
value that currency. Looking at the economics, the two countries are | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
having a more complicated economic relationship than ever. When Donald | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Trump speaks, the people in China care? Some do. A lot of the Chinese | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
observers are quite sophisticated and they know this this is China | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
bashing. Ever since President Nixon visited China in 1972, China has | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
been a focal point in every American election. This is not exceptional, | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
at all. It is getting tense and English Premier League. Let's look | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
at the pub in Leicester. If Tottenham don't beat Chelsea, | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Leicester City will win the championship. Chelsea have a goal | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
back. It is 1-2 at Stamford Bridge. If it stays like that, Leicester | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
will be champions today. We will keep an eye on it. | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
Time to check out some high impact noteworthy weather worldwide. Let's | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
start in North America. We have had an explosion of thick cloud across | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
parts of the deep South. This is the focus for further potentially | :26:21. | :26:21. | |
flooding | :26:22. | :26:22. |
