and an unprecedented debate two days before the vote at Wembley Arena. If

you want to join us tonight on Facebook, do and send us your

:00:00.:00:00.

questions. Back to you in London. This is Outside Source live

:00:00.:00:16.

from the BBC Newsroom. Welcome to viewers

:00:17.:00:18.

on the BBC News Channel. Donald Trump has said he's secured

:00:19.:00:23.

enough votes to become And it took three days,

:00:24.:00:26.

but a deal has been agreed Let's have a look at some of these

:00:27.:00:33.

stories from the BBC World Service. The mastermind of the 2010 bomb

:00:34.:00:48.

attacks in Kampala in Uganda has 74 people were killed when bombs

:00:49.:00:50.

were detonated during screenings Police in Bolivia used water cannons

:00:51.:01:12.

after a road test about disabled people. Police say people attacked

:01:13.:01:14.

them with knives. RyanAir has been accused of breaking

:01:15.:01:16.

electoral law in the UK by spending too much money when campaigning

:01:17.:01:19.

for Britain to stay in the EU. Anyone spending more than ?10,000 -

:01:20.:01:22.

or about $15,000 - should register with

:01:23.:01:24.

the Electoral Commission. That's one of the most read stories

:01:25.:01:26.

on the BBC News app. If you're on social media,

:01:27.:01:31.

you'll almost certainly have been on the receiving end of one type

:01:32.:01:34.

of abuse of another. A study released today in the UK has

:01:35.:01:37.

focused on misogyny. It shows that during three weeks

:01:38.:01:47.

in May, 200,000 aggressive tweets using the words "slut"

:01:48.:01:50.

and "whore" were sent worldwide. 80,000 different

:01:51.:01:53.

people received them. More than half of the people sending

:01:54.:01:59.

those tweets were women. Also today, a new campaign called

:02:00.:02:07.

Reclaim the Internet has launched. It's got prominent UK

:02:08.:02:11.

politicians behind it - The idea of the campaign is to take

:02:12.:02:26.

on the type of abuse I have just been detailing.

:02:27.:02:28.

Jane Wakefield talked me through it.

:02:29.:02:34.

Perhaps it is part of the problem that we are now accepting that abuse

:02:35.:02:40.

is there. Part of this campaign was to highlight the fact, the numbers,

:02:41.:02:46.

that half of these people even being misogynistic women themselves, in

:02:47.:02:49.

the hope that maybe we can start thinking, what can we do about it?

:02:50.:02:55.

That is what they are trying to do, UK MPs are trying to start a

:02:56.:03:00.

conversation about some of the solutions we might find. They are

:03:01.:03:05.

not offering any solutions at this stage? No, they are not. There are

:03:06.:03:13.

people who are nasty off-line and online it is amplified. You can be

:03:14.:03:17.

anonymous. You can pick your target and the chances are you will never

:03:18.:03:21.

have to confront them about it. We are seeing more people being

:03:22.:03:25.

arrested for really nasty criminal tweets.

:03:26.:03:27.

Over the last year on Outside Source we've reported a lot

:03:28.:03:30.

on the low price of oil - the ramifications of

:03:31.:03:32.

Yesterday we told you about ongoing protests in Venezuela.

:03:33.:03:40.

Constant food shortages and blackouts are being blamed

:03:41.:03:42.

Some of those pressures are tied to the fact that Venezuela is one of

:03:43.:03:55.

the biggest oil producers in the world. And also we talked about

:03:56.:03:57.

Shell's situation. Shell has announced more than 10,000

:03:58.:03:59.

job cuts in the last two years, And many of you will

:04:00.:04:02.

have noticed this. The price of petrol has been falling

:04:03.:04:05.

year on year. That's driven by

:04:06.:04:08.

the low cost of oil. Now though, things

:04:09.:04:11.

might be changing. Today, the price of oil has gone

:04:12.:04:14.

above $50 a barrel for Makes for a good headline,

:04:15.:04:17.

that's for sure. But I wanted to understand if this

:04:18.:04:24.

really is significant. I suppose it is a good moment to

:04:25.:04:37.

take stock of how much the oil price has rebounded from the very, very

:04:38.:04:41.

low levels, certainly by the standards of the last decade. Back

:04:42.:04:48.

in January it was $27 a barrel. That was really hurting a lot of oil

:04:49.:04:51.

producing countries. Now we are getting on for a level which is

:04:52.:04:55.

twice that. Still no compare to where we were two years ago. But

:04:56.:05:01.

nonetheless, a very significant bounce back which is certainly

:05:02.:05:06.

easing the more extreme end of the pain that some of those oil

:05:07.:05:10.

producers were feeling. What is driving the bounceback? It has

:05:11.:05:16.

partly been about interruptions to supply. A lot of American shale oil

:05:17.:05:24.

producers are cutting back. We have seen disruptions due to militant

:05:25.:05:29.

attacks in Nigeria, due to attacks on oil installations. And then there

:05:30.:05:34.

were those fires in Canada. That has made a big impact on Canada's oil

:05:35.:05:40.

production. The final push which took us to the $50 threshold was

:05:41.:05:46.

news from the United States about stocks of crude oil held by refiners

:05:47.:05:50.

and other suppliers. All that suggested there might be a little

:05:51.:05:55.

bit more demand for crude oil and that helped to just push it over

:05:56.:06:00.

that threshold. Do these rising prices strengthen the hand of

:06:01.:06:05.

countries like Saudi Arabia who have been against voluntarily reducing

:06:06.:06:13.

production? That has been a meeting of Opec in the end and it will be a

:06:14.:06:17.

little easier for the Saudi Arabians to say we don't need to take any

:06:18.:06:22.

dramatic action now. Having said that, I think there is no question

:06:23.:06:26.

that Saudi Arabia's own government finances would be a lot healthier

:06:27.:06:30.

with a substantially higher oil price without a doubt, but at the

:06:31.:06:35.

same time, they don't want to do any favours for Iran which has refused

:06:36.:06:40.

to take cuts in production and they don't want to do any favours to

:06:41.:06:46.

American shale produces either. This is a story which had me raising my

:06:47.:06:49.

eyebrows earlier. Snapchat has raised

:06:50.:06:52.

$1.81 billion in funding. This is a messaging app

:06:53.:06:53.

which is surging in popularity - but this is still a huge

:06:54.:06:56.

amount of money. Let's bring in Samira Hussain from

:06:57.:07:11.

New York. I was surprised because I had been reading it was struggling.

:07:12.:07:21.

They still have a lot of investor interest. Everyone really wants to

:07:22.:07:25.

get a piece of it. It is for a few reasons. One, Snapchat started as a

:07:26.:07:35.

way for teenagers to waste time but it has turned into a zeitgeist media

:07:36.:07:43.

app. Snapchat said their users look at about 10 billion videos in that

:07:44.:07:50.

app. That is a lot of eyeballs. There is a potential there. That is

:07:51.:07:54.

why so many investors are pouring in this money into Snapchat. They want

:07:55.:07:59.

a piece of the action before they potentially become a publicly traded

:08:00.:08:04.

country. What is the action? What will Snapchat do with $2 billion?

:08:05.:08:11.

One can only guess that they will try to find ways to monetise it,

:08:12.:08:16.

especially going ahead as they are perhaps going to become a publicly

:08:17.:08:22.

traded company. And they are probably going to want to brush up

:08:23.:08:27.

on some of their features. I think the face swap has been one of the

:08:28.:08:32.

most popular ones. Good stuff. Thank you. Those of you who are into

:08:33.:08:37.

Snapchat, BBC News has its own Snapchat account which you are

:08:38.:08:44.

The minimum wage is becoming a political issue in the US.

:08:45.:08:53.

Here's Hillary Clinton - "We've got to do more

:08:54.:08:55.

We can start by raising the federal minimum wage."

:08:56.:08:59.

There have been protesters at McDonald's global

:09:00.:09:00.

They've been there for two days while a shareholders'

:09:01.:09:03.

The rain failed to dampen their spirits. Protest of camp outside

:09:04.:09:19.

McDonald's corporate headquarters, are after something not on the menu,

:09:20.:09:25.

a $15 minimum wage and the right to form a union. We're not going to

:09:26.:09:31.

stop. It is whatever it takes, rain, sleet and snow, we will stay out

:09:32.:09:38.

here until the Donald is give us $15 and 80 union. She makes $8 an hour.

:09:39.:09:46.

It will relieve some of the problems I have being a single mum and

:09:47.:09:51.

working in this job every day. When I open up my check for the week, it

:09:52.:09:57.

is like, what am I working for? Along the way, there have been

:09:58.:10:02.

successes. Some of the country's lowest wage employers have announced

:10:03.:10:09.

small pay increases. The boss of the fast food giant Steve Easterbrook

:10:10.:10:12.

recently told investors the move had not been bad for business. The

:10:13.:10:18.

improvements we made to our compensation and benefits package

:10:19.:10:23.

for our employees in US company restaurants have resulted in lower

:10:24.:10:27.

crude turnover and higher customer satisfaction. But a former CEO

:10:28.:10:31.

warned employees could be replaced by robots if the minimum wage went

:10:32.:10:38.

up, which some people have said higher wages will lead to job

:10:39.:10:43.

losses. The fight for the minimum wage began here right here in New

:10:44.:10:49.

York for years ago. It has led to increases in Seattle, San Francisco

:10:50.:10:53.

and Los Angeles. But the protests outside McDonald's is a reminder

:10:54.:10:55.

that this issue is far from settled. I wanted to bring up this -

:10:56.:11:02.

it's a study in the medical journal, The Lancet,

:11:03.:11:05.

- and it links the global financial crisis of 2008 with a sharp

:11:06.:11:07.

increase in the number The study makes the connection

:11:08.:11:10.

by looking at issues like rising unemployment and reduced

:11:11.:11:20.

health spending. That had a knock-on effect on

:11:21.:11:30.

people's health. Very interesting. You will find it online.

:11:31.:11:31.
