and an unprecedented debate two days before the vote at Wembley Arena. If | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
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. |
