Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
President Trump has had his first meeting | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The two leaders discussed terrorism, and cooperation on trade and growth. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
North Korea has declared Sunday's ballistic missile test a success. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
President Trump described North Korea as a "big, big problem". | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
We'll look at how his administration dealt with this first test. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Mr Trump's Security adviser is under pressure. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
He's accused of discussing sanctions with Russia before the end | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
He's initially denied this, now he's not so sure. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
And in sport Manny Pacquiao's turned to a Twitter poll | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
We'll look at how this is going to work. | :00:56. | :01:10. | |
This is the US National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
He's accused of discussing sanctions on Russia | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
with the Russian's US ambassador before Donald Trump | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Doing so would have violated laws on private citizens | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
A senior White House official has said... | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
to weigh in on the sensitive matter." | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Mr Flynn had shifted, he had said sanctions | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
Next factor in the Washington Post, which has nine current | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
and former officials saying sanctions did come up. | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
We also know Michael Flynn has relations with senior Russians. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Here he is at a banquet with Vladimir Putin last year. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
I get that if he has done this, it matters and it could break the law. | :02:15. | :02:28. | |
But it feels like it matters more than that to the people covering it, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
this has become symbolic of something? I think it has become a | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
test of two things. One is whether this is a functioning White House | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
that has personnel that can do their jobs without becoming captured by | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
some scandal or upset. The second is it is a test of the President's | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
loyalty. We have just had the adviser to the president on American | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
television in the last few minutes saying, Michael Flynn enjoys the | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
confidence of the president. So there has been speculation over the | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
course of the weekend over whether the general would be forced out of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
his position as national security adviser. But according to the | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
President's adviser says that is not going to happen. How significant is | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
this man within Donald Trump's world? It is a very important | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
position. Whilst you have a team of national security personnel | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
including the secretary of defence and the Secretary of State, and to | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
some extent, the secretary of homeland security, the one person | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
who sits in the White House near the oval office and is there all the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
time is the national security adviser. It is a political | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
appointment by the President, doesn't go through Congress. He is | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
there all the time and is the last person in the room. It always gives | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
the national Security adviser and loss of influence. In this case, the | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
two are close because in their campaign, when national security | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
figures, including national security figures in the Republican Party were | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
abandoning Donald Trump and openly criticising him, the one person who | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
stuck up for him and took his position was General Michael Flynn. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
In Donald Trump's world, that earns you a lot of brownie points. I want | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
to ask about the rhythm of Washington and the relationship | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
between the president and the city. He is not spending many weekends in | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
town, years in the sunshine in Florida, what are people making | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
about? He has already been tries to what he calls the winter White | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
House. He was there with the Japanese Prime Minister. We have | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
seen nothing of Melania trumpet here in Washington since the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
inauguration. That is very rare. I have not seen it in modern times | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
since I have been covering the White House. She seems to prefer to go to | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Florida. He will fly down to Florida, he likes getting away from | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Washington. 96% of residents in the city did not vote for him. He says | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Florida is the place he feels most relaxed. There are questions how | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
much it costs taxpayers in terms of security and be forced one flight. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
$3 million was the quote for the first weekend. It is within his | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
right, all presidents have a place to retreat to, he just seems to do | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
it a bit more often. Tikay, thank you very much. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
One of the remarkable events this weekend was when the president was | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
told what North Korea had done. Over the weekend, North Korea | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
announced it had successfully test-launched a mid to long | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
range ballistic missile. This is the first time | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
since becoming President that Donald Trump has faced this kind | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
of provocation from At today's press conference | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
Donald Trump said this: When I was campaigning, I said it is | :06:08. | :06:21. | |
not a good situation. Now that I see it, including intelligence | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
briefings, we have problems a lot of people had no idea how bad they are | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
and how serious. Not only internationally, but North Korea is | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
a big, big problem. We will deal with that very strongly. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Earlier the BBC spoke with former US Ambassador to the UN, | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Bill Richardson about how Mr Trump has responded. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
I believe he made the correct response, basically saying we stand | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
behind the Japanese, without overreacting and without talking | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
about what steps the United States and the Allies might take in | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
response to this violation of the Security Council resolution. I give | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
him good marks for being restrained. Now he has a lot of options on the | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
table. Clearly North Korea was testing the new Administration, they | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
like to get into these ideological and policy skirmishes. I think the | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
president kept his options open. The next test is, what do we do? They | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
are not very good options. The first one is go to the Security Council at | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
the UN, which is what we are doing now. Possibly more sanctions. At the | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
very least, a condemnation of this ballistic missile, which was | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
intermediate, it wasn't a long one. It was on routine, but a | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
provocation, nonetheless. Joe Root is the new test captain | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
of the England cricket team. He'll take over from Alistair Cook | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
who resigned last week. For those of you watching | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
for whom cricket is a mystery, test cricket is the longest version | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
of the game. Tremendous performance. Joe Root has | :08:12. | :08:28. | |
played magnificently. Magnificent Hundred from Joe Root in tough | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
circumstances. He is the dynamo of the team. Joe Root has got used to | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
being English cricket's great hope. Now he has responsibility. The way | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
he plays his cricket, the way he goes about his business will lend | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
itself to be a great captain. In January, he became a great father | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
for the first time. He will approach leading the same way as he | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
approaches parenting. It is something you have to learn on the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
job. Being a dad, you don't know what to do, you just have to go with | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
it. Baby Alfie is in white, this is a family who stopped them early. You | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
will find the root of Joe Root among fertile Yorkshire cricketing soil. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
On the outskirts of Sheffield is where it began. He still goes back | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
to Sheffield Collegiate, which produced Michael Vaughan. His | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
brother Billy and dad also played here and the name has appeared on | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
local scorecards further back. The family are everywhere, even upstairs | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
where Grandma Barbara plays bridge. How do those who know him best judge | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
his hand? I think he should be OK. You can only tell when they get in | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
the job. It is very much learning on the job, being a cricket captain. A | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
lot of responsibility being England cricket captain, hopefully it will | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
be successful. They don't get carried away. Despite his progress | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
from Yorkshire to world number one batsman, he has scored 11 test | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
centuries and plays all three forms of the game. But there are concerns, | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
he has only rarely led his county and might the captain compromise the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
run maker? They don't dwell on that here. It is a big job. But Joe is | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
that kind of person who will take it in his stride. He is more than | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
capable of dealing with the pressures of what captaincy brings. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
He inherits a team that lost 4-0 in India last year and faces South | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Africa in the summer before the Ashes tour. Who knows how he will | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
do. But we can guess his approach. In the words of his grandfather, mad | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
keen. Here are four men who could fight | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
Manny Pacquiao next. Jeff Horn and Terence | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Crawford from the US. Unusually, Pacquiao has created | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
a poll on his Twitter account He has nearly half of | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the 45,000 votes so far. You wouldn't be wrong to raise a | :11:02. | :11:19. | |
slightly cynical eyebrow. What is this about? John Watson is live. Is | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
this real, will it work? We're wondering. Of those for you mention, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Jeff Horn, the 29-year-old Australian thought he was due to be | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
fighting Manny Pacquiao. A date, presumably had been set for April. | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
In Brisbane, one of the biggest fights in boxing history in | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Australia. Not only has this fight caused confusion, but one of Manny | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Pacquiao's advisers was speaking in Abu Dhabi over the weekend. He had a | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
press conference and he said that Manny Pacquiao will be fighting in | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the UAE next. Not only has that press conference caused confusion, | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
but this tweet has as well. It appears Manny Pacquiao is destined | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
to fight someone, but we're not sure who it is going to be. Hadn't he | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
retired? This was the great debate. He fought a Floyd Mayweather in the | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
richest boxing bout in history. After that, he felt he had one more | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
fight left in him. He went on to fight Timothy Bradley. After that he | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
was supposed to retire. He came out of retirement to fight Jesse Vargas. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Now it seems Manny Pacquiao wants another shot. 67 professional fights | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
now, Manny Pacquiao. 59 of those winds. He clearly has his eyes on | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
another. Jeff Horn was thinking it would be him. Who knows? If you find | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
out, let me know, John. We wanted to show you this. It is a | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
unique celebration we spotted. This is Corby Town | :12:56. | :13:07. | |
defender Jason Lee, helping himself to a | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
fan's pint of cider. His team had just | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
scored to go 1-0 up. This is what Jason said | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
about the incident. "After the goal was | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
scored we all went off to celebrate with Ben, | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
but a fan had spilled his pint, and another fan had thrown his | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
pint up in the air." Everyone was celebrating, | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
everyone was drenched, but I didn't want the spilled pint | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
to go to waste so I just thought I'd Unlikely to see that any time soon | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
in the Premier League. We are going to turn to California. | :13:29. | :13:45. | |
150,000 people have been evacuated because of concerns over the safety | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
of America burns-macro tallest dam. We will update you on that. The BBC | :13:53. | :14:06. | |
has found shoppers are being short-changed because of promotions | :14:07. | :14:07. | |
that have expired. If we see a special offer | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
on the supermarket shelves, we expect to pay that price | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
at the till, but that doesn't The gingerbread, they're are on two | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
for ?3 but it hasn't come off, and the cat food, | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
the deal was three for ?8. The BBC's Inside Out programme | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
visited 50 Tesco stores across England and found out-of-date | :14:24. | :14:36. | |
special offers in 33 of them. At some stores, staff say it's | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
a recurring problem. And at another store, | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
a worker blames the error In most stores, workers removed | :14:48. | :15:02. | |
the label straight away, At this store, the cashier refunds | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
the difference but doesn't remove the label, so it's still on display | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
when we go back in the next The fourth cashier | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
finally removes it. There are obviously major | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
problems with their control of the special offers, | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
and it's the special offers that bring customers in, | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
make people reach for more and perhaps spend a little bit | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
more than they meant Throughout our investigation, | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
Tesco did refund the difference when The company wouldn't provide | :15:40. | :15:49. | |
anyone for interview but after reviewing the BBC's | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
evidence, said: to deliver clear and accurate price | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
labels for our customers so they can make informed decisions | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
on the products they buy. Following our investigation, | :16:03. | :16:12. | |
Britain's biggest supermarket has said it will be double checking | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
the accuracy of every This is Outside Source live | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
from the BBC newsroom. Donald Trump has met with the | :16:17. | :16:42. | |
Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. They discussed terrorism, | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
cooperation and refugees. If you are watching outside the UK, it is world | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
News America which will look ahead to Benjamin Netanyahu visiting | :16:55. | :17:08. | |
Washington on Wednesday. Next here in the UK, it is the news at ten. | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
More than 180,000 people in northern California have been told | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
It's because an overflow channel at the tallest dam in the US | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
The extraordinary pictures of the water. | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
The emergency spillway of the tall Oroville Dam | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
There was gridlock on roads heading out of the town. | :17:31. | :17:42. | |
These are some of the pictures that have been coming in. | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
The dam is in California, located on Lake Oroville. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Water levels in the reservoir have risen following heavy rain and snow | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Here you can see the main spillway which was close to collapse. | :17:56. | :18:10. | |
I spoke to Dave Lee earlier from San Francisco and asked him | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
if the all clear has been given, why are people not going home. | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
Two reasons. There is a lot of rain expected in the area later this | :18:25. | :18:34. | |
week. This weekend has been quite sunny camp led to the previous few | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
weeks, so if anything it is a bit of relief, weather-wise. More rain | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
expected later this week. But also the spillway, as you mentioned, is | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
in such a state of disrepair. Literally dropping in bags of rock | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
to fill this hole but crumbled to pieces when the heavy amounts of | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
water were gushing down the spillway to try to alleviate the pressure on | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
the dam. So any signed this may need to be used again in this way, could | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
be very serious. Although it seems like the main threat that both | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
emergency plans were looking like they could fail at one point on | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Sunday, now it seems that threat has subsided. They have managed to avoid | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
that. People are seeing it as a lucky escape, the weather held off | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
this weekend. Had they not, we could have been looking at a devastating | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
flood in that area. Evacuation order is still in place at the time being, | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
because of those fears it could not be over just yet. Can you give me | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
more details on what needs to be done to the dam and how long it | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
might take? They need to fix it, basically. There is two spillway is | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
to the left-hand side of the dam. The first is concrete and is | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
designed to be a big drainpipe that brings water down and disburses it | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
into the river below in a controlled way. That has been used in the past, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
but it has been crumbling because of the weight. They need to get it | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
fixed, have enough good weather so they can get in and solve this for | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
the long term. Thank you, Dave. The Syrian government | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
and its allies are accused today of "deliberate and systematic | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
destruction" in Aleppo. This is in this report | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
making the accusations. It comes from the Atlantic Council | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
which is a prominent think tank It's funded in a range of ways, | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
including contributions from NATO The report also says that | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
hospitals were bombed and it provides videos | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
to support its claims. She's been taking a look | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
at the report for us. The Syrian regime and its allies | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
were able to break the opposition's hold on a leper with the use of | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
siege, indiscriminate bombing in civilian areas, chemical weapons and | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
targeting infrastructure, including hospitals. Those claims have been | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
denied by President Assad and his allies, notably Russia. But this | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
report says it is a deliberate campaign of misinformation. It is | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
highly critical of the actions of the Syrian government in Aleppo, but | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
also the role of America. It said the US was left seriously damaged by | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
the fall of a leper because the US allied opposition was discredited | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
and as a consequence, the refugee crisis was worsened. It urges a new | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
strategy from President Trump and his Administration. What it calls | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
are bolder and wiser approach. This report says that doesn't mean | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
stepping up of direct military presence on the ground, but instead | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
the focus should be on protecting densely populated civilian areas and | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
also ensuring any ceasefire agreement is in force, so those who | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
violate it have sanctions imposed against them. The conclusion of this | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
report is the US must learn the lessons of what it calls be in | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
action in Aleppo, make sure nothing like this happens again. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
A draft law in the Philippines means children as young as nine could be | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
jailed for drug offences. The president supports the proposal. The | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Philippine president, he campaigned on a pledge. He said there was a | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
loophole by criminal gangs and using children to act as careers and they | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
could ferry drugs all over the country. And because they weren't | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
responsible because they were under the age of 15, he said he would | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
change the laws so children as young as 12 could be liable. His allies | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
have put forward a bill that would make children as young as nine | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
liable for prosecution for any crime, not just drug crimes. But | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
there is evidence these criminal gangs are using children? Not much, | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
actually. Child advocacy say only 1.7% of crimes are committed by | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
children. Usually they are petty crimes, petty theft and glue | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
sniffing. There is not a lot of evidence drug gangs are using | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
children as careers. Does the death penalty fit into this? It is part of | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
this criminal reform bill that has been put forward. It has already | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
passed through the Congress and it is now headed for the Senate. It | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
would reintroduce the death penalty in the Philippines and that would | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
also lower the age of criminal responsibility to the age of nine. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Because they are intertwined, it would mean a child aged nine he was | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
found guilty of a crime could face the death penalty, in theory. A lot | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
of people are outraged by this, but we cannot argue that President | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
Duterte isn't doing what he said he was going to do when he was elected? | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
He is often called the Trump of Asia. He campaigned on his extreme | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
pledges to crackdown on crime. However, the fact this issue has | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
gone through the Congress has now amplified this issue in the | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Philippines. A lot of people are talking about it. It has child | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
advocates from well-known organisations, who don't normally | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
speak up on such grand terms. I spoke to the chief representative | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
from Unicef and she has spoke in passionate terms about the dangers | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
of putting children to an adult prison system. If a nine-year-old is | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
arrested in the Philippines after this law is passed, even before they | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
faced trial, they could face months locked up in the same overcrowded | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
cells as adult prisoners. The BBC World Service is telling us | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
more than 7000 people have died during President Duterte's war on | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
drugs. That is it, thanks for watching. We are back tomorrow at | :24:56. | :24:56. | |
the same time. Goodbye. Winter is not over yet. But over the | :24:57. | :25:15. | |
next few days there is a mild prospect. By Monday, it felt like | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
spring across a part of the UK with some welcome sunshine. | :25:22. | :25:22. |
