:00:11. > :00:16.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:17. > :00:18.David Cameron has been in Parliament, defending those

:00:19. > :00:24.proposals to reform the European Union.

:00:25. > :00:30.In the single market, free to travel around Europe, part of an

:00:31. > :00:33.organisation where cooperation on security and trade can make Britain

:00:34. > :00:34.and its partners are safer and more prosperous.

:00:35. > :00:36.Donald Trump lost to Ted Cruz in Iowa.

:00:37. > :00:39.But now he says there was fraud involved, and has called

:00:40. > :00:49.No sign of that happening. We will also play you the latest report from

:00:50. > :00:52.Clive Myrie, who has been in Lebanon, meeting some of the million

:00:53. > :00:59.Syrian refugees that are living there. And in sport, we will see who

:01:00. > :01:01.fares best when a Formula one car comes up against the Bath rugby

:01:02. > :01:25.team. Important developments in the war in

:01:26. > :01:29.Syria. The United Nations has called a temporary halt to talks that were

:01:30. > :01:32.going on with an aim to end hostilities in Syria. This is

:01:33. > :01:35.interesting, coming in from the Reuters news agency. The French

:01:36. > :01:38.Foreign Minister has accused the Syrian government and allies of what

:01:39. > :01:41.he says is torpedoing peace talks. He blamed a large offensive

:01:42. > :01:44.on the city of Aleppo backed The Syrian army says it has broken

:01:45. > :02:03.the siege of two towns. Nubl and Zahra - which have been

:02:04. > :02:08.blockaded for around three years. The government says it has broken

:02:09. > :02:11.the siege. This all comes on the eve

:02:12. > :02:14.of a fundraising conference here in London to help those

:02:15. > :02:22.affected by the Syria conflict. They will be encouraged to donate

:02:23. > :02:27.aid to help the millions of people affected by the conflict. One

:02:28. > :02:38.country certain to be on the agenda is Lebanon. At neighbours Syria and

:02:39. > :02:44.has been profoundly affected. It has a population close to 6 million.

:02:45. > :02:48.Over 1 million Syrian refugees are registered as living there at the

:02:49. > :02:53.moment. This visualisation shows you the different places where refugees

:02:54. > :02:58.are living at the moment. There are hundreds of red dots. We are going

:02:59. > :03:06.to focus on one place, south from Beirut. Clive Myrie has been there.

:03:07. > :03:10.We will hear from Clive, speaking in a moment. First, here is his report.

:03:11. > :03:11.The bags of supplies, blankets and clothes,

:03:12. > :03:16.Hand-outs for Syrian refugees in Lebanon,

:03:17. > :03:19.who all hoped the exile was temporary, but for whom the months

:03:20. > :03:27.Of those who fled Syria, 70% now live in extreme poverty.

:03:28. > :03:31.This man says he wants to work, but it's tough.

:03:32. > :03:36.He would get less than $13 a day, and there are too few jobs anyway.

:03:37. > :03:46.Countries like Britain say they want the labour market opened up,

:03:47. > :03:48.so more refugees can work - then they won't try

:03:49. > :03:54.But Lebanon argues the neighbouring war has wrecked growth

:03:55. > :04:00.and there aren't enough jobs for their own people.

:04:01. > :04:05.TRANSLATION: We depend on charities to help the refugees.

:04:06. > :04:09.The numbers coming here are simply too great for us to cope with.

:04:10. > :04:12.The war in neighbouring Syria has devastated Lebanon's economy.

:04:13. > :04:15.Billions has been lost in tourism, trade and investment.

:04:16. > :04:21.Unemployment is running at more than 30%.

:04:22. > :04:23.So, calls to open up the labour market here are

:04:24. > :04:28.Crop picking in Lebanon has traditionally been dominated

:04:29. > :04:37.But newly registered refugees aren't allowed to work, and those

:04:38. > :04:42.unregistered must find an employer to sponsor them.

:04:43. > :04:44.At this warehouse in Beirut, we found several men

:04:45. > :04:53.He says workers are often exploited, that he was not paid

:04:54. > :04:59.for two months work, but there was nothing he could do.

:05:00. > :05:01.Yes, these children, their families, have escaped a war

:05:02. > :05:12.This half-finished shopping mall is home to hundreds

:05:13. > :05:17.Most live hand to mouth, borrowing money, surviving on aid

:05:18. > :05:30.They include a single mum with five children.

:05:31. > :05:32.TRANSLATION: There is nothing to live for.

:05:33. > :05:35.I would love to go home, but the war has gone on so long,

:05:36. > :05:51.I guess I might be stuck in this room for a very long time.

:05:52. > :05:56.This is the province she left behind. She, like millions of

:05:57. > :06:03.others, trying to make a new life as a refugee.

:06:04. > :06:06.We heard the woman at the end of Clive's report saying

:06:07. > :06:13.I've been talking to Clive about how many others share that ambition.

:06:14. > :06:15.Not necessarily, Marion is one of those who says

:06:16. > :06:18.she would like to go back to her home, resume her life,

:06:19. > :06:22.So much of Syria has been destroyed by

:06:23. > :06:25.A lot of people don't have anything to go

:06:26. > :06:30.Perhaps, in crude terms, you can split them along

:06:31. > :06:35.Slightly older reugees might feel that they do want to go back

:06:36. > :06:37.to Syria, resume their lives, pick up

:06:38. > :06:42.There are others, perhaps younger, who feel that they

:06:43. > :06:46.may be willing to take the chance to move to Europe,

:06:47. > :06:49.to move further north from the Middle East,

:06:50. > :06:54.It depends very much who you talk to.

:06:55. > :06:56.At the bottom line is, a lot of these

:06:57. > :06:59.people, all of these people, have issues as far as their refugee

:07:00. > :07:09.In Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, as you saw in my report,

:07:10. > :07:13.That's making it difficult for them and

:07:14. > :07:15.that is what the London conference is about.

:07:16. > :07:18.It's about trying to make the conditions in their countries,

:07:19. > :07:20.around the war zone itself, more palatable for the refugees

:07:21. > :07:27.As a result, cut out the possibility of people getting onto rafts

:07:28. > :07:30.and dinghies, and trying to get across the Mediterranean to make

:07:31. > :07:33.I'm interested to ask you about the effect on Lebanese

:07:34. > :07:41.What is the relationship between the communities of refugees

:07:42. > :07:46.you have visited and the locals nearby?

:07:47. > :07:51.I mean, they are neighbouring countries and cross-border trade

:07:52. > :07:54.is huge between Syria and Lebanon, or at least it was before

:07:55. > :08:02.Billions of dollars was generated because of

:08:03. > :08:06.You get a lot of migrant workers coming over from Syria and working

:08:07. > :08:09.So relationships have, by and large been good.

:08:10. > :08:11.I think the welcome that the majority of the Lebanese

:08:12. > :08:13.people have given to the Syrians has been

:08:14. > :08:21.We spoke to one of the local officials

:08:22. > :08:24.here today, who said that this town, which has a population

:08:25. > :08:26.of about 20,000, close to a quarter of those

:08:27. > :08:29.While they are welcoming them in, there is

:08:30. > :08:31.no question about that, it is difficult, and social

:08:32. > :08:38.They are calling for the international

:08:39. > :08:41.community, and perhaps some of those people turning up at a conference

:08:42. > :08:42.in London tomorrow, to get their heads

:08:43. > :08:45.together, get more donor aid and to get more money to help those

:08:46. > :08:48.countries in the region who are trying to deal

:08:49. > :08:51.with what is one of the worsening refugee crises that the world has

:08:52. > :08:57.Certainly in the last 20 or 30 years.

:08:58. > :09:04.If you would like to see that report, share it with somebody else

:09:05. > :09:09.will get more information on the conflict, you can get that on BBC

:09:10. > :09:10.News online. Time for sport. A really interesting story.

:09:11. > :09:12.The highest-value football transfer January was confirmed today.

:09:13. > :09:15.And for the first time ever the top buyer is

:09:16. > :09:21.Guangzhou Evergrande have paid 46 million dollars

:09:22. > :09:26.for Atletico Madrid's Colombian striker Jackson Martinez.

:09:27. > :09:31.We tried to find a picture of the man himself

:09:32. > :09:38.smiling as the deal is done - no luck though.

:09:39. > :09:49.No doubt he is very excited about the match. Ore, the deals keep

:09:50. > :09:56.coming from the big Chinese sides. This feels like a significant shift?

:09:57. > :10:01.It could be. Yes. It doesn't often happen, $46 billion spent in China,

:10:02. > :10:06.so soon after $31 million was spent on Ramirez of Chelsea, also going to

:10:07. > :10:10.China. You could say it is changing times. No secret, the Chinese

:10:11. > :10:14.President is a big fan of football. No doubt he would love to see the

:10:15. > :10:21.Chinese Super League turning into a superpower. It's not the first time

:10:22. > :10:27.that big-money has been on players from Europe. The likes of Nicholas

:10:28. > :10:30.Anelka and Didier Drogba came over, and it didn't exactly start a

:10:31. > :10:35.massive spending spree. We will have to wait and see if it is a watershed

:10:36. > :10:38.moment. In the meantime, a couple of games going on in the Premier

:10:39. > :10:43.League. I can't watch them, I am on the Premier League. 0-0 between

:10:44. > :10:48.Watford and Chelsea looks pretty good? Well, good for Watford. They

:10:49. > :10:52.will take that against the champions. Chelsea still in the

:10:53. > :10:55.bottom half. Funnily enough, against Watford Guus Hiddink started his

:10:56. > :11:07.second spell as interim manager at Chelsea. Watford stay in the top

:11:08. > :11:13.half of the table. Everton, 3-0 against Newcastle United. Newcastle

:11:14. > :11:17.down to ten men towards the end. Aaron Lennon opened the scoring,

:11:18. > :11:19.before two Ross Barkley penalties. Rob Elliott did his best to try to

:11:20. > :11:27.keep the score down. In the end, Everton were much too good for

:11:28. > :11:34.Newcastle, they stay in the relegation zone. Everton have only

:11:35. > :11:38.scored nine in their last ten games. -- nine points. Not a good result

:11:39. > :11:48.for anybody to do with Valencia, not least Gary Neville. Suarez, with two

:11:49. > :11:52.goals. Lionel Messi with another hat-trick. It could have been worse.

:11:53. > :11:57.Neymar missed a penalty in the first hour. Valencia, down to ten men.

:11:58. > :12:00.Looks like Gary Neville are still looking for his first win in La

:12:01. > :12:07.Liga. He will also be on his way out of the Copa Del Rey, despite the

:12:08. > :12:14.lovely weather in rain, not having a great time. I'm going to play you a

:12:15. > :12:22.promo video that is being watched an awful lot. This is a Formula one car

:12:23. > :12:26.from Red Bull Racing. The forwards from the Bath rugby team, taking

:12:27. > :12:37.place in the grand setting you can see there. Daniel Ricciardo at the

:12:38. > :12:41.controls. 1000 break horsepower against 831 kilograms. This went on

:12:42. > :12:52.for awhile. Plenty of effort in either direction. It ended up being

:12:53. > :12:59.a draw. I guess in promo videos you get to choose the outcome, unlike in

:13:00. > :13:05.sport. If you are watching in South Africa, there has been a really

:13:06. > :13:12.significant development in one of the stories of the last few years.

:13:13. > :13:14.President Jacob Zuma says he will pay back some

:13:15. > :13:16.of the government funds that were used to upgrade

:13:17. > :13:25.Specially adapted cars can be an essential tool for living a full

:13:26. > :13:27.and active life if you have a disability.

:13:28. > :13:29.They are available through the motability scheme,

:13:30. > :13:33.But under new rules all members of that scheme are to be reassessed,

:13:34. > :13:36.and so far nearly 30,000 have lost their cars.

:13:37. > :13:43.Our disability correspondent Nikki Fox has been investigating.

:13:44. > :13:45.These adaptations enable many disabled people to drive.

:13:46. > :13:52.A hoist like this can cost thousands of pounds.

:13:53. > :13:59.But help comes in the form of the Motability scheme.

:14:00. > :14:01.Denise got this car on that very scheme.

:14:02. > :14:08.As a child protection officer, for her this specially adapted

:14:09. > :14:16.I can't physically get out without it.

:14:17. > :14:18.Born without thigh bones, Denise says she cannot walk more

:14:19. > :14:27.I can't even walk to work, so I would have to give my job up.

:14:28. > :14:32.360,000 people like Denise are being reassessed as part

:14:33. > :14:36.Following her assessment, Denise was told she is no longer

:14:37. > :14:46.disabled enough to receive the money that helps pay for her car.

:14:47. > :14:49.I have never, ever in my life, ever felt disabled until the past

:14:50. > :14:52.It is supposed to be personal independence.

:14:53. > :14:55.It was not personal and it is not making me independent in any way

:14:56. > :15:02.Denise is taking her case further, and she's not alone.

:15:03. > :15:05.Latest figures show of all the appeals to do with personal

:15:06. > :15:06.independence payments, 60% have been found

:15:07. > :15:12.What is going wrong with the assessment process?

:15:13. > :15:14.There are millions of people in this system, there will be mistakes,

:15:15. > :15:18.if you do not get the decision you think is right for you,

:15:19. > :15:20.we set out exactly why, which gives you the opportunity

:15:21. > :15:22.to think well, actually, if only my occupational therapist

:15:23. > :15:29.or my physio or my GP had submitted evidence.

:15:30. > :15:42.Rightly, we have a system that allows for appeal,

:15:43. > :15:45.For many disabled people, driving is the only option.

:15:46. > :15:50.And the Motability scheme helps make that a reality.

:15:51. > :15:53.But with hundreds of thousands of drivers still to be reassessed,

:15:54. > :15:56.the odds are there will be many more who stand to lose their cars.

:15:57. > :16:11.David Cameron has been defending his EU reform

:16:12. > :16:21.The deal has been criticised by several of his own MPs.

:16:22. > :16:26.If you're watching outside of the UK, world News America is next.

:16:27. > :16:29.They've got more on Donald Trump accusing Ted Cruz of fraud

:16:30. > :16:35.They're covering the story that a death certificate has finally been

:16:36. > :16:49.Latest chapter in an epic South African story that reaches

:16:50. > :17:01.It's about President Jacob Zuma and his private residence, which you can

:17:02. > :17:05.see here. He says he will pay back some of the government funds that

:17:06. > :17:12.were used to develop this complex. The figures are not small. It is a

:17:13. > :17:18.place called Nkandla. The word in question was worth $23 million. You

:17:19. > :17:23.can see the size of the compound. Let's look at what the money would

:17:24. > :17:28.get you. Here's a satellite image of the property in 2006. Note the road

:17:29. > :17:36.here. This is a picture taken much later, after the work was done. It

:17:37. > :17:37.is not really recognisable. Apart from that road, the development is

:17:38. > :17:52.substantial. President Jacob Zuma's announcement

:17:53. > :17:54.that he's willing to pay for his refurbishments

:17:55. > :17:56.in his private home in Nkandla comes just a week before

:17:57. > :18:00.a constitutional court hearing which would be held right

:18:01. > :18:03.here, in this building. The opposition political parties

:18:04. > :18:07.have brought the President here to force him to comply

:18:08. > :18:09.with the public protector's remedial recommendation, that he must

:18:10. > :18:14.pay some of the money for the non-security

:18:15. > :18:15.features which were These features include

:18:16. > :18:22.a swimming pool, which some in the government

:18:23. > :18:27.described as a fire pool. They include an

:18:28. > :18:28.amphitheatre, a cattle That is what the

:18:29. > :18:38.opposition party want President Zuma is also

:18:39. > :18:40.avoiding embarrassment, not just here, but

:18:41. > :18:42.also in Parliament. Last year, the opposition

:18:43. > :18:44.party, EFF, were heckling and chanting,

:18:45. > :18:46.pay back the money, just before President Zuma delivered

:18:47. > :18:48.his State of the Nation He probably doesn't

:18:49. > :19:03.want to see that again. But there are others who believe

:19:04. > :19:06.that this move is to try and avoid the problem in the coming local

:19:07. > :19:08.government elections. The African National Congress,

:19:09. > :19:10.which President Zuma leads, They find that this issue has been

:19:11. > :19:14.a sore point for the voters. They want to make sure that,

:19:15. > :19:17.by the time they are out there, canvassing votes, that the issue

:19:18. > :19:33.of Nkandla has been settled once Some opposition politicians have

:19:34. > :19:34.been calling for the President to resign. My reaction was that it

:19:35. > :19:40.feels very unlikely. Next let's bring in the analysis

:19:41. > :19:48.of Nick Ericsson, a South African He's probably not going to resign.

:19:49. > :19:53.It's been a pretty bad day for Jacob Zuma. It's probably fair to say he

:19:54. > :19:58.has had worse days. I can think of late last year, when he tried to

:19:59. > :20:04.replace finance minister. Three in a week? We covered it on the BBC. If

:20:05. > :20:09.he survived that, he can probably survive that as well. It hasn't stop

:20:10. > :20:17.the opposition from continuing to say that he should resign. We have

:20:18. > :20:20.elections coming up. They could be in for a drubbing because of the

:20:21. > :20:25.negative publicity around these scandals. We waited to see. I first

:20:26. > :20:30.thought was, how is he going to find this kind of cash? Is a hugely

:20:31. > :20:34.successful man, the President. For any individual, this kind of money

:20:35. > :20:37.is hard to lay your hands on? To be clear, is not offering to pay for

:20:38. > :20:46.all of the money, he is saying some of it. He has been very specific

:20:47. > :20:48.about how much he is prepared to pay. He says he's going to ask the

:20:49. > :20:51.Attorney General and finance minister to come up with a son, but

:20:52. > :20:54.he says he is prepared to pay money. That is gradually the crux of the

:20:55. > :21:00.issue. Was that figure is arrived at, we will see if the order South

:21:01. > :21:05.African populace will accept the fact that he has taken

:21:06. > :21:08.responsibility for these non-security upgrades. I was going

:21:09. > :21:13.to ask about this, the impression from afar is that the view of NICE

:21:14. > :21:19.and Jacob Zuma are almost fixed by this point, because the issue has

:21:20. > :21:27.been around so long. Has, since 2009, when a newspaper in South

:21:28. > :21:31.Africa broke the story. Any hope that he might have, by making this

:21:32. > :21:34.announcement, it interesting he made the announcement when the press is

:21:35. > :21:44.already went out, when it was quite late at night, any hope that he

:21:45. > :21:47.might have taken it out of the story by saying this is a bit far-fetched.

:21:48. > :22:02.There is an African live page on BBC News. Let's update you on the Zito

:22:03. > :22:04.virus. -- Zika virus. Most cases have been in Latin America and in

:22:05. > :22:11.the US. The centre of the outbreak

:22:12. > :22:21.is a place called Recife in Brazil. We are going to go over to El

:22:22. > :22:27.Salvador. Several countries are advising women to hold off from

:22:28. > :22:31.getting pregnant, if they can. In El Salvador that is not easy advice,

:22:32. > :22:37.because contraception is not widely available. Katie Watson is there.

:22:38. > :22:40.For these women, this is a rare chance to understand what options

:22:41. > :22:42.they have when it comes to contraception.

:22:43. > :22:44.But they don't like to use that word.

:22:45. > :22:45.In this deeply religious country, these volunteers

:22:46. > :22:51.Some women are not free to choose how to protect themselves,

:22:52. > :22:55.They hide it, so when they do visits, they focus on counselling

:22:56. > :23:01.With growing concerns about Zika, contraception and sexual health have

:23:02. > :23:05.In theory, the government makes contraceptives

:23:06. > :23:12.Nkandla But it is a very different reality in these poor

:23:13. > :23:18.TRANSLATION: You go to the health centre and they say there

:23:19. > :23:22.If there is, they are past their use by date.

:23:23. > :23:24.TRANSLATION: Most of the time, young people won't go
