Welcome back to Outside Source. The Iraqi army is moving into the centre | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
of the city of Ramadi. It is currently held by so-called Islamic | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
State. The operation is part of a wider trend, with the militants | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
losing ground this year. A big moment for Elon Musk, the | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
millionaire tech entrepreneur. His Spacex company has landed a launched | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
rocket back on Earth, meaning it can be reused, which could save a lot of | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
money. We are also going to talk about the situation in Afghanistan. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
There is still heavy fighting in and around the town of Sangin in Helmand | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
and debt deal is a danger now that the whole area could fall to the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Taliban. Plus we have all the sports news, including a special report on | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
something I don't think Leicester fans can believe, they are top of | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
the English Premier League this Christmas. If a | :01:02. | :01:16. | |
To If a update you on the situation in Afghanistan's Helmand province. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
We talked about this yesterday - it's in danger of falling | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Today we've got conflicting reports about who controls | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Much of the fighting has been around the city of Sangin - | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
if the Taliban controls it, it can cut off cut a supply line | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
for Afghan forces from the city of Lashkar Gah. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
It will in turn boost the Taliban's mobility - | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
including near Kandahar which is the centre of much | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Helmand was the focus of the British military presence in Afghanistan | :01:45. | :01:58. | |
I spoke to Jonathan Marcus and Zia Shahreyar for the latest | :01:59. | :02:10. | |
will know that in Helmand from over 900 coalition service men and women | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
died. Over 100 of those were British. Just put that in context | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
over the last year, 2000 Afghan security forces had been killed in | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
the province. and Zia Shahreyar for | :02:25. | :02:25. | |
the latest on the situation. Two of my colleagues. Here they both | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
are on the latest on the situation. Our colleagues spoke to an army | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
commander, and he was still saying they have not received any sort of | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
support from the government, any ammunition or food that they needed. | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
This is one that the Afghan Defence Ministry announced today they are | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
throwing down food and ammunition to the besieged troops, around 200 | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
Afghan soldiers are besieged in an army base in. People are talking | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
that terrible violence going on, Caliban have committed summary | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
executions, one eyewitness was talking about three officials being | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
bought to a square inside Sanghin and have been executed in public. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
This is pretty much what is going on, and the data we have. -- Sangin. | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
I was there to ask you about this, one of the lead stories is that the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
British are offering help but relatively small-scale help. Would | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
that be fair? I think that is fair. There are no British combat troops | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
there. Essentially what you have is a Nato force in the country to | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
train, advise and assist the Afghan forces but I think this latest round | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
of force -- fighting, the upsurge by the Caliban, raises questions about | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
the scale and scope of that Nato mission. It is clear there was not a | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
sufficient support for Afghan forces in Helmand province for example. | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Certainly it looks as though the plan originally was to do the | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
training in a number of regional centres and then focusing on Kabul. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
It looks like we will have to stay out in the provinces for the next | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
year as well but they are just not sufficient resources available to do | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
the level and scale of training required. We could argue Nato | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
probably should have offered longer term support of the Afghan security | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
forces. I guess the other argument is this whole approach in reaching | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
back to 2001 was all is going to be a stretch, it was was good to be | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
impossible to push the Caliban completely out of Afghanistan. Look, | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
the moment came initially when they defeated roundly the Caliban. -- the | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
Taliban. Nato has made a commitment to Afghanistan, not probably of the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
scale required but it may be that the combat operation was ended | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
quickly. You have to remember that the public and the countries that | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
have put in that forces, they tire of these operations pretty quickly. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
There are other things going on about, commitments to Syria, | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
concerns now about what might be needed in Libya. There is neither | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
the appetite now neither the resources to be able to do all of | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
these crises. Fundamentally the Afghans have problems themselves. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Serious logistical problems, terrible problems of corruption, the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
incapacity is in the governance system in Afghanistan and no amount | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
of help from outside can really make up perverse sort of local problems. | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
Were you alluding to the challenges faced with Islamic State, perhaps we | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
don't understand the calibre and dewy Taliban as much. What is its | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
goal of at once? They have been divided. It doesn't have any impact | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
on their military capacity. They have shown a very high capacity | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
infighting. They have been saying they will take over Afghanistan | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
back. They were collapsed by the invasion of the US troops, they were | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
in power, they took 95% control of Afghanistan. They will take it back, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
some Pakistani officials have been saying they will take it back as | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
soon as the international troops leave. The other security forces | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
have been fighting a very heavy war last year -- since last year. They | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
have their logistic problems, as John mentioned. This is a bloody war | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
going on, and we will be watching what will be the end. Ruud it is | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
interesting, the divisions of the Taliban have probably Inc increased | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
the differences. You also have the emergence of Islamic State, | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
so-called, putting down some roots in Afghanistan, in some places, | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
acting the Taliban. That too gives an added impetus. A very mixed | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
picture but very clearly several Afghan provinces, the #BBCOS dewy | :07:47. | :07:58. | |
One of the advantages of being here in the BBC newsroom is we can very | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
quickly access the journalists working on the most important | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
stories in the world at any time. In a few minutes time, an important | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
story coming up in outside source port. One of the most senior figures | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
in world figures has stepped down from his job -- sport, temporarily, | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
amid an investigation to delay the naming of Russian drug cheats. | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
A remembrance service has been held in Glasgow, | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
to mark the first anniversary of the bin lorry crash in the city, | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
17 others were injured when the vehicle careered out | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
of control in the city centre, after the driver, Harry Clarke, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
The memorial, held at Glasgow cathedral, included a two-minute | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
silence in memory of those killed and hurt in the crash. | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon reports. | :08:49. | :09:00. | |
A year ago, Glasgow was touched by tragedy. | :09:01. | :09:01. | |
The city left grieving and in shock as Christmas approached. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
One year on, still fragile, many hundreds came together | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
This ecumenical service allows the opportunity for us | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
all in our great city to stand in solidarity with one another | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
and express our prayerful support for all those affected | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Amongst the congregation, people and politicians | :09:21. | :09:40. | |
of those left injured, some of those who died. | :09:41. | :09:56. | |
The crash happened in a busy street in the centre of Glasgow. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
to run to get out of the way as the bin lorry careered out | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Catriona Stewart had been in the area with a friend. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
It is still really vivid, I cannot believe one | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
Strangers tending to the injured where they lay, ordinary people | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
When I ran onto the street three women lying along the road | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
I stayed with a young girl who was quite badly injured, | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
and my main concern was making sure that she did not see | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Because the scene was very graphic and upsetting. | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
For each of those who died, today, a single candle lit in their memory. | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
They will be remembered in this city which today reflected on their loss. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Welcome back to Outside Source, our lead story is that in Iraq, | :10:50. | :11:17. | |
government forces are advancing into the centre of Ramadi, which is held | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
by so-called Islamic State. After Outside Source, if you're watching | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
outside the UK, world News America next. Millions around the world are | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
travelling by plane for the holiday season and the programme look at the | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
role of the airport towers that help them get to where they going. And on | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
the News at ten, we are looking at statistics released today that show | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
over 1 million migrants entered Europe this year. Particularly | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
focusing on the challenges these people may pose to the UK. As I was | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
mentioning, one of the most senior figures | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
in world athletics has temporarily stepped down from his job ahead | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
of an investigation into a plan to delay the naming | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
of Russian drug cheats. It comes after the BBC obtained | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
an email from Nick Davies - the deputy general | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
secretary of the IAAF - In it, he suggests waiting | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
until after the 2013 World Championships in Moscow | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
before naming them. Our Sports Editor, Dan Roan's report | :12:17. | :12:17. | |
contains flash photography. In the e-mail, labelled very secret, | :12:18. | :12:48. | |
Nick Davies wrote that he needed to understand exactly what Russian | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
skeletons were still in the cupboard regarding doping and that | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
the governing body needed to be smart about the unveiling | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
of guilty athletes. writing the former marketing | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
consultant, the son of the former president, Davies said he needed to | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
understand exactly what Russian skeletons we have still in the | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
cupboard regarding doping. TVs also suggested using the | :13:09. | :13:29. | |
political influence of Sebastian Coe -- Davies suggested, then vice | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
president, for him unofficial PR campaign to stop what he called | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
planned attacks on Russia by the British media. It is a damning blow | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
to the credibility of the organisation and that is shocking, | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
because what the IAAF should have been doing a that if we know people | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
are cheating we will get them and expose them come what may, and make | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
sure they don't compete. That is our prime job, not worrying about the PR | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
strategy the try to make sure those stories don't come out of the first | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
place. Davies denies any wrongdoing but the night he has to decide. | :13:59. | :14:20. | |
Sebastien Coates in the most powerful figure in athletics earlier | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
this year, replacing Lamine Diack, the former IAAF president now facing | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
allegations he took bribes to cover-up doping. In October, Russia | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
was banned from international, edition for state-sponsored | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
cheating, and now this. The contents of this e-mail are highly | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
embarrassing for the IAAF, and with the governing body desperate to move | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
forward and regain trust after a year of damaging allegations of both | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
doping and corruption, it couldn't have come at a worse time. Athletics | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
should have much to look forward to with the Rio Games rise in. Instead, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
it is the shadow cast by Russia that hangs over the sport. In the last | :15:03. | :15:18. | |
couple of days we have had huge football manager stories, Jose | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
guarded -- Jose Mourinho being sacked and Pep Guardiola saying he | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
would be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season. Managerial | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
merry-go-round continues to spin and spin and spin. Even today we have | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
had fresh rumblings. Just down the road from the BBC Sport Centre at | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Old Trafford because Louis van Gaal could be on his way out of | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Manchester United. They have lost their last three games and are out | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
of the Champions League at the group stages. Critics will say they lacked | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
direction, but when Van Gaal came in he spoke of this philosophy but it | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
seems as though fans are finding it difficult to see Van Gaal's | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
long-term plan. When you consider that Jose Mourinho, who is also on | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
the loose at the moment, recently sacked by Chelsea, could he be | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
linked with the job? It may be a bit soon for Mourinho to move from | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
Chelsea to Man Utd, considering the two are such big rivals. There is | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
also then Pep Guardiola on the move. We know he is leaving Bayern Munich | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
at the end of the season, and his CV released exploits out. He is one of | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
the most successful men in club football with the amount of trophies | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
he has won at Barcelona and that Bayern Munich, but he is also | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
heavily linked with Manuel Pellegrini's job at Manchester City. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
One of the most potent factors in that move is that Guardiola knows | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
members of city's hierarchy from his days at Barcelona when he had such a | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
successful time. But as you say, Chelsea also need a new long-term | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
manager. Guus Hiddink is in place at the moment but as far as we know | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
that is only until the end of the season. So with Guardiola's | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
outstanding reputation, it looks like he could have the pick of the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
jobs in Manchester in -- or in London. We will hear from Hiddink | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
tomorrow in his press conference. I hope those of you watching will be | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
taking notes, it is getting complicated in the English Premier | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
League but one place where they will not be a change of manager is | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Leicester. They are sitting top of the English Premier League. They | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
will be there on Christmas Day. Five of the last six clubs who have done | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
that have gone on to win it. If Leicester were to do it, it would be | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
the biggest shock in the history of the Premier League. Here is Joe | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Wilson on the team at the top of the tree. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
In the Leicester City Group two, just a photo opportunity for | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
charity. At the end of the season, they believe in Mahrez and Bardy, no | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
one has scored more than them this season. In Europe's largest outdoor | :17:49. | :17:58. | |
covered market, suddenly they are talking about England's best | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
football team. Everybody is asking, we have a lot of banter, a a lot of | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
stick from other fans and now we are giving them back. COMMENTATOR: He | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
runs up, once again, in the opposite direction! This has been a long time | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
going, it is fantastic. Incomes the genial Italian giving everyone calm. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Ranieri, the boss. I think you are bit like father Christmas actually, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Santa Claus? I hope I can be father Christmas! You make people believe | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
that magic can happen in Leicester. You must know that? I am very happy | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
that they are happy, these Christmas days. We don't have the high quality | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
like City, Arsenal, but we fight together, every ball for us is the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
last ball. This is where the Leicester players emerge from their | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
dressing room and image are leaving see the kind of impression they are | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
trying to leave on opponents. Look at Jamie Vardy here, fearless is a | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
word they often use. Bottom of the Premier League last Christmas, | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
topless, Leicester are dismantling the old order but now there is a new | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
pressure for the foxes. When you are top this time of year, you are | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
expected to stay there. Pretty impressive Christmas tree they have | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
got at Leicester City. But luck to them. Our last story on today's | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
Outside Source concerns the rules around getting visas into the US. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
This is an update, telling us that jewel citizens from Iraq, Iran, | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
Syria and Sudan are protecting against these new restrictions. It | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
will make life harder for millions of people to get into the States, in | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
part a response to Islamist terrorism that will affect people | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
from 38 countries. Of them, 23 are inside the European Union. Their | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
ambassadors have written an editorial on the DC blog, the Hill. | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
It says a blanket restriction would most likely affect only legitimate | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
travel by business people, journalists, the humanity and -- | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
humanitarian workers. Essentially they are not happy. Let's go live to | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
Washington. Can you give us more details about what is exactly | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
proposed in these restrictions? Indeed travel to the US could get | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
tedious for a group of people, if #dual is from Iraq, Iran and Syria | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
coming to the US -- dual Nationals coming would have to get visas in | :20:50. | :21:02. | |
addition to ESTA. It means they would have to get the visas as well | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
as ESTAs, which means they would have to go into the embassy and do | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
an interview and a whole process and they are quite upset about this, | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
because they feel like they already have issues with their families, and | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
therefore this is upsetting. I have seen some reports saying this is a | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
direct response to Paris, or to San Bernardino, but has this been in the | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
pop -- pipeline much longer than that? This is largely a reaction to | :21:37. | :21:50. | |
Paris and San Bernardino did indeed. On Capitol Hill, the response was | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
what do we do to make our borders more safe? I have heard | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
congressional aides tell me they feel like if terrorists were to come | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
into the States, they are more likely to have come through Europe. | :22:03. | :22:15. | |
There is a sense on the hill dual National 's are more likely to have | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
