:00:16. > :00:19.I am Ros Atkins welcome to Outside Source. It has been a dark day from

:00:20. > :00:24.athletics. The man who ran the sport for 16 years must have known about

:00:25. > :00:27.extensive corruption. This started with the President. The President

:00:28. > :00:34.was elected four times by the Congress. We will hear from Jakarta

:00:35. > :00:41.where a multifaceted attack has killed two people and two militants

:00:42. > :00:44.lost their lives. Islamic State has claimed responsibility. This is the

:00:45. > :00:48.Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister who has been speaking to us about

:00:49. > :00:57.deteriorating conditions with Iran and whether peace talks with Syria

:00:58. > :01:01.are realistic. Three men have been convicted of this, the biggest

:01:02. > :01:04.burglary in British history, ?14 million worth of jewellery and

:01:05. > :01:10.valuables were taken and those three men looked like they will be going

:01:11. > :01:12.to prison. If you want to get in touch with us, you can contact us on

:01:13. > :01:33.Twitter. We were told the second part of a

:01:34. > :01:38.report on corruption and doping in athletics was going to be bad and it

:01:39. > :01:43.has proved. The eye double AF has been accused of covering up doping

:01:44. > :01:48.in Russia. It is particularly scathing -- that was scathing about

:01:49. > :01:57.the former President of the IAAF. The report says he

:01:58. > :02:02.conspiracy and corruption that took place in the IAAF and it goes on to

:02:03. > :02:07.say, that it could not have been more unaware of the extent of doping

:02:08. > :02:13.in athletics. Lord Coe is the person who took over from him. He is in

:02:14. > :02:16.charge and he was on that council although the author of the report

:02:17. > :02:20.says it is so possible he would not have known about the full details

:02:21. > :02:26.and they have made a point of saying he is the best person to be leading

:02:27. > :02:30.the IAAF. Our sports editor has given us a report. All roads may

:02:31. > :02:35.lead to Rio this Olympics flagship sport finds itself

:02:36. > :02:40.in the grip of an unprecedented crisis. Lord Coe is under mounting

:02:41. > :02:46.pressure after bribery allegations levelled at his predecessor Lamine

:02:47. > :02:49.Diack and the banning of Russia for state-sponsored doping. He has grown

:02:50. > :02:52.used to used to scrutiny from the media and

:02:53. > :02:59.today he decided to sit amongst them here in the eye of the storm at as

:03:00. > :03:02.the problems were laid bare. A damning report concluding that

:03:03. > :03:13.corruption was in bed and ad went well beyond a rogue

:03:14. > :03:16.delay in all sorts of things. Acknowledge this, if you cannot

:03:17. > :03:28.acknowledge it you cannot have known about the scale of

:03:29. > :03:31.cheating. Is his position untenable? What is clear is that we did

:03:32. > :03:37.have enough oversight on the operational

:03:38. > :03:43.more, we did not know more, the changes that I am going to make will

:03:44. > :03:48.allow the current council to know more and my successors to know more.

:03:49. > :03:51.Lord Coe was biased President throughout the period under scrutiny

:03:52. > :03:55.and questions have been asked about what he knew about Lamine Diack now

:03:56. > :04:01.the subject of a French police investigation and yet today came

:04:02. > :04:06.some much-needed support. There is an enormous amount of reputational

:04:07. > :04:12.recovery that has to occur here and I cannot think of anyone better than

:04:13. > :04:16.Lord Coe to leave that. The first report found state-sponsored doping

:04:17. > :04:21.in Russia and the sequel said that Lamine Diack had suggested a need

:04:22. > :04:23.for a deal with the country's President to insure that Russian

:04:24. > :04:28.athletes accused of doping would not compete at the 20 13th World

:04:29. > :04:34.Championships. The issue we have to confront is what we need to put in

:04:35. > :04:39.place and some of that is already underway which means that we never

:04:40. > :04:43.return to this horror show again. Lord Coe will hope this is as bad as

:04:44. > :04:47.his organisation at an all-time low, his organisation

:04:48. > :04:54.the path to re-gaining trust will not be an easy one. That is our

:04:55. > :04:58.sports editor. You can follow him on Twitter for updates on this story.

:04:59. > :05:02.Let us find out about a very high-profile meeting that has been

:05:03. > :05:07.happening in London, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister is in town

:05:08. > :05:09.along with John Kerry. They have much to discuss, Syria and the

:05:10. > :05:15.possibility of peace reporter has been to meet the Saudi

:05:16. > :05:21.Arabian Foreign Minister and find out how likely it is that those

:05:22. > :05:26.talks will go ahead. We hope they will, the Syrian opposition was

:05:27. > :05:28.covered together in an unprecedented move, they agreed on a platform and

:05:29. > :05:34.a vision for Syria. They agreed on a vision for Syria. They agreed on

:05:35. > :05:38.what the new situation will look like and they picked their

:05:39. > :05:46.negotiating team. Now they are ready,, it is the receipt which it

:05:47. > :05:50.has been dragging its feet. We hope that the talks will begin on the

:05:51. > :05:55.25th so we can launch the process that will lead to the establishment

:05:56. > :06:00.of an interim council which will assume power from the Assad regime

:06:01. > :06:06.and move towards writing a new constitution. We hope and expect

:06:07. > :06:11.that during the interim period of this transition period, President

:06:12. > :06:16.Assad will exit because he has no role to play in the future of Syria.

:06:17. > :06:21.You will have to sit at the same table as Iran, are you going to be

:06:22. > :06:28.able to work together now you do not have

:06:29. > :06:34.that the talks will be between Syrians and Syrians. We will not be

:06:35. > :06:42.at the table or Iran. We are committed to the process in Syria

:06:43. > :06:47.and we are committed to the Vienna process, the Geneva principles and

:06:48. > :06:50.the principles in stride in the UN Security Council

:06:51. > :06:55.have had talks with John Kerry, he is possibly leaving London to go to

:06:56. > :07:02.an announcement that sanctions will be lifted against Iran, did you have

:07:03. > :07:06.concerns? We have concerns about the behaviour of Iran in general. It is

:07:07. > :07:08.a country that has to decide whether it is a revolution or a nation

:07:09. > :07:19.state. If it is a revolution it is a expansionary, difficult to deal

:07:20. > :07:26.with. If it is a nation state, they tend to be reasonable and rational

:07:27. > :07:29.and know their limits and they work on the basis of what is mutually

:07:30. > :07:34.beneficial. With Iran, we are not sure. We do not know what kind they

:07:35. > :07:39.are. We hope they will be a nation state but what we have seen in the

:07:40. > :07:45.last 35 years is a country that has used murder, a country that has used

:07:46. > :07:46.terrorism, a country that has used sectarianism, a country that has

:07:47. > :07:52.in the region in a very destructive interfered in the affairs

:07:53. > :07:56.in the region in a very destructive manner. That is what concerns us.

:07:57. > :07:59.Equally, they have concerns about you and your behaviour in the

:08:00. > :08:05.region, their decision -- Michael your decision to cut off my grow the

:08:06. > :08:10.back of ties. Iran puts to death more than 1000 people a year. That

:08:11. > :08:16.is their business. We do not know why this was done. In our case, it

:08:17. > :08:22.is transparent. Iran argues that he was a peaceable protest, he was a

:08:23. > :08:26.terrorist. He was as much a man of religion as Osama Bin Laden was. He

:08:27. > :08:31.was recruiting, infighting, equipping, you was plotting and he

:08:32. > :08:34.was executing terrorist attacks that led to the death of a number of

:08:35. > :08:38.security officials in Saudi Arabia and that is why he was sentenced to

:08:39. > :08:42.death. With all due respect to Iran, they have no business interfering

:08:43. > :08:46.with our judiciary and the last thing they can say is that Saudi

:08:47. > :08:51.Arabia is engaged in aggression. We have been on the receiving end of

:08:52. > :08:59.their aggression for decades. Plenty to consider their and our reporter

:09:00. > :09:02.joins us. Let us start with the fact that he is questioning whether Iran

:09:03. > :09:06.is a nation state, if you wanted one piece of evidence of how bad things

:09:07. > :09:10.are, there it is. He makes a are, there it is. He makes a

:09:11. > :09:19.criticism that others make. You have the moderate reformist side of the

:09:20. > :09:25.regime in Iran, with those who want to improve relations with the West

:09:26. > :09:30.and then you look at the Revolutionary guards, one who is

:09:31. > :09:37.active in Syria and Lebanon and they want to know which one is Iran. I

:09:38. > :09:41.would say why are you meddling in other countries. They said they are

:09:42. > :09:50.not, they were at to come. Syrians are our allies, we are not

:09:51. > :10:00.meddling, it is engagement from nation state to nation state. Unless

:10:01. > :10:04.these major powers in the region resolve their differences, a lot of

:10:05. > :10:08.other things will not be resolved. One of the things I'm still

:10:09. > :10:14.grappling with is why they decided to execute that cleric stop the

:10:15. > :10:18.Saudi Arabians would have known they did not like that, they would have

:10:19. > :10:25.known there would have been a reaction. In the aftermath of his

:10:26. > :10:29.execution, it came out that the Americans had warned the Saudi

:10:30. > :10:34.Arabians not to do it and we are still discussing why they did it.

:10:35. > :10:40.say they could not for internal say they could not for internal

:10:41. > :10:47.reasons execute the Sunni Muslims. The decision to execute the 47

:10:48. > :10:51.including that prominent cleric has been popular in Saudi Arabia and

:10:52. > :10:55.they had to think about public opinion in Saudi Arabia. They say

:10:56. > :11:01.they had a case, his family would say he was not armed, his supporters

:11:02. > :11:06.would say he was like a spiritual leader for Shia Muslims. That he

:11:07. > :11:10.wanted peaceful protest. They say he did not deserve to be lumped in with

:11:11. > :11:17.others who were known to be linked to Al-Qaeda and carried out attacks

:11:18. > :11:23.in Saudi Arabia. You heard his case. One last question about the Syrian

:11:24. > :11:26.talks, there will be viewers here who will be forgiven for watching

:11:27. > :11:31.not engage with the talks, I will not engage with

:11:32. > :11:38.not build up hope, I do not think they will deliver anything, does

:11:39. > :11:44.anyone have any hope? When you're country is a big deep dark black

:11:45. > :11:48.hole, even a pinprick of light gleams bright in the darkness. It

:11:49. > :11:54.will be progress if they sit down and made but I know from having been

:11:55. > :11:58.in Damascus in December, talking to opposition leaders, the gaps are

:11:59. > :12:04.huge. The opposition wants President Assad to go and he is saying he

:12:05. > :12:09.not going anywhere. They have not bridged that gap. Thank you. Do

:12:10. > :12:14.follow her on Twitter, she will have her analysis on these stories. Let

:12:15. > :12:18.us talk about oil, it has rebranded slightly after the cost of the

:12:19. > :12:23.low earlier in the week. We will be low earlier in the week. We will be

:12:24. > :12:30.looking at why this is happening and why it affects all of us. Here in

:12:31. > :12:35.the UK, the number of armed police officers in London is to rise by

:12:36. > :12:39.more than a quarter. The Metropolitan Police currently has

:12:40. > :12:43.2200 trained marksmen and that is set to rise by 600. The force

:12:44. > :12:49.commissioners said that the numbers were increased by a third link Paris

:12:50. > :12:53.terror attacks but that additional officers were needed. Today what I

:12:54. > :12:58.am announcing is that in the coming weeks and months we will double the

:12:59. > :13:03.number of armed response vehicles. We are not talking about numbers.

:13:04. > :13:06.The first wave, these are officers who patrol routinely in London, they

:13:07. > :13:11.are always armed and they will be the first response to any attack or

:13:12. > :13:14.normal criminal incident involving a firearm. That will be a very

:13:15. > :13:25.significant change. The second change which is as significant is

:13:26. > :13:27.with all have a second wave of officers released from other posts

:13:28. > :13:29.with better training and they will take together within an hour we will

:13:30. > :13:41.have three to 400 officers available to deal with an attack. Welcome. Our

:13:42. > :13:46.lead story is that a report into corruption and doping in world

:13:47. > :13:50.athletics says that this man, the former chief Lamine Diack organised

:13:51. > :13:57.corruption within the organisation. Let us bring you some of the main

:13:58. > :14:04.stories. First of all, a second aid convoy has entered a town in Syria

:14:05. > :14:09.which was held by rebels. It has been blockaded for months and some

:14:10. > :14:16.residents have starved. This aid is getting in banks to a deal to allow

:14:17. > :14:24.aid into two other towns. BBC Africa is reporting that the Ebola epidemic

:14:25. > :14:30.is over. Libya area is free from the virus. There are parts that David

:14:31. > :14:35.Bowie's body has been privately Bowie's

:14:36. > :14:39.cremated in New York. That is in line with his wishes, no family and

:14:40. > :14:44.friends were present. His family put out a statement saying it is

:14:45. > :14:51.planning a private ceremony. More details through our news app. I want

:14:52. > :14:56.to bring you up-to-date with a series of attacks in Jakarta. Seven

:14:57. > :15:01.people have died, five of them were attackers. Islamic State has claimed

:15:02. > :15:08.responsible to, this began when a number of bombs went off in the

:15:09. > :15:12.morning, 10:40am local time. At one intersection in the business

:15:13. > :15:17.district of the city. We have marked it here, a Starbucks and a shopping

:15:18. > :15:20.centre. We have marked those because that is very close to where the

:15:21. > :15:33.attacks took place. Here is one video. Reports say there were at

:15:34. > :15:38.least six explosions as well as a suicide bomb attack on police. The

:15:39. > :15:44.attackers also had guns and they kept firing at police and bystanders

:15:45. > :15:45.for several hours. Police have now declared the situation under control

:15:46. > :15:51.and this is what the President is saying. The people do not need to be

:15:52. > :15:56.afraid and should not be defeated by these terrorist acts. He went on to

:15:57. > :16:01.say I hope people will remain calm because it is all controllable. Let

:16:02. > :16:08.us find out more about who might be responsible. Here is our reporter in

:16:09. > :16:19.Jakarta. We do know the names of the five attackers we know there are

:16:20. > :16:24.about their background. We do not early 40s but we do not know

:16:25. > :16:26.know what their links are to Islamic State or whether they were work --

:16:27. > :16:30.one of the many Indonesians fighting with Islamic State. Quite a lot of

:16:31. > :16:35.questions to be answered but the authorities even before Islamic

:16:36. > :16:38.State formally accepted responsibility, the authorities

:16:39. > :16:45.determined they were behind it. Stay with us, before we talk again, I

:16:46. > :16:48.want to play a BBC report on a history of radical Islam in

:16:49. > :16:56.let us look at this. The latest let us look at this.

:16:57. > :17:00.attacks come after six years of relative calm and even though the

:17:01. > :17:06.problem of militancy has not truly gone away. One of the most active

:17:07. > :17:09.groups in recent times has been a group which has its roots in the

:17:10. > :17:14.anti-colonial struggle against the Dutch. It was behind the most

:17:15. > :17:22.well-known attack in Bali which killed over 200 people including 88

:17:23. > :17:26.Australians. Since then, it has targeted high-profile locations such

:17:27. > :17:32.as embassies and hotels, attacks aimed at foreigners but ended up

:17:33. > :17:37.mainly killing Indonesians. A splinter group is thought to be

:17:38. > :17:42.responsible for the 2009 Jakarta hotel bombings that killed seven

:17:43. > :17:45.people. Since then attacks have lessened, some attributed this to

:17:46. > :17:50.increased counterterror measures by the government which has received

:17:51. > :17:55.funding from Australia and the US. Indonesia has also been criticised

:17:56. > :18:01.allowing its presence to become incubators for militancy. In August

:18:02. > :18:06.2014, the former spiritual head of JI released a message pledging

:18:07. > :18:09.allegiance to Islamic State. He later retracted the pledge. She is

:18:10. > :18:15.still with us and it is terrible that two people have lost their

:18:16. > :18:18.lives but I am guessing the authorities are relieved they

:18:19. > :18:25.managed keep the death toll that low. This attack was relatively

:18:26. > :18:29.small if you look at the number people injured, 23, and if you look

:18:30. > :18:33.at the number of people dead, two civilians and the other five who

:18:34. > :18:37.were killed when the attackers. Something has shifted here in the

:18:38. > :18:42.Indonesian capital, this is the first major terror attack since

:18:43. > :18:48.2009, two luxury hotels were targeted. In the intervening period,

:18:49. > :18:52.authorities have been successful at pumping down on home growing

:18:53. > :18:56.terrorist groups, and number of leaders have been killed and others

:18:57. > :18:58.have been arrested. Any attacks in recent years have been local and

:18:59. > :19:04.different about today is where I am focused on the police. What is

:19:05. > :19:08.standing and the police box that was attacked is a few metres behind me,

:19:09. > :19:13.you can see the condolence flowers, this is a major in their affair in

:19:14. > :19:17.Jakarta, this is the place you would make your point. Starbucks which is

:19:18. > :19:30.on the other side of the intersection,

:19:31. > :19:33.and major symbol of western commercialisation, this was done

:19:34. > :19:35.with a purpose, not particularly well organised, it was relatively

:19:36. > :19:38.small and over quickly but there is a sense that something has shifted.

:19:39. > :19:43.For a long time, there have been warnings that it is a case of if, --

:19:44. > :19:52.when not if. Further coverage on the website. Here is the latest

:19:53. > :19:56.business. The brand -- price of Brent crude oil. It had a respite

:19:57. > :20:01.today, after falling below $30 a barrel. This has been an awful 12

:20:02. > :20:07.months, all prices have not been this low for 12 years. This

:20:08. > :20:13.illustrates what is happening. This is the beginning of 2014, above $100

:20:14. > :20:18.a barrel and the beginning of 2016 and we are down at the kind of

:20:19. > :20:23.levels I have been describing. We have teamed up with BBC world

:20:24. > :20:28.service to look at what these prices mean for the biggest oil-producing

:20:29. > :20:31.countries. Russia has based its budget on the price of $50 per

:20:32. > :20:37.barrel and now the minister has said that the country

:20:38. > :20:41.will have to adjust its spending. Petrol prices in the country keep

:20:42. > :20:49.going up as oil companies try to compensate their losses. Saudi

:20:50. > :20:53.Arabia needs around $100 a barrel to balance budgets but because the

:20:54. > :20:57.prices lower, the government is cutting public spending. This

:20:58. > :21:01.includes infrastructure projects and public sector salaries but for now

:21:02. > :21:08.it is more worried about market share will stop then as well's

:21:09. > :21:16.budget for 2016 has been calculated on the basis of $40 per barrel of

:21:17. > :21:23.expected in 2015 and much lower than expected in 2015 and much lower than

:21:24. > :21:26.the $102 it once reached. As a result of this, the government is

:21:27. > :21:31.facing the worst economic crisis in modern history. It is refusing to

:21:32. > :21:40.take measures like increasing the price of fuel as this can have huge

:21:41. > :21:49.social consequences. I want to bring in my guest. They could deal with

:21:50. > :21:53.this by reducing supply. Why do they not do this? Absolutely. That is

:21:54. > :21:57.exactly what Opec has done in the past. The situation we have

:21:58. > :22:02.ourselves in is that Saudi Arabia through Opec does not want to cut

:22:03. > :22:04.output because they are trying to protect their market share. Other

:22:05. > :22:09.Opec members would like to do that Opec members would like to do that

:22:10. > :22:13.but there has not been an agreement. Really what Saudi Arabia wants to do

:22:14. > :22:19.is get the US shale producers out of the market, for them hydraulic

:22:20. > :22:24.fracking is a lot more expensive than simply pumping oil from Wales

:22:25. > :22:30.and Saudi Arabia has been betting it can push out US producers if they

:22:31. > :22:34.can hold on for a long enough. Saudi Arabia's revenues are about 70%

:22:35. > :22:41.dependent on oil and it is a strategy we are seeing them stick to

:22:42. > :22:44.and other Opec members have been fighting back against this. They

:22:45. > :22:48.would like to see the output cut. Given the scale of fracking is it

:22:49. > :22:54.realistic to undermine an entire industry miss-macro that is the

:22:55. > :22:59.problem. You will have analysts talking about how much this will
