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

:00:07.:00:09.

Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.

:00:10.:00:12.

Donald Trump has said he now has enough delegates to win

:00:13.:00:15.

Industrial action over labour law reforms is gripping France.

:00:16.:00:20.

Trade Unions have also barricaded oil depots,

:00:21.:00:24.

Our correspondent has been talking to the captain of a ship

:00:25.:00:31.

which rescued more than 500 migrants from the Mediterranean

:00:32.:00:34.

Too many people on board were scared. They were not listening.

:00:35.:00:54.

And it's been revealed the US nuclear weapons force still uses

:00:55.:00:56.

a 1970s-era computer system - we'll find out why.

:00:57.:01:12.

Every day this week, migrants trying to reach Europe have

:01:13.:01:17.

got into serious trouble in the Mediterranean.

:01:18.:01:25.

A boat with about 100 people on board capsized 65km

:01:26.:01:34.

An EU ship was part of the rescue mission and tweeted

:01:35.:01:38.

It was these people that ship was able to pick up, but unfortunately

:01:39.:01:51.

at least 30 of those on board died and we know 77 were rescued.

:01:52.:01:55.

Yesterday on Outside Source we showed you some

:01:56.:01:57.

photographs of a different, bigger boat capsizing.

:01:58.:02:04.

Also in the Mediterranean, also a boat that had left Libya.

:02:05.:02:08.

Video has now emerged of that moment.

:02:09.:02:10.

I should warn you these pictures are distressing.

:02:11.:02:17.

These videos were supplied by the Italian Navy, who happened to be

:02:18.:02:23.

close by. This large boat was overwhelmed by the number of people

:02:24.:02:27.

on board. It started to tilt and then completely turned over and

:02:28.:02:32.

hundreds of people had to swim away from the hull.

:02:33.:02:35.

Five others though died - their bodies were

:02:36.:02:39.

The captain of the Italian vessel has been talking

:02:40.:02:43.

He helps those people in the water. It capsized because first of all it

:02:44.:02:57.

was overcrowded, it was taking in water. There was a leak, so there

:02:58.:03:02.

was a leakage, Walker -- water going into the hull. Too many people on

:03:03.:03:06.

board, too many people aboard, that was scared. Were not sitting, they

:03:07.:03:12.

were not listening. They were simply scared for their life.

:03:13.:03:15.

The people he and his crew rescued came ashore earlier today at a place

:03:16.:03:19.

James Reynolds was there when they arrived and told us

:03:20.:03:26.

Most of them are North African, that's what the captain told us

:03:27.:03:37.

shortly after they arrived. This is the rescue ship they came in on and

:03:38.:03:40.

all the migrants have gone. The Red Cross tents, which checked them when

:03:41.:03:44.

they were arrived, they were sent off in buses and a lot of those

:03:45.:03:48.

migrants will now be reflecting on their escape from a shipwreck. I'm

:03:49.:03:51.

sure they'll be thinking about their future here in Europe. The fact they

:03:52.:03:55.

are from North Africa may be very important, because Italy may decide

:03:56.:03:59.

to rule that they are economic migrants and they may now face the

:04:00.:04:03.

risk of deportation back to North Africa. So surviving such a dramatic

:04:04.:04:07.

shipwreck may in the end count for very little for them, because they

:04:08.:04:11.

might get sent back. It's hard to watch those pictures and not feel

:04:12.:04:15.

outrage the people in charge of that boat allowed that many people to get

:04:16.:04:20.

on. Do we know who was in charge of it? We don't. I actually asked the

:04:21.:04:25.

captain that question. I said, were there any of the smugglers, those

:04:26.:04:30.

who organised the trip, on board? He said he didn't know because they

:04:31.:04:33.

were rescuing people here, there and everywhere and it was impossible to

:04:34.:04:36.

separate who might have been a smuggler from who might have been a

:04:37.:04:41.

migrant. It's clear that in the 30 or so hours they were on that boat

:04:42.:04:44.

there was no obvious indication by the migrants or the survivors there

:04:45.:04:47.

was a group of people who might have been the smugglers. But that's

:04:48.:04:51.

something the Italian authorities will want to look at very closely.

:04:52.:04:55.

They will want to find was there ray helmsman, was there anybody steering

:04:56.:04:59.

the ship, or was it like some other journeys where the migrants are left

:05:00.:05:03.

and abandoned to fend for themselves? They will want to work

:05:04.:05:07.

out is anybody missing? I asked the captain, he said he didn't know, he

:05:08.:05:11.

couldn't exclude that possibility. That's a question that Italian

:05:12.:05:14.

officials will be asking the survivors at the moment. They will

:05:15.:05:18.

try to work out how many people are missing. Thanks, James. I often say

:05:19.:05:23.

this but there is a hugely valuable array of information on the migrant

:05:24.:05:27.

crisis and the many different ways it is impacting on the continent.

:05:28.:05:31.

You can find it online from BBC News right now. We've -- it's time for

:05:32.:05:39.

the sports News. Jose Mourinho has agreed a deal with Manchester

:05:40.:05:42.

United. It hasn't been formally announced but the deal is done. We

:05:43.:05:46.

are expecting the announcement tomorrow. Lots of coverage on the

:05:47.:05:50.

BBC sport up for details of that. We will begin with a story concerning

:05:51.:06:02.

Formula One. The family of Jules Bianchi is taking legal action

:06:03.:06:05.

following his death. He spent nine months in a coma but unfortunately

:06:06.:06:07.

lost his life. There were multiple events that took

:06:08.:06:27.

place to his accident and they feel the parties involved relieved to

:06:28.:06:28.

answer the questions they supposed about all of those events, the

:06:29.:06:32.

preplanning, the planning immediately prior to the race, and

:06:33.:06:36.

what took place during the race. And provide some cancers and accept

:06:37.:06:38.

responsibility for any failings. Jenny Gower is there already -

:06:39.:06:41.

she's got more details on this The Bianchi family feel this text --

:06:42.:06:56.

this accident was extraordinary and something that was avoidable from

:06:57.:06:58.

their point of view and that's why they want to look at the legal

:06:59.:07:02.

options for this, and that's why they are bringing the case against

:07:03.:07:05.

Formula One Management, against the FIA and also against the team, which

:07:06.:07:10.

was the Marussia team at the time. They're looking for justice for

:07:11.:07:13.

their son. They are still angry about what happened. They say that

:07:14.:07:18.

so many things changed after their accident, they believe that is the

:07:19.:07:22.

reason that this proves that something was fundamentally wrong

:07:23.:07:27.

and could have been avoided. One of the things about Formula One which

:07:28.:07:32.

is important to stress is yes, it's not 100% safe, but the sport is

:07:33.:07:35.

always looking to develop ways of making itself safer. They learn from

:07:36.:07:41.

every single incident. If you remember the Australian called

:07:42.:07:44.

pre-earlier this year, Fernando Alonso had a massive crash. -- the

:07:45.:07:49.

Australian Grand Prix. Things were learned from that as well as other

:07:50.:07:52.

crashes that have happened. Formula One is looking at a halo solution to

:07:53.:07:57.

try to protect drivers even more. Whilst they will never eliminate

:07:58.:08:01.

every possible threat, they do as much as they feel they can.

:08:02.:08:06.

Different sports come with different dangers.

:08:07.:08:11.

I've got an interview with Nick Blackwell to play you.

:08:12.:08:14.

He's the boxer who was put into a coma after a fight

:08:15.:08:17.

He's talking about how Chris Eubank and his father dealt with the

:08:18.:08:25.

incident in the days that followed. He could have come up and said, can

:08:26.:08:30.

I see Mick? He did everything he did went on social media, looking like

:08:31.:08:34.

he wanted to come and see me, he might have wanted to come and see me

:08:35.:08:39.

but you haven't got to do it on social media to make it looks like

:08:40.:08:42.

you care. He could have textured me to come and see me. That's what I

:08:43.:08:46.

would have done. I wouldn't have logged onto social media and tried

:08:47.:08:51.

to get attention from somebody in coma.

:08:52.:08:54.

A seven-year-old boy has written to Inverness Caledonian Thistle

:08:55.:08:56.

He says he can teach the players new skills -

:08:57.:09:01.

He also promises to clear it with his headteacher.

:09:02.:09:07.

The club posted it on their website. There is a vacancy, so someone is

:09:08.:09:16.

definitely going to be getting the job!

:09:17.:09:19.

It's less than a month in the UK votes on whether to stay in the EU.

:09:20.:09:23.

If they choose to go, what will that mean

:09:24.:09:25.

for the thousands of Brits living abroad in Europe?

:09:26.:09:29.

The British government is prepared to make changes to the Tata Steel

:09:30.:10:00.

pensions to help secure a sale. Potential buyers have been deterred

:10:01.:10:04.

by the huge steel workers' pension scheme, with its ?14 billion worth

:10:05.:10:10.

of pension promises and ?700 million deficit. Secretary Sajid Javid. Now

:10:11.:10:16.

that scheme could be overhauled under plans announced by the

:10:17.:10:20.

Business Secretary. We are launching a consultation on options to deliver

:10:21.:10:24.

clarity and security for British steel pension scheme members. We are

:10:25.:10:29.

-- we owe it to them, their families and communities, to do everything we

:10:30.:10:32.

can to secure the future of their industry. The British steel pension

:10:33.:10:39.

scheme has 130,000 members, a legacy of the vast numbers employed in the

:10:40.:10:43.

past. But to reduce liabilities, future pay-outs could increase not

:10:44.:10:48.

by the RPI measure of inflation, but by the CPI measure, which is usually

:10:49.:10:52.

lower. That could reduce the cost of the scheme by more than ?2 billion,

:10:53.:10:56.

but it would reduce benefits as well. That is another blow for

:10:57.:11:04.

Steelworkers, with their jobs already on the line yesterday they

:11:05.:11:08.

marched through Whitehall to urge the government tax. But one former

:11:09.:11:12.

pensions minister has urged caution over rushed changes, which he says

:11:13.:11:16.

could have implications for workers well beyond the steel industry. The

:11:17.:11:21.

big worry is rushed legislation to fix the steel problem, that has

:11:22.:11:25.

massive knock-on effects. The bulk of British pension schemes have a

:11:26.:11:28.

hole in them and there will be plenty of employers who will want to

:11:29.:11:31.

look at this very carefully with their lawyers to see if they could

:11:32.:11:34.

benefit from these changes as well, which would be to the of pensioners

:11:35.:11:40.

across British industry. That was a key concern for MPs in the house,

:11:41.:11:44.

that fixing one pension scheme could have unintended consequences for

:11:45.:11:48.

others. We need to tread carefully. This is a very important issue and

:11:49.:11:51.

it's absolutely right as the honourable gentleman said that we

:11:52.:11:55.

don't set any precedents, where the house may come to regret them later.

:11:56.:12:00.

But the heat is on. Tata is now drawing up a short list of bidders

:12:01.:12:04.

for its UK plants. It wants a quick sale. This move on pensions could be

:12:05.:12:09.

to making that happen. This is Outside Source live

on the UK's steel industry. Indian firm Tata is looking

:12:49.:12:50.

to sell its loss-making UK business but the pension deficit is said

:12:51.:12:54.

to be hampering the process. We've been talking about

:12:55.:13:07.

the Taliban's new leader. He replaced Mullah Mansour

:13:08.:13:09.

who was killed by a US drone. And one of the many things

:13:10.:13:12.

attributed to Mansour's leadership was that he developed the Taliban's

:13:13.:13:14.

involvement in the trade I've got a report now

:13:15.:13:17.

from Justin Rowlatt - it's about how opium production

:13:18.:13:20.

is increasing in Afghanistan - In Helmand, harvesting opium is a

:13:21.:13:34.

family affair will stop Afghanistan has become by far the biggest

:13:35.:13:40.

supplier of the drug in the world. The Taliban led the way, but these

:13:41.:13:44.

days farmers say who is in control of an area doesn't make that much

:13:45.:13:48.

difference to how much poppy is cultivated.

:13:49.:13:56.

TRANSLATION: The government fills their own pockets, officials take

:13:57.:14:00.

the money just like the Taliban. We pay whoever runs the area at the

:14:01.:14:04.

time. We have to keep them happy so they don't trouble our workers.

:14:05.:14:07.

Kabul the official line is that the government is winning the war on

:14:08.:14:12.

drugs, but the posters on the anti-narcotics minister's wall

:14:13.:14:16.

showing where opium is being grown tell a very different story. Most of

:14:17.:14:19.

the area shown here are government-controlled.

:14:20.:14:27.

TRANSLATION: If farmers grew opium in areas the government controls

:14:28.:14:30.

than you can be 100% certain the government will destroy it, with the

:14:31.:14:34.

help of local people and the police. But you only have to look at the

:14:35.:14:39.

maps here in the office to see that there is opium production in areas

:14:40.:14:42.

controlled by the government? In areas controlled by the government,

:14:43.:14:47.

farmers are not growing opium willy-nilly, but because of the

:14:48.:14:52.

poverty in the area. So they maybe some places where people are growing

:14:53.:14:58.

opium -- they are not growing opium willingly. This is Northern

:14:59.:15:02.

Afghanistan, less than half an hour from a city concert at the model of

:15:03.:15:05.

good governance. One of the key objectives of the war here in

:15:06.:15:09.

Afghanistan was to eradicate this stuff. Billions of pounds was spent,

:15:10.:15:15.

hundreds of lives were lost, and yet Afghanistan is expecting another

:15:16.:15:21.

record harvest this year. And these poppies are growing in what is

:15:22.:15:26.

nominally at least in the control of the Afghan government.

:15:27.:15:33.

TRANSLATION: I started growing poppies because we were finding it

:15:34.:15:36.

difficult to make ends meet. The government used to be very strict

:15:37.:15:40.

about opium. Now it's much more relaxed. It's good for locals

:15:41.:15:43.

because it means there is more work and more money for everyone. He says

:15:44.:15:48.

local officials are well aware what's going on. The proof? This man

:15:49.:15:57.

is the local policeman. The truth is that Afghanistan is expected to

:15:58.:16:00.

produce more opium and therefore heroin this year than the world

:16:01.:16:05.

actually consumes. It isn't hard to work out what that means. More and

:16:06.:16:10.

cheaper heroin coming to a street near you.

:16:11.:16:17.

The UK's latest immigration figures are out and they could hardly have

:16:18.:16:23.

They show net long-term migration to UK was 333,000 in 2015.

:16:24.:16:36.

As Laura Kuenssberg says in her blog, timing is everything, because

:16:37.:16:41.

we are weeks away from the referendum on the EU referendum and

:16:42.:16:47.

UK's membership. That allows British people to move abroad within the

:16:48.:16:50.

European Union. Many live in the south of Spain. Gavin Lee has been

:16:51.:16:54.

speaking to them about the referendum. Packed out and did good

:16:55.:17:06.

spirits. The weekly pub quiz on the Costa Blanca. What year was the

:17:07.:17:13.

Maastricht Treaty signed? The specialist topic today is the EU, a

:17:14.:17:18.

subject which the crowd here have questions of their own. Is no

:17:19.:17:23.

information about anybody in the UK discussing what other countries

:17:24.:17:26.

within Europe will do if the UK pulls out. I'm going to vote yes, to

:17:27.:17:31.

stay in Europe because I think it's best for the country. It's best for

:17:32.:17:34.

the British people and it's definitely better for us. If you

:17:35.:17:41.

think of Brits in Spain, it's a tourist destination of Benidorm,

:17:42.:17:45.

Tremoulinas, that might spring to mind, but when it comes to British

:17:46.:17:49.

people moving out here to live more people have chosen this lesser-known

:17:50.:17:55.

area of this town more than anywhere else in Spain, more than 10,000

:17:56.:17:58.

Brits here dotted along the coastline living the dream. Life for

:17:59.:18:02.

the British expats is made easier with free access to health care and

:18:03.:18:09.

pensions for the retired. But these issues seem a long way off for the

:18:10.:18:13.

younger generation here. At my age it's something I'm not really fast

:18:14.:18:18.

about and living out here for my selfish -- from a selfish point of

:18:19.:18:21.

view it's not going to change my life in any way. We should be

:18:22.:18:26.

thinking about voting, pensions, health care and obviously it might

:18:27.:18:33.

affect the expats over here. Your parents are voting. My parents have

:18:34.:18:38.

already voted but I'm at an age where I don't know enough about it.

:18:39.:18:44.

And they voted to remain? Yes, to remain. In the struggle to decide

:18:45.:18:48.

which way to vote many Brits on the beach say their personal fear of

:18:49.:18:51.

their lives changing for the words will leave that to them voting for

:18:52.:18:55.

Remain but it's not the case for everyone. I'm veering on the side of

:18:56.:18:59.

leaving, probably 60-40. My main concern is immigration. I don't

:19:00.:19:06.

believe that we can cope with more people joining the EU. You've got a

:19:07.:19:11.

property here but if you were here full-time, you were resident here,

:19:12.:19:17.

would that change your view? No. No. Officials here believe life here

:19:18.:19:20.

wouldn't change that much if the UK left the EU.

:19:21.:19:27.

TRANSLATION: The services here need funding. That money has to come from

:19:28.:19:30.

somewhere, including the taxpayer, but I don't think there's much truth

:19:31.:19:34.

in the idea Spain will increase taxes on the British here if the UK

:19:35.:19:38.

leads the EU. I hope we can keep them here. With the referendum

:19:39.:19:43.

campaign speeding towards its conclusion the people here will have

:19:44.:19:46.

to decide what's best for them, living on this side of the shore. We

:19:47.:19:58.

will take outside source away from the BBC News Rome in next few weeks

:19:59.:20:03.

to make sense of both sides, we will be in Edinburgh, Manchester, Kent,

:20:04.:20:09.

Paris and Brussels, so we're hoping to give you lots of perspectives on

:20:10.:20:13.

this campaign and we will be continuing the coverage after the

:20:14.:20:16.

result, which ever way it goes. To stay in touch with us over the next

:20:17.:20:20.

few weeks for extensive coverage of this referendum.

:20:21.:20:23.

We've found out today that some of the people responsible

:20:24.:20:26.

for America's nuclear arsenal are still using floppy discs.

:20:27.:20:32.

The US Government Accountability Office says the Pentagon

:20:33.:20:35.

is using what it calls "legacy systems" that urgently

:20:36.:20:38.

That's putting it mildly, I think, to a lot of us!

:20:39.:20:49.

For instance, this is the IBM Series-1 Computer -

:20:50.:20:51.

from the 1970s - still used to co-ordinate intercontinental

:20:52.:20:54.

ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers.

:20:55.:20:58.

This is the truth, it's not an April full!

:20:59.:21:03.

They run with this 8 inch diskette which can has enough space

:21:04.:21:06.

for 237 KiloBytes of memory - enough for 15 seconds of audio.

:21:07.:21:15.

check out all of this was true we asked our security correspondent

:21:16.:21:19.

Gordon Corera to come by. The US military has something called

:21:20.:21:27.

the strategic automated command and control system and it uses these to

:21:28.:21:30.

store data. It's really just one example in this report of legacy

:21:31.:21:36.

technology and the criticism is that the US is spending $80 billion a

:21:37.:21:39.

year on technology and the government but most of it is going

:21:40.:21:42.

on updating these old systems, rather than one investigated the

:21:43.:21:45.

latest technology because they simply are still there and it's been

:21:46.:21:49.

too easy to just keep using them rather than replacing them with

:21:50.:21:54.

something more current. Is old technology, and then there's

:21:55.:21:57.

technology from the 1970s. I'd have been surprised if they were using

:21:58.:22:01.

PCs from ten years ago. How have we ended up in a situation where

:22:02.:22:04.

nothing has changed for this long? The reply from the Pentagon is

:22:05.:22:08.

because it still works and that might be true and it might be true

:22:09.:22:12.

that it still works and clearly the technology which is using those

:22:13.:22:15.

floppy disks doesn't require a lot of memory, or a lot of data to be

:22:16.:22:19.

put through it. It's quite a simple messaging system perhaps. Of course

:22:20.:22:23.

there's cutting edge technology elsewhere in the US government. We

:22:24.:22:26.

know that, we know the intelligence community is investing in some of

:22:27.:22:29.

that cutting-edge technology, working with Amazon for instance on

:22:30.:22:32.

cloud computing. But certainly some of the systems do use that. You see

:22:33.:22:37.

it in other places as well. You hear some big banks occasionally when

:22:38.:22:40.

they fall over and you can't get your money out, the reason is they

:22:41.:22:44.

are still using legacy systems rather than the latest technology,

:22:45.:22:48.

often because of inertia. It works, people keep patching it up, using

:22:49.:22:52.

the old technology, rather than getting something new. Most hackers

:22:53.:22:56.

would have been born when this technology was brought in. Is that

:22:57.:23:01.

advantage? Is their security because no one understands them? That might

:23:02.:23:07.

be true. I remember the film, Wore Games, where hackers were dialling

:23:08.:23:10.

into the Pentagon is to try to start a nuclear war, it might be true some

:23:11.:23:14.

of these systems because they are not on the Internet are harder to

:23:15.:23:18.

reach in terms of hackers and outside actors in cyber security but

:23:19.:23:21.

it's certainly one of the big worries, that as they connect up

:23:22.:23:25.

more and more systems, they put more onto the Internet, they are more

:23:26.:23:29.

accessible to outside hackers. So yes, there is a kind of an upside to

:23:30.:23:35.

Mick Jagger -- to legacy technology, if a hacker got into these systems

:23:36.:23:39.

they wouldn't have a clue on what to do, how to affect it because it's so

:23:40.:23:43.

old and they've never seen it before. Two campers have been

:23:44.:23:54.

describing the moment lions entered their campsite in a national park in

:23:55.:23:59.

Botswana. We heard, I can't really explain the noise, it wasn't a

:24:00.:24:04.

scraping noise, we said, what is it? I said, it's nothing. I said honey,

:24:05.:24:15.

there's lions. I said, you're joking. I climbed over to see what

:24:16.:24:19.

was happening. As I opened the door, I saw a metre and a half away from

:24:20.:24:25.

me at most, two lions licking the moisture off the tent. You couldn't

:24:26.:24:30.

do anything, we just stood still because that's a good thing to do

:24:31.:24:33.

when there's a wild animal in the area. But very close, they've never

:24:34.:24:39.

been this close, and we had a couple of encounters before but never this

:24:40.:24:42.

close. When my sister opened the door and shouted, there's lions...

:24:43.:24:48.

She was very scared. That was for her very bad experience. But us,

:24:49.:24:54.

being there having been a number of times it wasn't, we were more

:24:55.:24:59.

excited to have them so close. Excite is

:25:00.:25:01.
