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

It is an hour of international news live here in the BBC newsroom. We

can access all the latest information coming into us. We can

start in Denmark. Its parliament has just approved

new measures which allow the confiscation of valuables

from asylum seekers to pay Brazil is going to deploy over

200,000 soldiers in the fight Apple's latest sales figures

are out in a few hours. Investors are worried and it's

to do with the iPhone. Young people are thought to be

spending more time online than watching television. That is

according to new research the BBC has been looking at. We will get

into that in more detail. On yesterday's programme I played to

the US Treasury accusing Vladimir Putin of beer and corrupt.

And the Kremlin has responded to the US treasury's claim -

in a BBC documentary - that Vladimir Putin is corrupt.

The Danish parliament has passed a new law that will allow them

to confiscate valuables from asylum seekers.

If their value comes to over 10,000 kroner, just over ?1000, then those

valuables can be confiscated. Let's begin by playing you this report

which is just coming from Copenhagen. Denmark's door is still

open. But only just. Today, Danish MPs approved a plan to

deter others. We are simply asking that advertise

the asylum seekers if they come within a means to pay for themselves

than following the same rules as for Danish citizens, wishing to be an

unemployment benefits, if you can pay for yourself then you should pay

for your supper for the Danish welfare system doesn't.

The Danish authorities can now confiscate money and valuables worth

more than ?1000 from asylum seekers but not wedding rings or eight is of

sentimental value and if a refugee is granted asylum he or she must

wait three years before other family members can try to join them.

They are's wife and two of his children are still in Syria.

This isn't fair, he tells us. This is difficult. They don't want to

help people. They just want to help the Government.

Europe's leaders struggle for solutions, the Danish Daugherty say

they are overwhelmed. The student volunteers teach Danish to refugees.

I'm a bit scared actually about the rhetoric used because I think it

tends to overlook the fact that these people are in fact human

beings. The UN has warned the war's law

could fuel xenophobia. Other countries have the power to seize

assets. In practice it rarely happens. No one is sure how or it

will work it. For the Danish Government today was

all about sending a clear signal to would-be asylum seekers. But at the

same time they have sent a strong message to Brussels as well. When it

comes to the refugee crisis, Denmark, like a growing number of

other EU member states, longer trusts Europe to protect its

national interests. Thanks for your time. This is the

new Government, so is this new policy popular?

Well, I would not college popular at all. There was a fierce debate as

Parliament today. And we have had a few weeks of a lot of debate on

this. But it was supported in Government. The three biggest

parties did and vote yes. So they also acknowledge that it has been

hard and it has not been easy for the politicians about this through.

Some of your European partners may have reservations about these

measures. Do you think your Government is concerned about acting

as one in Europe? I do think that is the policy. Our

Foreign Minister did say today after the vote that he was sad because of

the image that's Denmark has, and the attention Denmark has gotten

because of this page. But I do think the Government still supports a

corporate way to do with this issue. I'm interested that you mentioned

image because I was doing a Facebook live stream earlier got thousands of

comments and lots of people were comparing these measures with

measures that happened and knots in Germany. I'm not saying that that

comparison is correct, but this would be doing Denmark's repetition

abroad any favours will it? -- Nazi Germany. It won't that has

been big concern amongst these people as well. We tend to see

ourselves as someone who likes to deal with issues within Europe and

be supportive of people in need so a lot of people are concerned about

how people are going to look at Denmark now.

A good question about the practicalities now that this law has

been passed. When an asylum seeker arrives what actually happens? Who

is the pattern research is their pockets and searches through their

backs? That is the police. This bill means

that the police are now allowed to search asylum seekers for valuables

and they can confiscate valuables that are worth more than ?1000.

Except as we were told, things of sentimental value. Whether it is

going to happen, that's a different story. And a lot of the critics of

this bill say it is more symbolic bill that aims to make asylum

seekers choose to go to a different country rather than Denmark to seek

asylum. That it is mostly to scare people away.

Thank you for your help. We appreciated. Live from Copenhagen

from DDR news. Let's stay with the story because

the Danes have taken action today. Several other European Union states

have also acted. They're going to extend temporary border controls. In

some cases for as long as two years. This is going to have huge

ramifications for the deal that allows freedom of movement between a

long list of European countries. Not the UK, by the way. If we look at

one of the most common routes into Europe from migrants to take, coming

from Turkey and into greased and further north, the consequence of

this route has been that Hungary has fenced off its borders. Other

countries have imposed increased border controls at one time or

another. This is definitely not the plan. Europe was personally fighting

a unified approach to this crisis. I been talking to someone in Brussels

but why that is proving so elusive. European countries have the right to

formulate these sorts of policies themselves but exactly what you say

about countries taking unilateral action is what is worrying people

here at the European Commission. Because that is what they saying

they absolutely do not want to see because they believe that that will

make finding a solution to the whole refugee, migrant crisis much much

harder. Now, this particular step, I think, is interesting because it

follows in a sort of pattern as you indicate, with countries toughening

up but also, I think, importantly, it is not just what they're doing

internally but trying to send atop a message to try deter people who

might be willing to might be setting out on his journeys to reach

European destinations. So, in this instance, Denmark. We've also seen

Austria saying it wants a cap on the number of refugees it is prepared to

take it will institute that this year. One of those are sending a

message down the line to try to say to people, don't set out in his

journeys on the first place. We've seen some temporary border

controls extended today. A tweet from the Independent assaying the

agreement mother free movement Sony Europe is on the brink of collapse

because of these border controls. Is that overstating it?

I think that is a little strong. What has happened today is that the

countries that have already had some temporary controls in place have

those lasting until May. They are in place until six months is up and

they've asked the European Commission here to do the

preparatory work to extend those controls for another up to 18

months. Now, that will only happen if and when the commission carries

out, and it is carrying out, and assessment of what is happening at

the external borders with Greece, is that situation presenting a threat

to public order, to public policy within the EU? Then it could

recommend an extension but remember these measures that RM plays are

partial. There are checks and migrants and spot checks on some the

book Crossing Borders and they are a little top in some places than

others but these are only six out of more than 20 you.

We started getting reports of an active shooter.

An "active shooter" was reported at a San Diego military hospital

on Tuesday, the facility said on its

Helicopters were rushed to the scene, police as well as you would

expect. It was all surrounding one reasonably sized naval medical

Centre wish can see there. Butler shuts down in response to specific

reports that three shots had been heard in the building. We also got

this Facebook post from the hospital saying, an active shooter just been

reported and has advised everyone inside the building run, hide fight.

The good news is it doesn't look like anything actually happen. Our

LA correspondence is no response of injuries are evidence of gunfire

after shots were heard at a US Naval hospital. That is good news. Run's

president is in Europe. He has got a long shopping list for his newly

opened economy. We're going to find out exactly what the highest

priorities are. He's the lives at the moment but he is going to be

going to France as well. We are running through his itinerary. The

British paedophile who filmed in self abusing young girls in the

Philippines has been jailed for 19 and a half years. Trevor Monk of

Kent, admitted late 18 charges including sexual assault of a child

under 13. The former head of the police's child text notation and

protection Centre says children are safe at night.

I, amongst others, often criticised pleasing for its lack of confidence

at times but here is a fabulous piece of work involving local police

forces. Two of the child election team called on a suspect in 2012,

they began to pool a digital thread that led the whole way of the

Philippines. The National Crime Agency and their international

partners have helped make children safer tonight because lots of

predators when they watch this realise it doesn't matter how many

years it takes, there are people out there who will track you down, find

you and hold you to account. We live in the BBC newsroom. Our

lead story is that Denmark has just approved new measures which will

confiscate valuables from asylum seekers to pay for their upkeep.

That's look at some other main stories from BBC World Service. We

will begin with Malaysia's Prime Minister being cleared of

corruption. The Attorney General's Office ruled that a payment of

nearly $700 million to his bank account was a personal donation from

the Saudi royal family. BBC Arabic has the details on that story. A

run's president has met the Pope at the Vatican and was asked to work

with other countries to promote peace in the Middle East. There

remind many believe that Iran binds militant groups. These pictures from

the BBC news app that shows huge waves crashing into the coast of

Chile. That is a police vehicle being tipped over. The present site

was rescued and was OK. This was caused by the weather phenomenon. --

the person inside was rescued. We're going to talk about a number

of business stories now. Beginning with uranium President's tour of

Europe this week. -- the Iranians president. In the museum are a

number of statues and some of them are renewed. They had a bit of an

issue on what to do with that. This was the solution that they came up

with. Now you see them, now you don't. You would never guess what is

behind those boxes. That was to avoid offending the Iranian

president. Italy chose not to serve wine at the official meals. He is

going to France next and the French have refused to do this. This trip

is not about seeing museums or drinking wine, it is about huge

business deals. He was the lowdown. -- here is the lowdown.

I'm pretty sure the music on that report is that track, What Is Love?

I wanted to reclaim whether slashed up a couple of minutes ago. Apple

has not released its quarterly figures and the reason we are so

interested in this, I mean we're always interested in Apple because

of its scale and importance, investors are showing signs of being

worried not because they don't think profits will be announced but paper

looking at longer-term projections for iPhone sales and they are

concerned. We will go live as soon as these figures come out and get a

full analysis of it. In the meantime, another important story

from the states. It concerns Flint in Michigan and the fact that the

city's water has become contaminated with lead. People are drinking

portal quarter, even a state emergency was declared. The core

problem was that old pipes have corroded after a water supply was

changed couple of years ago. This gives you an idea of quite how

serious the situation is. Here is Walmart announcing... Other big

corporations, are old teaming up to deliver bottled water to students in

Flint. Let's bring in Michelle to talk about this. When recovered as a

couple of weeks back was Michelle's report in Flint that we played.

Bottled water, it is going to help. It is good PR for these companies as

well but doesn't fix the core problem.

You're talking about a huge infrastructure problem. Once that

water got into the system, you saw the lead corroded pipe. Even though

Flint has now taken steps to change back to a less corrosive water

source, the pipes are still damaged and the city and emergency workers

are all now frantically trying to figure out how badly those pipes

were damaged. When we spoke to Flint's measure was telling us we

don't know at this point how many pipes are damaged, what level of

damage, how long it would take to repair those, whether they need to

be replaced completely or just to time those pipes will be

sufficiently coated and will become save the game. Those were the sorts

of challenges they are grappling with. In the meantime, what do

residents do? The family we were talking to in that report you

mentioned were obviously already drinking bottled water but that

children were still bathing in the lead contaminated water because

there was only so much she could do with taking water from bottles. This

is where companies like Walmart, Coke, Pepsi, net food but Nestle,

they have said they're going to give up to six lab million bottles to

local schools to try and help ease the problem. It is simple things.

When the girders of remarkable restaurant, anywhere you go, you

have to do with bottled water. I get a story like this becomes

politicised and we got campaigners like Michael Moore suggesting there

are reasons this has happened in Flint. What are their claims? Why do

they believe the city suffered what others may not have done?

From the moment the water source was switched about a year and a half

ago, were talking April 2014 they switched, they switched back to good

mag in the September 2015, but the problem was for more than a year,

residents have been complaining about problems of the water. Those

completes were ignored. That's with the investigation now will centre

on. Why were those complaints ignored? It was not just from local

residents. A group led the study on the water. They raised concerns

about lead in the water. They were dismissed initially. There was a

doctor who vowed elevated lead in the blood levels of local children.

Which coincided with the point at which the water there had been

switched. Those claims initially were dismissed. Why were all of

those issues, from people were raising red flags, why were none of

those taken seriously? There are several investigations going on and

now it is a question of waiting for the outcome of some of those.

Thank you for updating us on that. Next I've got the latest report. It

is from a major new toy exhibition in London.

From a massive drone to the slightly interactive 's storm trooper, you

can see all the latest trends at the show but the most interesting toys

ear combine both the old and the new.

What it will do is tell you how many laps you have done, it will tell you

who has won, it will tell you when your fuel is low so we discarded a

modern twist to a traditional classic and away.

Our retro game makers going to have to do that? Combine the ancient and

modern as well? There was a lot of that going around

and as long as it can add something in terms of value but the people

buying it then we will look at it. We don't tell them what the story

is, we don't say it is a boy or a girl, we let the kids create the

story themselves and let them decide what the story is. They are the

directors, they are ready Steven Spielberg 's. They are the creators.

Thanks. If you're watching outside source you will have seen me play a

port about Vladimir Putin and it included multiple allegations that

the president has used his position to make huge amount of money. It

also included an accusation from the US Treasury that Mr Putin is

corrupt. The Kremlin has responded to what the US Treasury said

saying... The panorama programme carried a

claim that Mr Putin has a very expensive yacht. For the first time,

young people under 16 are thought to be spending more time playing and

socialising online than they do watching traditional TV. It is a

tipping point, we're being told. Here Duncan Kennedy. For young

people, the box has become a bit about blank. Take the Clarkson is

from Bournemouth, now a typical British families who are swapping

tallies but tablets. Isabella is 12 and uses her mobile device for

social media. TV is much less important. Family movies, will watch

it, but other than that usually we don't watch it too much because you

got tallies on the phone. Go upstairs and you will find

another device in the hands of ten-year-old Rosalie. She's as TV is

just not mobile enough. Could you live without telly? Yes,

because they don't really go on it much. So I just stay on my phone.

Back downstairs, there is yet another device, this time being

worked on by seven-year-old Toby who says telly doesn't work.

Because you're just sitting around watching the screen and doing

absolutely nothing. Well, Toby and sisters are typical

of what's going on. Today's report confirms a sea change in children's

screen habits. They are viewing three hours online compared to just

two hours of television. 60% watch television on a mobile device. While

73% now have the Internet in their bedrooms. Millions of people like

the Clarkson 's are still watching TV on TV. They recognise viewing

habits and devices are now changing. It is a family time together that we

do something and like the TV for that but for personal use and think

that it is of the drastic tool, it is a great thing for them to have,

it's just that we're still learning about it.

Today's report says it his online channels like net flicks and YouTube

that most youngsters are now watching. So was television

finished? Television will never die out. It is

too big business. But television makers can respond to the new

audiences and what the new audiences want and embrace them in some way,

use that interactivity to their then television is going to ride as it is

never done before. So it may be too early to sound the

TV alarm bells yet. But for young people, the hearts does now seem to

be in a different place. Let me quickly have a look about the

Mac at the screen. We will be looking at the race for the

Democratic nomination and also the search for someone who has won a lot

of money here in the
